S5 E164 Machinima News Omnibus (Jan 2025)

Whilst January's news begins with more of the same ole #genAIs doing their thang, because they can, there's now evidence of more concerted effort to control the efforts of creators... because the corporates and policymakers can at least try to do that, right? Well, maybe, but all this has achieved in the past is even more creative energy invested in jumping through the hoops, clambering over the walls and crashing through the hedges - so Happy New Year, we're looking forward to seeing what the amazing #machinima creative communities of all engine persuasions around the World can achieve in 2025! Plus, we discuss #iClone's new update, a couple of interesting creative projects celebrating content creators in their own ways, as well as interesting milestones.
