Thanks for posting this. I'd been idly contemplating the idea of something like Nightshade recently, but I hadn't gotten around to doing any research. I didn't know until I read the OP that Nightshade is already a thing. It's interesting to see someone's already exploring this idea. To be...

You may want to research Meta's privacy policy and terms of service. I'm not a lawyer, so I can't say for sure what the legalese means, but the last time I glanced at the ToS, I saw something about Meta claiming the right to use any user's Content "to conduct research" or something like that...

I bet you could do it in just thirty seconds with gen-AI. :P

I don't know what you mean by feeding input directly into a training program without creating a copy of it. I mean, I understand that input can be parsed and processed a few bits at a time without ever storing a full copy of the data, but sequentially parsing and storing every bit of data from a...

If you want an adventure hook that involves a specific feature of Mount Celestia, place something the PCs must retrieve on one of the higher layers of the plane. One can only reach a higher layer by traveling through all lower layers in sequence, and each passage between layers requires a...

This question wasn't addressed to me (I'm not necessarily on one "side" or the other in this debate), but I just wanted to go on record with this answer: I believe in the public domain as a fundamental human right. Once something has properly entered the public domain, I believe people have the...

My objection isn't that OpenAI read a bunch of data they scanned from the internet. If all they were doing was having their AI read the contents of their browser cache as it was being displayed in the browser window, I don't have any problem with that. I don't think it's possible for a copyright...

Okay, sure. I thought you were requesting plot hooks for adventures that would be thematically appropriate for a plane full of paladins and their gods. I guess I misunderstood.

Did OpenAI train ChatGPT using only the temporary files cached by their internet browsers? Or did they save all the copyrighted files they scraped onto a server; compile those otherwise unmodified works into an indexed training set; and then use that stored data as a commercial asset for one...

To find a certain pilgrimage site, travelers must blaze a trail through an uncharted wilderness, navigate the tunnels beneath an ancient temple, and solve a series of puzzles and riddles. Every leg of the journey is a metaphorical exploration of an important life lesson, chosen by the plane...

I'd say Arcadia is very alien. The sun is a rotating, hemispherical spotlight that never sets, and rivers inexplicably make perfect 90-degree turns. Plus, it's the only Outer Plane that's being slowly devoured by one of its neighbors, as hives of ant-people slowly drag it into Mechanus from...

I like to think of Hades as the Shadowfell of the Outer Planes. It's gloomy, soul-crushing, and creepy, with a bunch of miserable dead souls wandering about. (Edit: also, see Stormonu's comment about Ravenloft in the previous post. Great minds, and all that.) Hades is also the Harkonnen planet...

A few years ago, I started prep work on a long-term project in my spare time: I wanted to gather information from across my library of Forgotten Realms products and compile my notes into a single DMs Guild product. (Update: This was before Wizards of the Coast announced it would be releasing an...

It's cool that your father wrote the old sci-fi novel with that silly cover. No, not that old sci-fi novel, the other one with the same silly cover. No the other one. Look three shelves down, next to all the other old sci-fi novels with the exact same cover. It's the one with the alien planet...

I want all three in a gift set with a slipcase cover depicting Tiamat.

I like that the alt covers are muted shades of yellow, blue, and red. All three primary colors.

Which worlds, if you don't mind my asking?

The eyes, of course.

Seriously. What's with so many of the characters on these covers staring intently at things off to the side? The composition makes my eyes want to follow these characters' lines of sight, and then I'm left staring at whatever's sitting next to the book cover at the time.

Given the lack of dragons on this cover, the alt cover really needs to be Tiamat.
