No, I'm not missing his point. I don't know how to communicate more clearly that I understood his point (which isn't even a complicated enough one that it would be reasonable to accuse someone of not getting) or that what I'm taking away is not what he intended to say, considering I explicitly...

Like I said, I understand it's a personal exploration of his feelings, so the things that are off putting to me aren't intended. I don't even disagree with most of what he says here. It's just, for me, very difficult to separate the fact that his core struggle with AI is that it denies people...

I am a pretty anti AI art person, so I'm primed to agree with him, but my overall reaction to this speech is negative. I recognize this was mostly about his personal introspection, and not a fleshed out argument, but there's something about the way he invokes John Henry here, and how be...

This has always been my issue with it. It's fine to define a word a certain way in an academic framework but trying to remove that framework and force it into the real world, especially when that word is already being used colloquially, is usually not going to work.

Just thinking things and moving on from them is, imo, a great skill that people my age and younger were disinclined to learn growing up with social media. I am...I won't say I'm doing a lot better as I've rediscovered the ability but it has made a noticeable difference in my moods.

I would bet quite a lot of money that the author of this little comic from the 80s wasn't thinking about old english while writing it.

Ah, no, the author was just very inconsistent with the were prefix. He was a vampire who was bitten by a "were-woman" (who was already a woman outside of the moon light), who turns into a bat/wolf thing in the full moon.

Coincidentally, I just read a (not very good) comic about this.

My players have now basically resolved all the side quests in Act 2 of the Delian Tomb, and have had a third character die. I'm pretty sure the fact that I was having to run one player's character is the only reason there wasn't a TPK, keeping track of the Tactician's stuff was enough...

Every time I post outside of this topic I regret it.

It's sort of like the scene from the first episode to me, in that it isn't offensive so much as dumb and unnecessary.

I've seen too many of my friends' posts on social media to believe the comforting lie that anyone behaving ridiculously is a bot.

This particular incident sticks out in my mind mostly because the person who was arguing that burden of proof was outdated....had earlier actually linked to something that had evidence of their claim. But because they hadn't actually read it, they didn't know that. And in this entire (very...

I've actually seen people argue that burden of proof is an outdated concept and that if you say someone isn't providing any evidence, it's on you to prove that they're not.
