- There's a lot of lessons in here but maybe the most pertinent one to everyone is, do not comply in advance. youtu.be/dQMZR64G_eM?...
- Leon's are closing down the literal 2 Leon's I go to with any regularity at all. Last year at Develop I think I literally survived on Leon's at breakfast every day :/ need another reliable vegan meal between Piccadilly and port st beer house Manchester for audio drinks.

"Because its output is generated by users of the chatbot via their prompts, OpenAI said, they were the ones who should be held legally liable for it – an argument rejected by the court."

- Reposted by Ben WollandI went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

- Tomorrow evening is the last Manchester audio drinks of the year. It's at 6pm (although I'm likely going to be there a little later) At the port st beer house. Northern quarter. #gameaudio #Manchester #social
- Cloud storage. Where do you get yours? I've had a modest amount, i used one drive and the bonus was i got word etc... stuff for free as i saw it. Alongside the massive layoffs and the jamming AI into every app, i don't feel much like paying their increased price for M365 anymore. Where should i go?

- Reposted by Ben WollandThis is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.
- BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct. Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

- That EA buyout based on using AI to bring down costs could well be an even bigger catastrophe than I'd assumed.

- my 6 year old is playing #untitledgoosegame on her own for the first time. She just asked me for a pad and paper so she can write the list down so she doesn't have to use "that button" to see the list. Been playing games for 5 seconds and she's already trying to optimize her playthroughs...
- 2 year olds, maybe should be used an elite QA testers? Or i'm just a tired dad. So we've been camping this week in North Wales. It's our youngest first camping holiday. The only way she sleeps if she believes there is no way out of her sleeping room in the tent. So we zip it so the zips are too high

- On the train down to develop. If anyone is about tomorrow during the day and wants to hang. Hmu. I'm not attending the audio track, so I'll be about the expo mainly. #gameaudio #develop
- Some good news at last!
- Just looking through a recording of some thunder in my back yard from last year or the year before. The bit i need is getting stomped on by my daughter who was 4 or 5 and she's talking to my neighbour from her bedroom window. It's really sweet but pretty frustrating right now!

- Reposted by Ben WollandBREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

- Life is pretty stressful. Between the orange one, the laminated face one and permanent mid life crisis one the world is messed up. You know what makes it easier? A two year old that only communicates by screaming and laughing. More screaming than laughing at bed time.
