There also a comment from a mod in there that you should read.

Amongst other things, yes.
Activision User Research Union-CWA is the first group of video game user researchers to form a union
So what exactly about their users do they research?
Man, this current age of AI really sucks.
From the article …
GNOME sysadmin Bart Piotrowski shared on Mastodon that only about 3.2 percent of requests (2,690 out of 84,056) passed their challenge system, suggesting the vast majority of traffic was automated.
73·3 个月前Double check me on this, but I think they have a “-site:” parameter that you can use in your searches.
Lemmy is a lot of different inter-connected sites, most of which don’t even contain “Lemmy” in their name, making it a much more difficult ask.
A search engine could easily enough set up their own Lemmy server to search from. Same with Mastodon.
Great to hear! Way overdue. That industry really needs some of those protections.
From the article …
The launch will be formally announced at the 2025 Game Developer Conference in San Francisco, Calif., the world’s largest industry event for video game professionals, where workers will be joined by other CWA members to launch this powerful new organization.
From United States Copyright Office …
Based on an analysis of copyright law and policy, informed by the many thoughtful comments in response to our NOI, the Office makes the following conclusions and recommendations:
• Questions of copyrightability and AI can be resolved pursuant to existing law, without the need for legislative change.
• The use of AI tools to assist rather than stand in for human creativity does not affect the availability of copyright protection for the output.
• Copyright protects the original expression in a work created by a human author, even if the work also includes AI-generated material.
• Copyright does not extend to purely AI-generated material, or material where there is insufficient human control over the expressive elements.
• Whether human contributions to AI-generated outputs are sufficient to constitute authorship must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
• Based on the functioning of current generally available technology, prompts do not alone provide sufficient control.
• Human authors are entitled to copyright in their works of authorship that are perceptible in AI-generated outputs, as well as the creative selection, coordination, or arrangement of material in the outputs, or creative modifications of the outputs.
• The case has not been made for additional copyright or sui generis protection for AI- generated content.
The Office will continue to monitor technological and legal developments to determine whether any of these conclusions should be revisited. It will also provide ongoing assistance to the public, including through additional registration guidance and an update to the Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices.
From the article …
This effectively means that, if you get banned by the Bluesky company, you’re out. Sure, you could still host your own Personal Data Server, wait for a non-existent independent Relay to fetch your data and interact with users of third-party Bluesky applications. But you won’t: you’re effectively at the mercy of the Bluesky company.
Point two, and more importantly: this approach provides an “exit strategy” in the event that Bluesky “goes evil”. Right now, that’s false: parts of the social network are still centralized and it’s impossible to avoid that. But even if we limit ourselves to PDSs and Relay, the current situation is that federation is only achievable in theory and no one has done it in practice yet.
From the article…
Other AI tools are really good at filling in the blanks in images, too, but Gemini Flash is particularly good at it
Other AI models can do this too, but you have to be a bit smarter about how you ask about it. As Verge highlights, Anthropic’s latest Claude model, and OpenAI’s GPT 4o will refuse to alter watermarked images. We can confirm that when you add copyright-protected images to Microsoft Office applications, its Copilot and Design tools will refuse to modify them directly.
From the article…
Surprisingly, premium paid versions of these AI search tools fared even worse in certain respects. Perplexity Pro ($20/month) and Grok 3’s premium service ($40/month) confidently delivered incorrect responses more often than their free counterparts.
Though these premium models correctly answered a higher number of prompts, their reluctance to decline uncertain responses drove higher overall error rates.
Depends if there were dumb lumbering giants outside that would eat me, ‘Attack on Titan’ style.
Sounds like good times, indeed.
No. It was for a Star Wars roleplay but not a video game. It started life in the newsgroup de.rec.sf.starwars
Ah, ok, nice! Was that the old D6 version, or the newer D20 one?
and I played the role of Emperor.
You dark person you! 😜
From the article …
And, though newly retired, he knew that he had to do something. He showed up at EFF’s front door in early 2006 with a simple question: “Do you folks care about privacy?” We did. And what Mark told us changed everything.
The article is a good read, short. Worth your time.
And Mr. Klein, if you’re out there, thank you for your service. /heart-to-chest-salute
Apologies for being off-topic, but the domain name, “swg-empire.de”, does the ‘swg’ part ‘Star Wars Galaxies’ by chance?
what’s the particular license about?
These links can explain it better than I could …
By default, everything you write, from a novel to an Internet forum shitpost, is not only copyrighted by you but also “all rights reserved.”
What that guy is doing is (a) making his writings more available for reuse than they would be otherwise, and (b) making a point about how fucked-up it is that corporations treat stuff posted to social media as if it were a free-for-all they could use however they want.
the license is actually a Creative Commons license for Non-Commercial uses. Creative Commons is a copyleft license that’s “free to use with some restrictions”. Mostly used in art, literature, audio, and film, for my part I’m using it to license my comments. Anybody can cite with attribution, but commercial use is forbidden by the license.
The why: I just don’t like non-opensource commercial ventures. Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Facebook, Apple, and so on are harmful in many ways.
Enforcement and legality: Microsoft’s Github CoPilot (a large language model / “AI”) was trained on copyrighted text source code. A few licenses clearly state that derivatives should also be opensource, which CoPilot is not. So there is a big lawsuit against it. Many artists, non-programmer authors, musicians, and others are also unhappy that AI was trained on their copyrighted works and have sued for damages. Until these cases make it out of court, it will not be clear if adding a license to comments could even jeopardize commercial AI vendors.
This link shows that ProPublica also licenses their content here on Lemmy.
I want to license my content to be available to non-profit open-source, and restricted for for-profit.
I understand that its not my responsibility to enforce laws, and that just because laws are not enforced currently that I should still be able to avail myself to them, as well as that enforcement of the laws may not be happen currently, but that enforcement will catch up to the reality on the ground.
Also, that laws trump ToS’s. And “Safe Harbor” laws that corporate social media companies/sites protects themselves with state that we own our content, and not them. And that they (or anyone else) can’t use a ToS to strip away our ownership, and hence, our content licensing. Also, content licenses travel with their licensed content, no matter where the content is copied to.
Forgot to mention, I’m not a Sov Cit. I pay my house taxes, and drivers license fee, and my car registration, etc. I don’t believe in that cause.
Finally, if the license link looks weird, it may be that your app/client does not support Lemmy.World’s formatting text. You would have to speak with the devs of the product you use to view Lemmy to get that corrected.
A mods response to the usage of a license to a third-party.
More than just a good read, that’s one of the project/programming Ten Commandments.
Can’t tell you how many times over the decades I’ve had to argue with project managers about that.
