I've finished writing v1 of my "Intro to Game Development for Teens" for the camp I'm teaching this week.

The instructions are available for free and after this week I will also be writing a free teacher's guide if anyone else wants to go over this with their class or kids or whatever else.

(It's "for teens" because you need knowledge of the x, y coordinate plane and the guide covers the distance formula.)

"Anyone at an AI company who stops to think for half a second should be able to recognize they have a vampiric relationship with the commons. While they rely on these repositories for their sustenance, their adversarial and disrespectful relationships with creators reduce the incentives for anyone to make their work publicly available going forward (freely licensed or otherwise). They drain resources from maintainers of those common repositories often without any compensation. They reduce the visibility of the original sources, leaving people unaware that they can or should contribute towards maintaining such valuable projects. AI companies should want a thriving open access ecosystem, ensuring that the models they trained on Wikipedia in 2020 can be continually expanded and updated. Even if AI companies don’t care about the benefit to the common good, it shouldn’t be hard for them to understand that by bleeding these projects dry, they are destroying their own food supply.

And yet many AI companies seem to give very little thought to this, seemingly looking only at the months in front of them rather than operating on years-long timescales. (Though perhaps anyone who has observed AI companies’ activities more generally will be unsurprised to see that they do not act as though they believe their businesses will be sustainable on the order of years.)

It would be very wise for these companies to immediately begin prioritizing the ongoing health of the commons, so that they do not wind up strangling their golden goose. It would also be very wise for the rest of us to not rely on AI companies to suddenly, miraculously come to their senses or develop a conscience en masse.

Instead, we must ensure that mechanisms are in place to force AI companies to engage with these repositories on their creators' terms."

#WritersCoffeeClub March 15. Are you aware of any fanfiction about your work?

Not fanfiction as _such_, but there _have_ been a few people who have used my translations in their own shows (something I actively encourage by releasing them under a #CreativeCommons Zero license).

Also, I know of at least two people who have used them for #ttrpg purposes.

@molly0xfff on AI vs. scraping vs. copyright protection vs. openness. Very thoughtful (as usual) and worth reading.

Also included, this gem (together with other thoughts about sustainable business models):
«Many AI “visionaries” seem perfectly content to promise that artificial superintelligence is just around the corner, but claim that attribution is somehow a permanently unsolvable problem.»

Looking 4 a strange sonic experience? Check out…

RADIO IRRTUM! (on air from Berlin)

↓↓↓ Deutsch Version below unten ↓↓↓

Da next issue of
#RadioIrrtum! is approaching: This Saturday, 2025/03/15, 8:00pm UTC+1/Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz or DAB+ K7D around #Berlin and worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .

#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise your attention for new unheard #music all over this planets genre spectrum. Don't worry about the German language aspect - 'cuz it's all about the #music!

This time with focus on sad pop music and strange experimental sonic somethings, specifically:

-
#Pop music from war zones
- South American
#electroPop
-
#SmoothJazz
- Cut-up club-worthy remixes of
#remix.es
- Trauma-technological
#club punk
- Laibach-style
#EBM
- Truly experimental
#junkElectronica
- well,
#experimentalMusic in general
-
#EggPunk for cats
- Heavy
#shoegaze
- Spoken word
#doomShanties
- Dreamy
#EbassRomance

There is
#CreativeCommons licensed music, and also I thought of having at least one (amazing!) Fediverse artist in here. But turns out, the London music legend Scanner is no more part of the #Fediverse, as his instance mastodonmusic.social closed down (a reasonable decision by the admin, no hard feelings). But this is something, we, the #FediverseAdmins should keep in mind: People (especially technical non skilled ones) once lost will be disappointed and unmotivated to come back :( . This is something very deep level in #ActivityPub, I am very aware - I hope there is a way to somehow address this in the future. Scanner wrote me, he is on Bluesky now, so with a bridge, you might still be able to follow hin there (look for "robinrimbaud") – and please don't hassle him about it, he has his hands full and SN's aren't his top priority 4 now.

Anyway: If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual
#music, tune in! 📻

I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)
