The Twitch Adpocalypse is here, with streamers reporting their income has suddenly declined by as much as 95% as the house of cards burns down, falls over, and sinks into the swamp.
I don't have a link to a good story covering this yet, because the written articles are useless and the video coverage is obnoxious. Twitch was offering absurdly favourable pay scales to its preferred coterie of lunatics and ethots, and the advertisers got fed up with the crap their ads were shown against and left.
Jeff Bezos has a bad habit of buying companies and leaving them to be destroyed by lunatics.

Are software developers gaining from the miracle of generative AI? No.
cio.com/article/3540579/devs-gaining-little-if-anything-from-ai-coding-assistants.html
Productivity has not improved, bugs have not been reduced, and developer burnout is as bad as ever.
If anything, unfamiliar AI-generated code is making the situation worse.

Wikipedia really seems to have fucked the goat this time.

Letting some tranny downplay over a thousand documented cases of child sexual abuse that have led to the arrest and conviction of 36 people so far really says a lot. Then again the tranny probably is part of a grooming gang xemselves.

An 81 year old Montana man has been sentenced to six months in prison and three years probation, and ordered to pay $24,000 after he used cloning and bred a race of giant sheep.
abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/montana-man-sentenced-cloning-giant-sheep-breed-large-114341117
He used genes from the Marco Polo variety of sheep found in central Asia, which weigh up to 300 pounds and have horns up to five feet long. The then crossed these with existing Bighorn sheep to create an even larger hybrid population he called the Montana Mountain King.
Everyone needs a hobby I guess.
As for the giant sheep, they've been ordered to be killed and their meat donated to create a race of giant pigs.

Trust me, Disney. I *promise* that if you brought back one of your lowest viewed shows on Disney Plus. Then suddenly everyone would start watching it! And you’d make a morbillion dollars!

Previously I poasted that Concord cost around $200 million to develop, that is wrong as it reportedly cost a total of $400 million to develop.
playstationlifestyle.net/2024/09/20/concord-budget-400-million-toxic-positivity-report/
This is the game that Sony shut down less than two weeks after launch, at which point it had around 100 players.
Total. Worldwide.
Insiders have said that the game had already cost $200 million to develop by the start of 2023, at which point it was in a "laughable state". Sony spent another $200 million getting additional studios to clean it up and create pre-rendered content.
That part seems to have worked because the problem when it launched last month was not bugs - it appeared to be technically competent - but that the game was ugly and boring.
And that part was because nobody was permitted to offer any criticism, for the entire eight years it was in development, what the article calls "toxic positivity". No-one was permitted to speak out, and no-one dared to blow the whistle because they were dealing with the kind of people who would follow them to their next job just to libel them to HR.

As mentioned yesterday, Nintendo and the Pokemon Company have filed suite against Palworld developer Pocketpair over patent violation.

The question remaining is, what patent?
Nintendo has somehow forgotten to include that information in the legal filings.

Elon Musk's reposts of Kamala Harris AI parodies may not fly under California's new law banning Elon Musk from reposting Kamala Harris AI parodies.
techcrunch.com/2024/09/19/elon-musks-reposts-of-kamala-harris-deepfakes-may-not-fly-under-new-california-law/
The creator of said Kamala Harris AI parody is suing California over this law banning the creation of Kamala Harris AI parodies, noting that the law not only violates the First and Fourteenth Amendments, but rapes it and then makes it drive to McDonalds to buy it a food.
politico.com/news/2024/09/18/california-deepfake-ban-lawsuit-harris-00179975
>Newsom spokesperson Izzy Gardon said in a statement that Kohls had already labeled the post as a parody on X.
>"Requiring them to use the word "parody" on the actual video avoids further misleading the public as the video is shared across the platform," Gardon said. "It's unclear why this conservative activist is suing California. This new disclosure law for election misinformation isn't any more onerous than laws already passed in other states, including Alabama."
At time of writing, there are zero social networks headquartered in Alabama. Not even poa.st is headquartered in Alabama. I can not even find one Mastodon instance based in Alabama and I tried poa.st, how did I try.

It is on.
Nintendo and the Pokemon Company are officially suing Palworld creator Pocketpair.
wccftech.com/nintendo-is-officially-suing-pocketpair-creators-of-palworld/
At issue is the idea of catching and training weird animals, that Nintendo asserts it stole fair and square from DragonQuest.
Japanese patent law is a bit weird and unlike western patents, so whether they have a case or not is uncertain. One major problem for Nintendo is that Pocketpair now has a billion dollars to fund its defense.
