    Imprinting on media

    Yes. I'm still miffed that Conan in the remake didn't have poofy bangs and wear neon-colored leg-warmers and/or parachute pants.

    Happy Haggert Hurried Hungry Hitch Hiking Hired Henchmen Hivers.... apply within

    Hopefully he keeps a trophy case to show off his kills, at least?

    SkyNet really is ... here?

    Personally I think the coin lands on the other side: that this is mostly hype (at least as far as LLM development goes). It seems to me that these guys are walking the line between "it'll fix all our problems" and "it'll destroy the world" intentionally, because that's exactly the sort of...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Cheer up! Maybe it'll be different next time. Or the time after that.

    SkyNet really is ... here?

    Whether one believes current AI is (or soon will be) a threat or not, it's been interesting to watch Sam Altman interviews last couple weeks where he's likened OpenAI's upcoming ChatGPT 5 to the Manhattan Project. He says he's worried about the profound ramifications of releasing a super-AI that...

    D&D General D&D Crochet book?!

    Perhaps. Although in my experience, I've known many young adults who crochet, too. I suspect a lot of people would make things for themselves and friends, and maybe for their own children. (And maybe their own grand children... but not until 40 years from now. ;) )

    Judge decides case based on AI-hallucinated case law

    Yeah, that's definitely a pretty "niche" clip. But I'm not kink-shaming.

    "But you can't do any of that without a season 2!"

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Not just legal terms, but pretty much any technical jargon, i think. But personally I've found that most of the time no amount of explanation really helps. They'll just say, "Well, when I say it I mean [X] ..." as if that somehow negates the real definition. To my mind, that stems from the same...

    Musings on Sci Fi Campaigns/Adventures

    I'm sort of in the same boat as you, finding Traveller-esque sci-fi campaigns to be overwhelming compared to fantasy. Something I found helpful is a book called Solo, by Zozer Games, that provides a solo play framework for Traveller games. (I'm pretty sure there are other similar products for...

    It's a reference to a joke about nostalgia from South Park: https://southpark.fandom.com/wiki/Memberberries

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Related: whenever I watch an Aubrey Plaza movie with the sound off, I hear her with Snarf's voice.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Same here: not every poster, but most of the regulars have, especially the more prolific ones. (It's also especially fun when the voice in my head collides head-on with someone's avatar.)
