He can believe and say whatever, but no one is going to want an impossible to curate, impossible to QA open world of AI slop with no artistic intention.

genAI NPCS are shit for many reasons but also: NPCs with one or two lines of dialog clearly communicate to the player that this character cannot help you progress. We don't just choose not to include thousands of lines for NPCs because we're lazy or lack resources. It's bad design.

Just purchased 6 new books in the hopes that it will reignite my motivation to read them. Will this work? Odds are mixed. But at least I will have the option of doing so!

This is awful. Years of hard, heartfelt work all thrown away for the sake of corporate greed. Cliffhanger Games deserves better.

Worth noting that this is also what the UK government review found, it just ignored all the evidence in its conclusions.

Prime Video canceled The Wheel of Time after season three, but fan efforts to save the series are in full force.

This weekend, we almost had a player death for the first time in our campaign. Vampire boss knocks the sorcerer out. Sorc fails her first death save, and at the end of her turn, he has a legendary action to try to finish her off. But... our sorcerer is a Wild Magic Sorcerer.

Absolutely gutted about WOT being cancelled. Hands down the best fantasy show on TV right now and my favorite fantasy TV show of all time, adapting a series I have loved since I was 11 years old, and now it's just... over. With so much story left to tell.

It's not lost on me that the female-focused fantasy series is the one that's suddenly "too expensive" for the streamer that spent hundreds of millions for Citadel to flop historically.

The struggle to recover from my back injury over Christmas has had a lot of ups and downs, but none more humiliating than SNEEZING this morning and my whole back locking up to the point where it was like 3 months ago 😭😭😭

There are just a few days left to get in on this Kickstarter, and in these trying industry times, I'd really love to see them get the support they're looking for! Toss the team a few coins if you can and if "exorcism deckbuilder roguelite" sounds like the kind of game you need to see in the world. 😈

tbh it’s just kind of disheartening to see people who ostensibly have good politics around labour just… use genAI ‘oh but it’s just for X’, ‘i’d pay someone but I can’t really afford it’, ‘it’s just this one time’ and in the end it really comes down to ‘I don’t actually value creative labour’

Was on a call with an academic about this recently—AI breaches the trust with the audience. The audience is here because of a process that lets us fully explain how we got from A to Z with every word in a story. Break that chain of knowledge, break that trust, break the truth, break your business.

I have 3 types of TTRPG characters: - Sad sad girl - Silly little guy who is a bunch of bits in a trenchcoat - Party girl (but she's secretly a little sad too)

The most boring gen AI argument is the one that goes “well I was going to have ethics but I want to be COMPETITIVE.” What is the groundbreaking concept here? “Get in loser, we’re racing to the bottom!”

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

I'm not making arguments anymore. if you use the Plagiarism Machine That Lies to think for you, I think you're a little worm person. A sad little worm person and am uninterested in your "thoughts" on anything else.

I have a large enough tea collection that I've started pairing my morning cup of tea with whatever writing I'm doing first thing in the day. Romance scene? Pick a tea that suits the character's romantic arc! Dramatic scene? Choose your flavor of drama! 10/10 would recommend 🍵

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Wow. The judge's words as he freed Mohsen Mahdawi: –Yes, Mohsen is seen as a peaceful figure—but he has rights even if he were a "firebrand." – People are being targeted like the Red Scare & McCarthyism. “The wheel of history has come around again, but as before these times of excess will pass."

i have no idea how widespread this is, but, man, there sure seems to be kind of a growing crisis of gullibility and credulousness in the world, both online and IRL, but especially online.
