My job is crap. Both of my jobs. If I get replaced by a machine I'll find another crap job Frankly I'm astonished that my main job hasn't been replaced by a robot already, because for seven years my main duty was to retrieve bottles from alphanumerically coded shelves, and that's exactly the...

You're assuming your conclusion. Without IP law nobody owns the AIs. The hypocrisy is indeed unfortunate This I can work with. I suppose that reverting it to its original length and scope would be acceptable to me. Although I don't know if I could trust it not to get out of control again. A...

And pursuing a greater reach impacts artistic value how? Because I can only think of negatives. The wider an audience that one seeks, the more generic and bowdlerized one needs to make one's work. A work that a handful of people love is better than one that everyone on Earth agrees is ok. And...

Personally I like to lump Marx together with his supposed opposites. Whether it's an obsession with workers or an obsession with corporate profits it's still an obsession with the supply side of the economy, and the conceit that the supply side of the econony has value independent of the demand...

More importantly before the internet that's what happened. Copyright is the only thing keeping the businesses that copyright was supposed to protect people from on life support. The same goes for your worries about AI. How woukd they keep a monopoly of their program when anyone with basic...

Which faction do you most closely identify with? For me it would probably be the Hands of Havoc, followed by the Xaositects, and the Bleak Cabal

Disney is a bottomless pit of regulatory capturing copyright trolls and the world would be better off without them, without Universal Studios, without any othernprofitable movie studio or publisher, and most importantly without copyright law. I hope that AI steamrolls over Disney and over every...

Thank god. Good sense prevails. That it was a transformative use was blatantly obvious to me (and to anyone else who didn't have a vested interest in this technology failing) from the start. It's nice to see that reason won the day over luddism, superstition, and slander. I just wish that we...

Overbooked - A troublemaking deity has promised several different groups exclusive control of a certain patch of land. Now there's a war on. The PCs must expose the deception and end the war.

That's the Sidereal Exalted

The Charlatan- Non-combat antagonist who really does have magic powers but claims to have DIFFERENT magic powers. Like he claims to turn lead into gold but really he's just teleporting the lead away and teleporting gold in in its place

Personally I think History of the World Part 2 was pretty good, the problem was it had a completely different tone than the film

On a similar note, apparently Spaceballs 2 is coming out in '27

Recently started rereading Lords and Ladies and was reminded that in Discworldit's MAGNETIC iron that causes special harm to elves/fairies

Worn Out Words-I had a fever dream back in 2021 that might make a good adventure or campaign for one of the more mythical RPGs such as Exalted or Nobilis. In short, the words of the world's languages are getting worn out and used up. Someone needs to go on a quest to bring back new words or else...

I'd love to see a sequel to Dungeons of Dredmor. Preferably one with a largwr or unlimited inventory so that the late game doesn't turn into clean the attic: the game, as was the achilles heel of the original

3d, in all of its incarnations, is more of a gimmick than a technology

Science fantasy cross between Master of Orion 2 and Master of Magic 1 with both a tech tree and magic

It's not really recent at this point but Escaflowne was good
