I still don't buy it. Two mortal enemies travel through time seems like pretty generic sci-fi. Even if you add the stipulation that one of them saves someone from the time they land in. Plus the Ellison work doesn't seem to include any of the core elements of Terminator, such as robots...

Follow the Money - Toon adventure where the characters are detectives tailing an anthropomorphic bag of money Skank Island - Competitive Toon game where the PCs are contestants on a dating reality show. The one who does the most backstabbing and creates the most nonsensical drama wins the...

*The Swelling (by Davic Coyners) *Who Goes There (by John W Campbell) *The Repairer of Reputations (by Robert W Chambers) *The Sorrow of Search (by Lord Dunsany) *Haita the Shepherd (by Ambrose Bierce) *Fable of the Dragon Tyrant (by Nick Bostrom)

I also recommend "Goliath" by Neil Gaiman

While I've never read Soldier of Tomorrow, the plot synopsis that I was able to look up doesn't sound like it has anything to do with Terminator at all. Maybe the summary is leaving a lot out, but the only thing it seems to have in common with The Terminator based on the synopsis is that a...

I'm pretty sure this could already be seen by people missing either the red or the blue cones in their eyes

Homer already is a millennial. His age stats constant regardless of what season the show is in. The only characters whose ages kind of don't stay constant are Grandpa Simpson and Principal Skinner, who both were in specific wars as a significant part of their backstory

There's gotta be some WWII ones with at least submarine rules in the core book

My experience is the reverse. I've seen multiple small time artists get persecuted for drawing art of things like pokemon. Cultural touchstones like that really ought to be open to everyone, but alas our shared culture is owned - in a legally binding sense - by large corporations. People should...

I'd love to do this but I don't have the technical expertise nor a good enough computer to run anything more advanced than GPT-2. I can run GPT-2 locally thanks to some scripts that one of the guys on GitP helped me put together,, but even that just chugs along and I have to run the smallest...

Novel AI is $10 per month and Artbreeder is $7.49 per month, which totaled together is less than the price of one commission, which from what I've seen seem to start at around $20 for a single image. And there's no world where I'm paying $20 for a single image even if AI goes away. I could get...

If copyright's duration had never been extended from its original duration the public domain would extend well into cable tv and most of early Youtube by now

How is artificially inflating the price and eliminating competition fair? That sounds almost as bad as where we are now. While we're at it, how could having to pay ANYTHING AT ALL for something that otherwise anyone could get for free ever possibly be fair or just? My ideal scenario for this...

I think following a virtual cult leader would be healthier and safer than following a real one. The AI cult leader isn;t going to steal all your money; at worst it might send you down a Winchester-esque rabbithole of spending money on superstitious nonsense, but it won't outright swindle you...

Most of the stuff that's copyrighted now should be public domain but the big media companies keep bribing congress to extend the duration of copyrights. If it lasted a reasonable amount of time like patents do I'd be with you, but not under the farcical current laws where copyrights can easily...

Yeah that could drive the price up so high it could become as overpriced as human writers and artists, completely completing the cost-cutting benefit of this technology and making bespoke writing and artwork once again the exclusive purview of the rich elite who can afford to throw their money...

So the only thing this will accomplish is screwing over the common man. That is the one and only difference it will make. Why would you want to take something that could be a boon to everyone and turn it into something that only benefits the 1%?

This seems about right for spiritualist kooks. I mean, it's literally automatic writing.

I agree. I think it would be more likely to destroy your ability to enjoy the thing than it would be to make the job enjoyable
