    California bill (AB 412) would effectively ban open-source generative AI

    What Are Your Non-Gaming Hobbies/Interests?

    Nice. I used to be into fast cars, even raced them, though as I said looking at a friend's new corvette recently, I think that would just get me a fat speeding ticket. The other day he told me he was ticketed for exceeding the speed limit by quite a bit. I was scanning the marketplace for fun...
