    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    This bit really concerns me: Are we looking at the possibility that AI slop threatens to drown even the legal system just because it's too "embarrassing" to deal with? I'm envisioning bad actors exploiting an already creaky system in very detrimental ways.

    D&D General DMs, how do you handle 'split party' situations?

    I've usually just told the whole group, and don't worry about it too much. Most groups are pretty good about keeping PC knowledge separate from players, and even if they don't it's fine. I think people have more fun when everyone is listening to what happens to everyone else. (It's also less...

    Old shows that you enjoy?

    Heh, I just recently watched the old Kolchak TV series a few months ago. I'd never seen it, and never thought to watch it until @Ryujin, i think, mentioned it here several months ago. I'm currently slowly making my way through the 1970s Japanese TV series Zatoichi. A couple years ago, I...

    Realistic Combat that's Simple(ish)

    Barbarians of Lemuria, etc, uses a 2d6 attack roll plus attack skill (eg, Melee or Ranged) minus the opponent's Defense skill versus a constant target number, 9. Armor subtracts from damage, ie, soak.

    Raiding old western films for a short campaign arc.

    3:10 to Yuma (both movies) is a pretty good story about transporting a prisoner from a little local jail to his trial several days' ride away while his gang tries to rescue him, along with a little twist that makes it a bit more than just "fend off the people trying to take our prisoner." I...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I've adapted well to my unsightly ear hairs, and use mine like a cat's whiskers whenever I need to shove my head into small spaces.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Back in high school, i had a friend whose big sister got a boob job. Not long after, he and I were out in his backyard when this sister decided to use their trampoline. The phrase that still haunts me is, "Ow! Ow! They're going everywhere!"

    Reaction Emojis currently limited to Thumbs Up?

    I'm seeing the same thing. In fact, I'm not seeing any pop-ups at all, such as when I mouse over a user name.

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    The intersection of AI and law is a perfectly cromulent topic for the Geek Talk forum.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Funny how often someone who's "just asking questions" is so rarely looking for actual answers.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Yeah, I'm always a little distressed when I learn that someone I think of as a "kid" has kids in high school.

    Tomb Raider RPG Cancelled For Creative Differences

    I haven't played it since the 80's, but I think you could only play one of the movie characters, and published adventures told you which characters were available for that scenario. I don't recall any character generation rules, though maybe there was a supplement we didn't have. We didn't play...

    Three hours in ER today with my dad. He's fine, but there are better ways to spend a Saturday afternoon.
