If it barks like a puppy, whines like a puppy, craps on the rug like a puppy, and pisses everywhere like a puppy…it’s definitely a puppy.

Mystic Arts is great. I only recently came across their channel.

I’m reading Your Brain’s Not Broken by Tamara Rosier, PhD. She’s a psychologist with ADHD and the book is about ADHD, stories about her ADHD clients and their collective strategies, anecdotes, etc. It’s a great read so far. Lots of insights and useful advice. Definitely recommend for both people...

Or that there was some meaningful way to enforce them. My kid has ADHD just like me and we went through all the trouble of meetings with staff and all the paperwork. Hour after hour of boring-ass meetings. Great stuff for an adult and a kid with ADHD, by the way. It’s like the system is designed...

I think it's more relevant than the same old three arguments running constantly in the background of all “AI” threads. I think about it a lot as well. Exactly. It's highly philosophical, but I think it's a fundamental question that needs to at least be addressed before we can resolve anything...

You mean you willingly climb aboard the giant metal tube that flies through the air when you know it was both built and maintained by the lowest bidder?

Yes, “AI” art utterly devalues the humans who create art and it's utterly unethical and illegal how the current models treat them. My point was only that art is in the eye of the beholder just as much if not more than in the act of creation. Viewing something and judging it to be "art" is most...

Weirdly, I agree with you, but I don't think that's limited to one side of the experience. It's necessary, we think, in the act of creation. But it's also absolutely necessary in the act of consuming art. It's true that humans make art, yes. But we have historically placed that moment in only...

Exactly. Old things still exist and are still usable. I know people obsessed with the newest shiniest object all the time cannot comprehend using something that's not the latest model, but until all the old non-“AI” objects are destroyed, people can still get by in life without “AI” in everything.

Well, not with an attitude like that.

Exactly. The notion that's it's in everything and there's zero way to avoid it is nonsense.

Exactly. The answer is not having the necessities of life locked behind a paywall.

What appeal to empathy can you make that those who lack empathy will understand? None. People who lack empathy will not even begin to understand until they are personally affected by something. And even then it's only that they were personally affected because something about the lack of...

She has some fantastic videos.

I've liked a few of Griff's videos over on the Informal Game YouTube channel. He's one of the people behind the Secrets of Blackmoor documentary.

Yeah. Same for me. San Citlán is great. I want a whole setting of that.

Exactly. Yet another absurd variation of the same easily disproven nonsense we’ve had to fight off in every geek-nerd subculture for the last 15-20 years now.

You missed the bit where I mentioned 5E. I’m specifically talking about everyone repackaging domain-level play, 4E monster design, all the crunchier bits of 3X and 4E, abandoned classes, etc and selling it to new-to-RPGs-with-5E referees and players as if it were some shiny new idea or the next...

To be fair, that’s what most D&D 5E 3PP are doing. Repackaging older editions of D&D content as the next great new thing and selling it to gamers who don’t know any better.
