Stop Killing Games is an European Citizens Initiative aiming to keep games playable even after their developers and publishers have stopped supporting it.

To get the initiative onto the EUs agenda so it has the chance to become EU law, it has to both reach 1 million signatures total and minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries. Ireland has just passed its threshold, becoming the seventh country to do so.

Even if you are from a country that already reached the threshold you can still sign. Your signature counts to the 1 million goal.

FAQ

I'm not from the EU, is there anything I can do to help?A UK petition is (as far as I know) still in the works. The initiative is also in the process of starting a possible lawsuit against Ubisoft in Brazil. If you are Brazilian and own a copy of The Crew please contact the organisers. All information can be found on the official website

I have already signed. Is there anything else I can do?In short: Keep talking about the initiative. We have come so far with next to no marketing. And if you want to do even more, the official website has flyers to download. Our ground game is relatively weak at the moment. Feel free to have some flyers printed and then hand them out.

Any other European Peoples Initiatives worth supporting?Here is a initiative that aims to ban conversion therapy. Here is one that aims to ensure safe and legal access to abortions for all who need it.

Thank you to everyone who already took action

France was among the first states that announced they would uphold the court's decision, although officials have not explicitly said they would arrest Netanyahu.

However, the ministry on Wednesday alleged that Netanyahu is covered by immunity as a sitting head of government because Israel is not a member of the ICC. It is the first time a member of the court has argued this in Netanyahu's case.

France's argument was previously used by states that refused to arrest Russia's Vladimir Putin and Omar al-Bashir of Sudan. But the court has consistently rejected those arguments as unfounded.

Die Ampel hat Hoffnung gemacht auf eine liberalere Drogenpolitik – und schon lange enttäuscht. Was nun aber droht, ist ein Backlash mit Todesfolge.

When digging a pit, one way to prevent the walls from collapsing inward under pressure is to make them less steep, so they slant outward like the sides of a cone. A good rule of thumb is to make the hole three times wider than its depth.

[...]

Suppose you were to try digging through the Earth, and that the planet was all solid. (We know that it’s not, but this is the simplest scenario.) The depth of a hole all the way through the planet would be equivalent to Earth’s diameter, which is just a name for a line that passes straight through the center of a circle. So your hole would need to be about three times as wide as the diameter of the Earth in order for it to be stable.

Clearly, this is an impossible task that would completely alter the planet’s shape.

spoilerA painting by an AI robot of the eminent World War Two codebreaker Alan Turing has sold for $1,084,800 (£836,667) at auction.

Sotheby's said there were 27 bids for the digital art sale of "A.I. God", which had been originally estimated to sell for between $120,000 (£90,252) and $180,000 (£139,000).

Mathematician Turing was a pioneer of computer science and known as the father of artificial intelligence (AI).

The auction house said the historic sale "launches a new frontier in the global art market, establishing the auction benchmark for an artwork by a humanoid robot".

It added the work by Ai-Da Robot is "the first humanoid robot artist to have an artwork sold at auction."

The work is a large scale original portrait of Turing, who studied at King's College, Cambridge.

The scientist played a crucial role in the Allies' victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two by helping to crack codes and deciphering the infamous Enigma machine at Bletchley Park.

After the war he produced a detailed design for a digital computer in the modern sense.

Sotheby's said the online sale, which ended at 19:00 GMT on Thursday, was bought by an undisclosed buyer for a price "far outstripping the artwork’s estimate price".

The auction house said the sale price for the first artwork by a humanoid robot artist "marks a moment in the history of modern and contemporary art and reflects the growing intersection between A.I. technology and the global art market".

Ai-Da Robot, which uses an advanced AI language model to speak, said: "The key value of my work is its capacity to serve as a catalyst for dialogue about emerging technologies."

The work "invites viewers to reflect on the god-like nature of AI and computing while considering the ethical and societal implications of these advancements", the robot said.

"Alan Turing recognised this potential, and stares at us, as we race towards this future." Ai-Da Robot Studios Ai-Da Robot, an AI robot, standing in front of several works of art.

Aidan Meller, director of the Ai-Da Robot Studios, said: "This auction is an important moment for the visual arts, where Ai-Da’s artwork brings focus on artworld and societal changes, as we grapple with the rising age of AI.

"The artwork 'AI God' raises questions about agency, as AI gains more power."
