My thoughts on "#AI and #copyright: Addressing an incongruity", and why is #photograpy, which can be just a click of a button (although a good photograph may involve a lot more), protected by copyright, when AI generated art is not? Maybe it is just time to re-evaluate, stop allowing large corporations to profit from increasingly restrictive copyright and get rid of it altogether, moving towards #opensource, with technology providing solutions through patronage and crowdfunding. That way we can head towards a future where creativity, irrespective of its source -- be it human or AI -- is celebrated instead of being stifled. https://sgryphon.gamertheory.net/2023/05/20/ai-and-copyright-addressing-an-incongruity/

Work Goth Day (May 22) party at Club 1334.

Thank you not #Microsoft. It is fair enough to have systems that don't support #ipv6 yet, but to actively break/fail to work when IPv6 is enabled is pretty bad. Ignore IPv6, sure, but to have your IPv4 systems stop working simply when IPv6 is enabled doesn't really allow any kind of migration path.

So, #AWS #cloudformation vs #AWSCLI. Looks to be ending up the same as Azure #ARM vs #AzureCLI. If you already have the template, and deploy it once, it is good. But developing CLI scripts is quicker (debug one step at a time, rather than all at once). And templates run into the same dead ends: e.g. decides it needs to recreate the entire subnet, so it attempts to, but runs into an IP address conflict with the existing one, and the whole thing stops. There are things/changes that declarative approaches just can't do, and you need to use migrations (CLI scripts).

Watching Dami Im at the Brisbane Eurovision preview party. I still don't understand why Australia is part of Eurovision :-)

Delve into #AI and #automation and it's impact on our future with my latest article, "AI is taking our jobs: Yes, that is the objective"! I discuss the potential benefits of AI-driven productivity, its impact on society, implementation of a #UBI, and how it relates to #StarTrek's vision of a better future. https://sgryphon.gamertheory.net/2023/04/14/ai-is-taking-our-jobs-yes-that-is-the-objective

So another good thing out of the #ogl snafu: the #brp system from @Chaosium has been released under the #orc instead of the crappy limited licence they previously had (that prevented mixing the #ttrpg with public domain sources like Arthurian myth or Cthulhu). Not as good as #creativecommons , and unnecessary, but still better than before https://www.chaosium.com/basic-roleplaying-universal-game-engine-pdf/

The Libertarian non-aggression principle & the Wiccan Rede 'An it harm none do what ye will' are parallels. Both emphasize individual freedom without harm to others. So let's all strive to be kind and responsible individuals, while enjoying the freedom to live our lives to the fullest!. #Wicca #Libertarian"

#dnddirect has confirmed that #JoeManganiello is in production for a #dnd #dragonlance live-action TV show (as well as a documentary). Looking forward to something that will hopefully be drama (and not comedy) https://www.cbr.com/dnd-joe-manganiello-dragonlance-adaptation/

Using an #ipv6 only mobile #iot network and want to connect to #azure #iothub? Not a problem if you have a carrier like #telstra (Australia) that supports #nat64, as in my recent blog article using the #nordic #thingy91 https://purple.telstra.com/blog/device-authentication-with-nordic-thingy-91-and-azure-iot-hub
