    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    There's a few different directions but probably not mutually exclusive directions. Kind of, but I think you have that backwards. If I accurately understand what narrativist is then I can explain why my play either is or isn't narrativist and where specifically it diverges. I don't want you to...

    Good! It’s a matter of opinion is a good starting point. So? Does that justify ignoring the 2am version vs the 5pm version vs the undetermined entry time version and that those you are responding to have different opinions about those different versions and yet you know this and still insist...

    Taking the what should be the equally true contrapositive makes it more clear I think. ‘If you use fail forward you should have an agenda as the GM to make characters lives not boring.’ From a purely logic perspective I don’t have a problem with that statement. Humans sometimes add baggage...

    IMO. Disney in this instance is behaving ethically. Until the decision is final they should be defending their interests and the ‘whales’ as you put it are the only real threat to their interests at the moment.

    Disney sues Midjourney

    I think either photocopier or artist analogy could work. For the artist analogy it’s just not clear the ai should be treated as a separate entity like a separate artist instead of as a tool to make anyone into an artist. It’s also not clear that it shouldn’t be treated as a separate artist...

    if one is engaging with ‘what happens if it’s [creating an ai from copyrighted material] deemed fair use’ then the answer isn’t ’assume It isn’t deemed fair use’. And I’m not attempting to convince that it ‘should’ be anything. I’m just suggesting that’s a real possibility to consider.

    I agree. Most anything is still possible. I’m just saying it seems this possibility or something similar is being discounted far too quickly.

    Not sure what that has to do with anything. The whole premise is that using those copyrighted works to make an ai will be counted as fair use. In a discussion with that assumption then theres a notable difference between xerox that doesn’t have such fair use claim and an ai that does.

    Umm… that’s not what makes something diegetic? When their given reasons aren’t listened to at all I can see how one could stick with that preconceived idea.

    Me too. Though it might be worse when others accuse of bad logic when it isn’t ;)

    I just explained that. Actually twice now. Seems simple enough. If Collecting the material and using it to create an AI is deemed fair use then that places no further obligation on them to enforce how others use the ai. This is the ai is a tool philosophy.

    Show why that’s a necessity in this scenario. Else it’s just wishful thinking.

    Doesn’t matter if AI doing that portion is deemed Fair Use due to the transformative value.

    The precise line is going to vary by person. There’s also additional context of it not just being a single cook in a single kitchen over 20 hours of gaming. Complications like that are presumably much more common. Though we can’t even get to an idea of how common they are when their existence...

    I think it’s an important component. By no means is it everything or even the most important component.

    I mean that you are justifying it by saying the cook might be a midnight shaker shows its relative implausibility.

    It doesn’t make sense and is not true. I already pointed to one alternative deterrent, by holding end users accountable for produced copyrighted works that will incentivize end users to not use ai’s that produce copyrighted works, essentially lowering the demand, making them less profitable...

    D&D's New Solo Player Guideline Explained

    As long as combat isn’t a major part of the adventures this should be okay. Wouldn’t work well with lots If combat though.

    At 2am having a cook in the kitchen wouldn’t be diegetic. But we’ve covered that before. Only certain cook scenarios aren’t diegetic. These surprisingly line up fairly well with what actions the GM and player principles of narrativist games allow vs rule out. It’s why so much posting centered on...

    By quantum do you mean the roll fixes not just the present situation but also the past situation? Like I don’t view an attack roll as the same because it only effects the present. I’m sure there’s more as well, but this might be a good starting point.
