Since AI allows more people to partake in creating audio/visual works, as long as it remains legal to run local ai and the cost isn’t prohibitive… social, governmental and business institutions can’t stop us from claiming memetic and cultural territory. It gives individuals more power and agency.
If they make every game woke, we can make our own.
If non AI artists boycott us for political reasons, we can skip them and do it ourselves.
This is why open source AI is so important, it diffuses tyrannical cultural power.

MIDNATHON DAY 88
The timer is officially LOCKED at 50 HOURS and the final countdown begins today!
Today we’re continuing Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave as we start the last stretch of Midnathon 🥰
Game studios are already signaling having to shut down their games due to the EU #KidsAct!
Sign #StopKillingInternet to keep our private servers safe from being illegal, and to keep age verification away from our games!: https://t.co/v7hdjshgB1
If this proposal passes as written, it is the end of SuperTuxKart in the EU — and possibly the end of the project.
We need to be serious for a moment.
We cannot "block the EU market." We cannot prevent private servers. The code is GPL. Anyone can run one.
That is not a loophole — it is the entire point of open source.
We could not detect EU players on VPNs without tracking our players. We will not track our players. Not for Brussels, not for anyone.
A law written for tech giants is about to outlaw free and open source software made with love.
