Now that is a good example.

Just on target? How accurate is it? Where is it going to hit? What is the speed? These depend on the skill of the user. If this merging of independent probabilities is so widespread, perhaps there is a more compelling example. Because this is not at all like the runes case.

It seems like it would depend highly on the skill of the thrower; or rather, the quality of the throw. It is easier to dodge a poor throw than a good one. There is a clear connection, again, between the two. Whereas the meaning of the runes cannot be said to be connected to the skill of the...

I think any attempt at the right solution here has to address the fallout to the Kristof article. Is the world a better or worse place for payment processors taking action in response? IIRC it led to the removal of a massive amount of exploitative content. I think there is a defensible stance...

Honestly I'm not interested in going into the details given the tone of the conversation. I know I'm not going to convince you of anything and I don't see much point to trying. In general I think there is a complex situation here. You mentioned EU regulations. There are also concerns in the...

Yes, I do think they have a better understanding of their interests than the backseat drivers.

Things seem a monopoly until they aren't, and the environment can change awfully fast. I imagine their primary goal is to avoid public backlash that could lead to regulation. They also probably want to avoid the perception that there is a group of dissatisfied consumers a competitor can...

I think we have to wait and see what actually gets and stays delisted. I don't think Visa/MC actually have an issue with most things, just the very egregious examples. And allowing payments for those very bad things may shrink their customer base as well.

I know. I am saying that your claim, "X is independent of Y", does not follow when X causes Y.

Looks like a cool system. Are you looking for feedback or advice on publishing? I'm not sure what the selling point of your system is. Which is fine; a lot of OSR stuff just systematizes how that GM likes running things.

It seems obvious to me that in the spear case Y depends on X. In the spear case, P(Y|~X) is 0; there cannot be a dodge if the spear is not thrown. Not so in the runes case, where they may be a way out regardless of whether they are read. Likewise we can reasonably say "the spear throw caused...

Yes, you misread my statement.

I'm the poster in question, and I did follow the rules.

Still for sale as far as I can tell.

Some US states have put age verification in place for pornographic sites. Typically the sites stop service in those areas rather than use age verification. So they at least see it as a death sentence.

I can't help but think of the Nicholas Kristof article from 2020, which explicitly called for credit card companies to stop doing business with exploitative sites. As I recall that was successful on a very quick timescale. (I don't know if the ban is still in effect?) I think given the...

I think this is exactly right.

I think if you are updating the formatting and layout and everything, it would be appropriate to replace the art. Would you keep the free version available, or would a paid version replace it?

I wouldn't phrase it as choosing to ignore. When we give orders to humans, we are capable of understanding what they mean and how to interpret them, and therefore what it means to violate them. The LLM doesn't. Prompts can increase the probability that it answers in a certain way, or can...

Something as simple as "provide references" and then confirming the references yourself would avoid the majority of the issues cited in this thread.
