Livestreaming as always today at 2pm UK time (9am Eastern)! We'll be talking about D&D's latest beer/dice tower combo collaboration, looking at D&D magazines over the decades, discussing Star Trek's new 23rd Century campaign guide, and more! D&D's Beer Collaboration Continues With Special...

I don't think I know your motives. That's why I asked. Unless you're referring to the two things I assumed you knew--that there is no objective morality line, and that everybody is entitled to an opinion. I can't think of any other way I could be interpreted as "knowing your motives". They're...

What's your point here? That all morality exists on a scale, therefore morality does not apply? That there's always somebody even less ethical, so it doesn't matter? I don't get where you're going with this bizarre line of reasoning. Is it OK if I steal your wallet because somebody once robbed a...

Were you really hungry?

Looks like a much more lighthearted take on the Game of Thrones world--bordering on being a comedy. It starts January 18th, 6 episode run, and each episode is only 30 minutes long.

I hope there is one, even if just for the opening dance.

Sad times.

This whole "it's not conscious" sidetrack keeps derailing this thread, and it's getting tedious and preventing the actual conversation from happening. This is just how people talk. He's using understandable human language to describe behaviour. You know what he means. We all do. Let's all stop...

This month on Level Up Gateway, the official character builder for Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition, even more classes are moving to level 20, a heap of bugs have been resolved, and we have built a new encounter builder and initiative tracker...

I don’t think that anybody was in any doubt of that. You’ve made yourself very clear.

Well, practicalities aside, that’s technically a massive copyright minefield. I never understood how it didn’t get sued out of existence by the big web publishers!

Non-profit doesn't mean it doesn't need revenue to run. They're constantly asking for donations. If nobody is visiting Wikipedia, nobody is seeing the donation requests. Wikipedia will go away. ChatGPT will not be able to scrape it because it's not there. The whole 'death of the internet' theory...

The problem with that is that once you have removed the actual websites from the interaction, you remove any incentive for the website to exist because it gets no traffic. Then, once all the actual human-created websites have been driven away, where does ChatGPT get its information from? It's...

And mine is an illustration of a use case where AI output is being called "consumer-level" (by you) when it is, in fact, slop.

Excellent question. Who do we 'blame'? Well, the tool, as folks endlessly point out, has no consciousness. But people -- 1. Train the tools on stolen material. 2. Choose to use them despite their environmental effects. 3. Rely on them despite their unreliability. So yes, you blame the person...

How does that thread prove that the 'novels' on Amazon are not slop? "Consumer-level" is your words, not mine. The slop I am trying to tell you about is not "consumer-level", as you'd realise if you looked at it. Or don't look at it. But then don't waste your time and mine challenging my...

I love Free League’s cloth maps of Middle Earth… and now so do my walls!
