Yes. There are people in the industry in this thread. Argument from authority and all that, but if you read security breakdowns instead of marketing hype you'll find the same information.

Lego Beyond? :3

Setting aside my overall opinions, it would be a handy move if they made one of those Lego games with D&D branding.

LLMs do not function in a way resembling humans. There are some vague apparent similarities to how people without strong language skills will cobble together words they don't understand, but the same techniques can be done using blocks of wood.

We all carry video cameras in our pockets and live in surveillance states.

Meanwhile I'm building a nagaji swashbuckler who will be using Smoke Balls, a Goz Mask, and Bioluminescent Stripes to utterly abuse the nagaji gaze abilities while using swashbuckler's decent stealth to play ultimate peek-a-boo.

Newton functions to a given level. If you go below that level, Newton ceases to work. It's like measuring an apple by number vs. measuring apples by mass - if you're just trying to chuck apples, the number is fine, if you're trying to build an industrial process you need to know more.

YouTube and other online video providers scrape videos they host. To protect art from scraping you have to keep it locked away from the world entirely.

We can already all publish adventures. Whether we can create them is a different matter. Whether am LLM can generate one is an additional matter.

Unfortunately, our civilization is much more focused on novelty than quality. Steady careers increasingly revolve around constantly finding new things to do more than doing one thing very well.

Fair. The specs needed to run locally have proven to be low enough that a gaming PC is more than enough.

A good chunk of audiences enjoy a bit of cringe. The Critical Role animation is certainly full of it, Legends of Avantris has cringe as a foundation, etc.

AI being unethically sourced, AI being bad for artists, AI being bad for art as a cultural element, and AI being bad for demotivating people from personal growth are certainly all related, but the topics do become over-jumbled. I feel there would be a lot more nuance available if the core of it...

The gratitude of a novice archer and the respect of veteran bowyer.

Make the environment matter - make it worth trying something new and engaging with the specific battlefield and scenario. Boredom happens when combat becomes a generic routine with the battle map being, at most, a collection of soft or hard barriers. Provide alternate win conditions. "Pull the...

Indeed, science is intended to be approached with humility. Without humility there is doctrine which cannot be questioned, which is the antithesis of science.

Last I checked, Millenials are Killing entire categories of products, so I am not planning to just give in to what corporations want me to do. I've boycotted certain corps for longer than some 5E players have been alive.

Modern STEM heavily relies on using past expert research and development to allow people to perform tasks with the least amount of possible knowledge. This makes it cheaper and easier to get into a field, but also lowers the average skill set of that field because there's less pushing people to...

I didn't say "it should be legally forbidden", I said it was a shoddy enough technology that it's going to keep me well-employed as it ravages the internet. I am trying very hard to stay on the topic, which is "Would you buy WotC products produced or enhanced with AI?" I would not.

If you misuse computers you can have your right to use the internet taken away and be thrown in jail etc. etc. You're asking a really bad whataboutism. Making RPGs easier to run for a subset of the gaming population is also not comparable to things like curing cancer or powering global...
