@kigmatzomat As I said upthread, this ruling isn't the dilver bullet that will open wide the floodgates. If anything, it is quite damning.

I don't know, I can kind of see it working eventually. Parkouring Bond!

Also with a Xerox, as well as stuff like a CD-Burner, the company is only providing the means to produce a copy, but the material copied is provided by the user. In the cases of Gen-AI, the system itself has the information to produce the infringing copy, which means it is storing some form of...

And many of these were bought after they had already pirated them which is one of the arguments given on the case still going on. Do you think Open AI and Google and Meta all bought copies to the works they used for training? (Contrast Adobe which has license to all material they used to train...

Which nobody has done n_n

Nobody, they'll just have to buy them and save the receipts in case they get sued. And this is going forward because all existing current infringement is already done.

Yes, basically providing a roadmap for future plaintiffs. It's almost as if this 'victory' -cause the case is still ongoing- will turn into ia Pyrrhic victory for AI.

Reading the actual court documents, this ruling isn't the great win the AI people wantsto think it is. The headline is this grandiose "LLM training is fair use!", but the actual ruling is way more nuanced and influenced by the American custom to disregard sweat-of-the-brow. Many of the books...

Spoiler Escaflowne

I thought it used d6s? I don't think any D&D variant can renounce the D20 and still be a D&D variant?

I was fearing someone had blocked me because I couldn't open any of their threads, then I noticed I couldn't even open them on a private tab. And well, I also noticed this. So I feel better now, but yeah it is still a bother not being able to open many threads.

Is OpenAI public? Only public companies can buy other companies through shares. And beyond that, OpenAI needs every penny to remain operational. It's costs are inmense. There's not enough to divert to other stuff like legal costs.

More like Gargantuan or Colossal amount n_n.

"We can have it better by removing these three classes and changing them for still having these three classes but worse."

Bamboo or aluminium, we need to save the tortoises.

And then sorcerers had to pay for everybody's sins.

I was isekai'd to a fantasy world and all I brought with me was a camera.

The spellbook might be a single element, but it is one with huge implications. It means spellcasting is a goal, something voluntary which needs constant work to keep going. It also makes magic something serious and for the learned. It means that education has to be accounted for in your...

You cannot properly merge wizard and sorcerer without losing one of them. Any merger is either erasing the sorcerer with extra steps, or a failure*. Unless you went truly generic like with the microlite20 mage but that is way more free-form than what D&D usually gets. * If at first level you...

At least with fighter it's fully justified. The class truly succeeds at portraying a generic "can be anything" warrior, or mostly at the beginning. Then we had the thief who started to erode at that identity early on. Magic user was always a lousy fit for the "any caster" theme; it has always...
