If your going to mess around with celestial objects, the gods are almost certainly going to step in (unless they want it to happen for some reason). Likely a more limited wish that will get you the core results, lets say that an epic monster can only be killed under the light of an eclipse. I...

This is not true. The current generative AIs are already doing incredible work. Someone mentioned the protein folding scenario, using AIs to effectively determine the structure of nearly every protein in existence we are aware of. Work that would have been untouchable a few years ago. You don't...

but the "Great AI wars" IS what pushes that technology forward into greater commercial viability. The core technology is not going to be stopped by ethics concerns because of its global power potential was the point I was getting at.

I would agree you jumped to a big conclusion there. I was discussing ethics arguments (including a full ban) as a discussion on that point, my intention was not to state your position as "we must ban AI for ethical reasons"...simply to discuss the issues with ethical arguments in general, as the...

more that it gets subsumed in the greater legal argument. The problem with the ethical argument is...when it comes to technologies that generate "power" you have to get all sides to play ball. If you want to ban AI on ethical reasons fine...but if you don't get the US, Europe, Russia, China...

Which brings me back to my first point in the quoted post. Social reasons....that changes every generation and with new technology, and AI is no exception. For ethical....not sure about ethical but legally we will see as the courts catch up. I think the biggest fundamental legal question...

To me, technical ruling on the spell..... if I cast disintegrate on the monster....would you also disintegrate the person inside it? Or fireball or hold person or healing word or any other spell effect. I think the answer most people would give is no, you can't target the character inside the...

It boils down to this. I respect that a lot of people are greatly concerned about AI, for good reasons. But that battle is not going to be won or lost on the battleline of Dnd. If AI is going to fail, its either in business or the courts. Either AI just turns out to not be monetizable enough...

So the thing about AI and creativity. Sure it’s not super creative compared to the whole of humanity. But compared to me…it can be super creative because it pulls from experience outside myself. I’ll ask it to present 20 different ideas…and while 10 are trite garbage, 9 are ideas I would have...

I write many emails using AI, all of our programming team uses it, and just yesterday my boss was complaining that every single interviewee for a job posting was using ChatGPT. It’s right here right now

Nah he is definately thinking AI. Random item X made with AI, being able to write in an AI request to generate X. A character portrait generator with AI...etc etc. I think its all part of the plan....and frankly should be a part of the plan. Again having digital tools and not being considering...

I use AI a lot in my games nowadays and I can say. When it comes to good.....its great. If I just need some decent npc portraits, a few reasonable magical items for a hoard the party stumbled on, or the backstory for a throwaway npc the party got a sudden interest it, it is rock solid. Now yes...

Ultimately the key statements made in the OP are not in conflict. On the one hand, Hasbro has made it clear that their future is in digital subscriptions. That the treadmill of endless edition books should give way to a suite of online tools that players and DM use and enjoy (and pay a regular...

It started out as an online joke but you could do it as a real plot: Open a decantur of endless water under an ocean and have it slowly flood the world over a few thousand years.

Considering how flaky we find CRs when you use the things you are supposed to use them for (aka PCs vs monsters), expecting them to in any way tell you how monster vs monster is going to go is a more hopium than optimism

I think monsters multi-attack works the same as player multiattack aka you can do it in whatever order that you want. Its just that certain monster attack tends to combo off the others, and so it makes sense to specify them in a specific order, but I don't see any language that really forces...

yep number 1 improvement in the 2024 monsters imo

I am going to throw in a spoiler for Echo because I had a question and frankly I couldn't finish that show it was so boring to me: Echo Spoiler

Its the MCU I will never say never....but unlike Coulson who had the backing of an agency with access to the world's resources and every bit of alien tech and mystical voodoo ever found....Foggy is just a lawyer. There wouldn't be any reason (or frankly means) for anyone to bring him back. If...

yeah its funny they had foggy in all of the promo interviews and stuff and then.....iced! But yeah I do think they will bring back Karen, at least I hope they do. I will say I give Deborah Anne some credit on that death scene, like her reaction was brutal and awesome.
