Not sure about Sega, but there's a music style that's based around music from games on Nintendo consoles. I listened to a band called The Advantage over 20 years ago. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintend...

Other than contacts within government, I don't see what Watson has that would benefit Palantir. This is cash for access.

Revolving doors and political auctions. Labour peer and former Labour deputy leader Tom Watson joins Palantir. Palantir is trying to save its £330m NHS contract, wants more public contracts. Nick Clegg, Rishi Sunak, George Osborne and others have taken similar jobs.

Trump’s deal to buy Russian diesel from Putin just weeks before the midterms funnels money directly into Russia’s war machine. Trump is now facing calls for Congress to block the deal and impeach him. Meanwhile, energy analysts say it’s unlikely to even make a dent in fuel prices.

TPUSA has a man arrested for challenging Israel at one of their "free speech" events as crowd chants "USA". Some members have complained that since Charlie Kirk died, TPUSA appears to be Israel first, instead of America first. It shows growing divisions amongst US right wing.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

I'm sure Adobe has software patents that are being, or will be, violated here. And, what's the end game here. If it's only imitating Adobe and Adobe stops updating Photoshop, how will new features be added to the imitation?

They're just copies of Adobe's products, made "clean room" with AI vibe coding. Adobe will sue to stop this, and I support them in doing so. Even though I think Adobe sucks, AI sucks even more.

Hamilton also coined the term "software engineering" and founded two successful software companies.

As a species, we're incapable of sharing this planet with the other life here. We're unchallenged so everything - even the air we breathe - is exploited for our benefit. Or the benefit of the few.

I get news from my phone, from social media, but it's people linking to news sources, not some effluencer video bullshit. That, and I read it first hand myself. Often through aggregator sites, like Slashdot. #c4news

Had a long chat with a crew member at RNLI Teignmouth and shown around their B class lifeboat, a few weeks ago while on holiday in Devon. Couple of photos and left a donation. My wife spent a small fortune in the gift shop too! All RNLI crew are real life superheroes as far as I'm concerned.

ChatGPT is adding real cartoonists’ signatures to fake New Yorker cartoons
OpenAI's chatbot isn't just imitating the magazine's style. It's also falsely attributing AI-generated images to real artists.
