    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    No, I do not believe it is practically achievable for Wikipedia to be 100% accurate. But if a Wikipedia page is known to be accurate as of a certain date and it has not been edited since that date, it can be relied upon. Every response from an LLM AI needs to be double-checked every time. Also...

    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    You are comparing apples and oranges here. Large-scale fusion power is still a theoretical industry. Human editing/oversight of Wikipedia is a fact and is happening today. The question of the site's accuracy is simply a matter of how many people are brought to bear on the problem. That is the...

    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    Wikipedia could theoretically be 100% accurate. According to a study by OpenAI last fall, even when LLMs are trained on perfect data, hallucinations are mathematically inevitable, and that cannot be corrected. So there is an inherent limit to accuracy for LLM AI.

    D&D 5E (2014) Amazon US book sales rank.

    Has the 2024 PHB gotten a 2nd printing with errata yet?

    I know this is a plus thread, and I am really excited about this mission, but I had to share this:

    Spoilers The Pitt Season 2 Discussion

    Not necessarily. He could say (and could mean, despite the ominous foreshadowing) I meant "I am thinking of quitting the job."

    Today I learned +

    Thanks for the clarification. I was unfamiliar with that song. I may be missing some subtext of the song, but I don't see how the canary nightlight is not a good bird? To me (admittedly after only one listen), the song sounds pretty upbeat. What am I not getting?

    I know about canaries in coal mines, but I have no idea what this means. Anyone care to help clarify?

    Yes, the large drink is not your friend with a movie like this. 😉

    Trailer Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Season 1) trailer

    In 2000, the (then 3) Harry Potter books were very popular and there was great anticipation for the next book in the series. I worked in IT for a local public library so I had seen Harry Potter mania firsthand. I read the first three books and found them diverting and entertaining, but I...

    Bad news for Duncan Idaho

    As well as Star Wars (and a number of other sci-fi stories that involve cloning) which implies or outright states that you need the original donor cells on hand to make viable clones.

    Trailer Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Season 1) trailer

    Not to diminish your criticisms, but sometimes "chosen one" prophecies are self-fulfilling just by how others react to the prophecy and treat the chosen one. See also Oedipus Rex. And this is actually touched on in the books revealing that the chosen one could have been Neville instead, had...

    Indeed. AD&D's Unearthed Arcana had taught me what the Philosopher's Stone was... didn't everyone in the US get the memo? ;)

    Actually, it would explain a lot of what goes on in GoT... :ROFLMAO:

    OOTS 1341: Also Fully Biodegradable

    I know back in 2012 he severely injured the thumb of his drawing hand on a shard of broken glass. It cut tendons IIRC, and he needed surgery and was unable to draw for months. The first comic he did when he came back was a recap since it had been so long, and there is a reference to his injury...
