These floor crossings really don't sit well with me.
Nothing stopping the MPs from advocating for legislation they approve of within their current parties. If they come to an impasse and feel compelled to vote against their party wishes then consider a crossing or independent status.
Key art for a game called Pickmon. It features Charizard with feathers, lucario, meganium, and pikachu by way of pawmo. An embarrassing display
New Pokemon knockoff announced, Lmao okay sure guys just do whatever you want who cares artistic integrity is nothing now
Doing some summer photography. These are definitely flowers of some description, I think.

Some great conclusions in the House of Lords report on AI and copyright. The entire report (linked in follow up) is worth a read.
I really wish Canada (and the UK govt) would pay attention!
They destroy the argument that big tech should be given the countryโs creative output for free, and they lay out the case for maintaining and even strengthening existing copyright law to protect creatives from exploitation.

The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

Everything about this story is just terrible. From the people who use these 'smart glasses', to the poor saps doing the 'AI' dataset annotations, to the corporate ghouls who run the show.
Say 'no' to glassholes.

Katie Simpson's question was very apt - will it still ultimately be up to big tech companies to decide what is and isn't a threat?
Solomon prevaricated but ultimately the answer fell on yes - they still get to decide.
We've gotta have a backbone and start standing up for what's right.
Whether it is big tech or the rule of law, ethics, morality, and justice shouldn't depend on how much money and influence the offenders have.
Katie Simpson just asked AI Minister/Evangelist Evan Solomon a very important question - Will it still be ultimately up to tech companies to assess what is a threat to Canadians?
Solomon prevaricated but ultimately the answer was yes.
The guy is good at making big speeches about how we all need to stand up and protect international rule of law. "Don't continue to just put the sign in the window."
His follow through on his speeches sucks, though.
Why โช@why.bsky.teamโฌ Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff. In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast
in case you ever wondered why bsky breaks all the fuckin time and is increasingly a pile of jank

"Knowledge is worth nothing now!"
I enjoy learning things. I enjoy creating things myself. I like the sense of accomplishment when conquering a challenge.
I hate interacting with ignorant people and bots.
So the "knowledge is worth nothing" crowd can kindly go elsewhere.
Your own purrsonal assistant! ๐ฌ๐บ
The Supreme Court has declined to hear a case over AI's copyright eligibility, effectively backing the United States Copyright Office's stance that copyright only applies to human authored works ๐ฅ
Not counting on Evan "We've over-indexed on regulation" Solomon to get this right. We have zero regulation and yet he saw fit to throw out anything coming through the process.
All the negatives for Canadians remain. All the positives flow to big tech.

Ever wanted be a fox? You can be a fox in this game, and also support real-life foxes.
The money from this new DLC that allows you to play as real foxes over at SaveAFox - including Finnegan - goes directly to support this shelter and its floof balls :)

Video game reviews are dubious at best as far too many don't put in the time to actually do quality reviews and those that do are drowned out by the slop.
This is just 100% more slop.
Avoid at all costs.
"Have you even said Thank You?" is now a US national policy.
Oh yes cause this sounds super useful and not at all like a soul crushing surveillance tech environment.
Excellent arguments against sacrificing your creativity and self improvement to generative AI.
