Australia is planning some of the world's toughest AI regulations
• Water usage will be limited
• AI data centers will be required to become net producers of energy
• AI companies can't train on Australian creators' work without their permission
• Proposals expected to be introduced as legislation in 2027
“Australian writers, musicians, artists and journalists must retain ownership and control of their work. Our laws will spell that out, plain as day ... anything less is theft"
Pro tip for Black Ops 1 btw, break out of the chair at the main menu (by spamming L2 + R2), then go to the computer in the back of the room and type in 3ARC UNLOCK to unlock FIVE, Dead Ops, all campaign missions, etc. Can also do DOA just for Dead Ops. Many other codes too.
I completely understand where you’re coming from, but for a lot of gamers physical discs are the only way they could afford to play games because they could get them secondhand. You can also give games to your younger siblings Which is a great way to introduce them to the games you were playing.
Most importantly though, as we saw from PlayStation this past week, if the media we buy is only digital, it can be taken away from us at a moment’s notice with no recourse. Imagine that, one day your entire library of games could be deleted overnight because technically you don’t own it.

Eventually, even digital data will no longer be owned by individuals on their own initiative. Whenever there is a major change or accident in the world, in a country, in a government, in an idea, in a trend, access to it may suddenly be cut off.
Kenneth Blume (fka @kennybeats) shared that "Jesus Is the One (I Got Depression)"—his viral freestyle with @zackfox—has been certified Gold by RIAA. The certification comes seven years after the track's release.
The freestyle was recorded for Blume's YouTube series The Cave and features Fox rapping in a top hat and sunglasses about Thousand Island dressing and mental illness, among many other things. In a tweet about the milestone, Blume revealed that they donated half of the song's proceeds to The Trevor Project since its 2019 release, raising nearly $60,000 for the organization.
