  • This is a summary from @[email protected]:

    TL;DW:

    • Patrick Breyer and Niklas Nienaß submitted questions to the European Commission on the topic of killing games (the latter in contact with Ross and two EU based lawyers).
    • EU won’t commit to answering whether games are goods or services.
    • EULA are probably unfair due to imbalance of rights and obligations between the parties.
    • Such terminations should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis (preferably by countries rather than EU).
    • Existing laws don’t seem to cover this issue.
    • Campaign in France seems to be gaining some traction. Case went to “the highest level where most commercial disputes submitted to DGCCRF never go”.
    • UK petition was suppose to get a revised response after the initial one was found lacking. Due to upcoming elections all petitions were closed and it might have to be resubmitted.
    • Also in UK, there’s a plan to report games killed in the last few years to the Competition and Markets Authority starting in August (CMA will get some additional power by then apparently).
    • No real news from Germany, Canada or Brazil.
    • Australian petition is over and waiting for a reply. Ross also hired a law firm to represent the issue.

    This is a simplified version of simplified version.


























  • The crux of this video is that the creator of it didn’t have a firm stance on either side of that argument until, during one bout of generations, Bing produced an almost exact replica of the "Is this _____?"meme. It crossed the threshold of ‘inspiration’ into out-and-out copying, and he provides a theory as to how that happened.

    Ultimately, he now feels uncomfortable using AI generations in any sort of commercial endeavor due to that risk of plagiarism, and the ethical concerns that raises.
