全米脚本家ギルドとスタジオで交わすMBA(Minimum Basic Agreement)の覚書が公開されてますね。
気になるAI関係の条項は4項。
- AI生成物をもって脚本家に代わることはできないし、脚本家の権利の全部または一部を侵害することもできない。
- 脚本家はスタジオの同意のもとでAIを利用できるが、スタジオはAIの利用を強制できない
- スタジオが脚本家に渡す資料がAIの寄与したものである場合は明示しなければならない
- ギルドは引き続き、トレーニングのために脚本家の素材を利用することを禁じよと主張できる。
脚本家側が大きく獲得したように見えますね。

Summary of the 2023 WGA MBA
The following is a summary of the deal terms for the 2023 MBA. It is a simplified version of the Memorandum of Agreement (“MOA”), which contains the full text of the new provisions.

Really enjoying how building things with Kitten just feels so elegant…
Here, there’s a model class (that manages all aspects of Kitten’s version information) and you can use the `Component` getter to get a Kitten component you can add to your page to display the version information.
For a separate view, you can call the `printToConsole()` method to have it output the same information to the console.
Not revolutionary or rocket science but still, pretty neat ;)

🚀 #sdfCAD v0.3.0 makes rotate_stretch() much more powerful 💪
Along the sweep, one can now (all with a customizable easing function):
- thicken=... along the way
- shear=... along the rotation axis
- fling=... away/towards the rotation axis
Furthermore, easings can now be .mirror()ed at arbitrary x/y lines.
