    Disney sues Midjourney

    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...

    Disney sues Midjourney

    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 sues Midjourney

    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...

    Judge Rules That AI Training Doesn't Violate Copyright

    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...

    Campaigns in a nutshell. Adventures in a sentence.

    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

    Trailer Spaceballs 2: Not the Quest for More Money

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

    Campaigns in a nutshell. Adventures in a sentence.

    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...

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    Been playing Deck of Haunts, a combination deckbuilder/basebuilder game where you play as a haunted house and do haunted house stuff to people who enter to investigate It's really good. My only minor gripe is that there's no ability to let you turn the investigators against each other, even...

    Blood Is Life by Miss Anthropy. (Sort of. The vibe is more seduction and sex than romance. But that's adjacent.)
