Games Workshop, the owner and operator of a number of hugely popular tabletop war games, including Warhammer 40,000 and Age of Sigmar, has banned the use of generative AI in its content and design processes. IGN reports: Delivering the UK company's impressive financial results, CEO Kevin Rountree addressed the issue of AI and how Games Workshop is handling it. He said GW staff are barred from using it to actually produce anything, but admitted a "few" senior managers are experimenting with it. Rountree said AI was "a very broad topic and to be honest I'm not an expert on it," then went on to lay down the company line: "We do have a few senior managers that are [experts on AI]: none are that excited about it yet. We have agreed an internal policy to guide us all, which is currently very cautious e.g. we do not allow AI generated content or AI to be used in our design processes or its unauthorized use outside of GW including in any of our competitions. We also have to monitor and protect ourselves from a data compliance, security and governance perspective, the AI or machine learning engines seem to be automatically included on our phones or laptops whether we like it or not. We are allowing those few senior managers to continue to be inquisitive about the technology. We have also agreed we will be maintaining a strong commitment to protect our intellectual property and respect our human creators. In the period reported, we continued to invest in our Warhammer Studio -- hiring more creatives in multiple disciplines from concepting and art to writing and sculpting. Talented and passionate individuals that make Warhammer the rich, evocative IP that our hobbyists and we all love."

The UK government has awarded guaranteed electricity prices to offshore wind projects totaling 8.4 GW in a bid to revive wind development, attract nearly $30 billion in private investment, and stabilize energy costs. The New York Times reports: On Wednesday, the British government said that it would provide guaranteed electricity prices for a group of wind farms off England, Scotland and Wales that would, once built, provide power for 12 million homes. The 8.4 gigawatts, a power capacity measure, that won support is the largest amount that has been achieved in an auction in Britain. The government said that these wind farms could lead to 22 billion pounds, or almost $30 billion, in private investment. The government holds regular auctions, roughly on an annual basis. Results have been improving after a failed auction in 2023 that produced no bids from developers. The government almost doubled its original budget for the recent auction to about 1.8 billion pounds per year. To encourage renewable energy sources like offshore wind, Britain offers a price floor to provide certainty for investors. The average floor, or strike price, from the auction on Wednesday was about 91 pounds, or $122 per megawatt-hour, in 2024 prices, up about 11 percent from the last auction. Over the past year the wholesale price for electricity in Britain was on average about 79 pounds, according to Drax Electric Insights, a market analysis website. The bulk of the planned wind farms that won price supports will be off eastern England. Support will also go to wind farms off Scotland and Wales. The British government wants at least 95 percent of the country's electricity generation to come from clean sources by 2030. Political consensus for ambitious climate goals is eroding in Britain, but the government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer believes that an enormous bet on clean energy, especially offshore wind, is necessary to protect consumers from volatile fossil fuel prices.
