Important Cat Facts.

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

The Terrible Tower of Terror crumbled. "Thus ends an Era," the Elf said. "Aye," the Dwarf nodded. "I reckon the Age of Man begins now." "And our kin, old friend, and all magic, will fade." "Wait, what?" said the Human. "It is Fated." "Then I'll fight Fate." "You have my axe!" "And my bow!"

star wars adventure idea: after he publicly condemns the Emperor, the PCs must rescue spice-addled spaceship billionaire Kesum Nole from his 'secret fortress,' evading his own killer droids and an Imperial hit squad.

What an extraordinary, beautiful thing. Sometimes the only sensible response to scientific discovery is wonderment and awe.

#8964 is another reminder that democracy is precious and freedom is not free, we all need to all work together to preserve our democratic life even when Autocrat lurking over our shoulder offering "share future".

Okay, so, on the topic of "some conversations about openness are about a pipeline of sorts", quick thread. First off, the value Wotc hoped to gain by making D&D 3rd an 'open system' under the OGL was greater market capture. This was not secret; it was in the pitch, it's a known thing. 1/
