the fact that the Internet Archive got into bigger trouble for lending books they paid for than Facebook did for reproducing books they pirated tells you everything you need to know about copyright.

1) Sandra used AI to write a report
2) Bill used AI to summarise the report
3) Bill used AI to write questions about the report
4) Sandra used AI to respond to the questions
5) Bill used AI to create a presentation about the report
6) Jane used AI to take notes from the presentation
7) Jane’s team used AI to summarise the notes she shared

No one wrote the report, no one ever read the report, no one understood the questions or the answers.

No business value was achieved

But but but AI adds business value

Un gruppo di fan ha appena acquistato il marchio Commodore con un team che include anche ex dipendenti. Otto mesi di trattative, un mutuo sulla casa e 7 milioni di dollari dopo, il brand che ci ha regalato il SID chip, l'Amiga e infinite ore davanti al "READY" lampeggiante è tornato nelle mani di chi davvero lo capisce. Il sogno di ogni ragazzo degli anni 80 (ri)diventa realtà? Stavolta, per favore, non svegliateci.

Since it's almost Midsummer...

A giant, red, goat-headed demon sits on a stone throne in a subterranean chamber.
"So, it is decided: on midsummer's eve, my words shall spew forth across the land like black fire!"

"We prefer to call it 'publication day'" says his publicist.

"..And we were hoping you might do some social media to to promote the book?"

Things turmn dark, the demon's goat eyes glow
"I cannot fathom the accursed opiate screens that so enthral your kind."

"Yeah, some of our other authors feel that way, but that's why we have Toby: he's an absolute whiz!" she replies, introducing a small man.

"I'll set you up on twitter and you'll be corrupting Souls in no time!" says Toby.

A caption reads: "An hour later"

The demon now has his head in his hands and moans:
"I can endure this Foul parade of doltish barbarity No longer! Please deactivate My account, wizard Toby"

The reason Texas is part of the USA is that Mexico made slavery illegal.

Remember the Alamo? A lot of white people don't know is that what the "brave" people in the Alamo were fighting for was slavery.

That's also why it took two years after the civil war ended for enforcement of anti-slavery in Texas. (it wasn't because of slow communication, as is told in revisionist histories, it was because white people willfully defied the law).

Freedom is always worth fighting for.

Tolstoy’s Christian Anarchism

A fateful visit to a market in Moscow entirely upended Tolstoy’s view on life and society—and changed the trajectory of his work and purpose.

Again I stand by what I said.

"I can't believe I even have to talk about these people. That's how ridiculous it s."

We have the equivalent of the scientologists running the field of AI with untold amounts of money and power and we're the ones who have to do point by point rebuttals of their eugenicists dreams.

This is what three years in russian captivity does to a Ukrainian soldier.
Not a prison — a concentration camp by another name. A machine of humiliation, starvation, and cruelty. Russia didn’t invent this, it inherited it.
This is Gulag 2.0.

Following on from my recent post on Planet Crafter, here's an shot of the base with a little more grass, flowers and blue skies. Terraforming, my new raison d'être

Going through some of my bookmarks and found this c64 version of pacman. Really good port but also really hard but in a good way. ᱝ
