Have been a fan since 1e, still have all the 1e/2e/3e books, and have most of the PDFs via bundles for 4e/5e/6e. The setting for me is 1e-3e, I didn't like the direction 4e-6e took the setting into. So whatever the system is, I'll always play the 2050-2070 era. But, from my perspective SR...

Adding skills and classes would be against the OPs 'rules' imho, use the investigation skill for computer use and hacking at a very basic level and then add a subclass of Hacker to the Rogue class, in the same way you could add a Soldier subclass to the Fighter or a Technomage to the Wizard...

So you keep the classic 5.5e classes as well? If so, I think point #1 would be to reimagine the core classes while keeping the mechanics.

If you ever find it, let me know... I don't own one... ;) Yes, it's disagreement, no matter how you dress it up. You (and others) 'feel' you're right and are willing to 'enforce' that you're 'right' with others. * shrugs * The Internet and the world is full of people that try to do the same on...

What's 'good' people? Imho there are none, there are just people with all the good and bad they do. There are monsters, but very few saints, and none are here on this forum. ;) As for unethical or immoral behaviour, that's the same thing people have said about different sexuality, religion...

A couple of things, if I make something for making something myself, I'll make it myself. Most people's life work is something personal, that they will make themselves, with no participation of others (including AI). Harshness will now ensue: But just because it's your life's work, does not...

Just take solace in the fact that they can't take it with them...

Getting 100% your vision as an illustrator is also very hard, then there's also the customer who's vision you're trying to translate into a working illustration. With generative AI, you can add things to that 'database' without retraining the AI, depending on the model, you can add in actual...

I wonder if you view the clothing you wear the same... A T-shirt woven, spun, and sewn entirely by hand would cost more then $4000... At US minimum wages... https://www.sleuthsayers.org/2013/06/the-3500-shirt-history-lesson-in.html People have been historically replaced by machines, for good...

The FVTT team has put up harsher rules on generative AI and LLM for their module database AND the store, but you can still sell FVTT modules with generative AI and LLM content, you just won't be putting it up on the FVTT database and store. The FVTT team still allow modules that use generative...

That really depends on the people. Some have the forum-warrior gene and any digital written medium becomes a bloodbath... ;) If possible (and I don't mean convenient), in person. Less best thing is a video call, next best to that is a voice call. Again, it depends on the people. If you play in...

Why call it a Buffy the Vampire Slayer (reboot) when there's virtually no Buffy? We had an Angel spinoff, called Angel. It seems like another run at a TV series about modern monsters, that really didn't need the expensive 'Buffy' label. I see a couple of reasons why it was cancelled that...

If that was a requirement, it wouldn't show it originated in the Congo, it would have originated in the same city as the target. Attackers do as much work as necessary, currently not needed, but simple to implement when needed. Attackers vs defense is an arms race and what you suggest is not...

What I was trying to say was that before Facebook or Twitter even existed we had major privacy issues with banks, stuff we've had since with companies like Facebook and Twitter... I'm pretty certain that quite a few banks are happy with social media companies working as distractions... ;)

Yes they are, but that doesn't mean they are perfect either. I've worked for a couple of banks for almost a decade and I know that one of them had issues with requiring copies of IDs they legally weren't allowed to demand. And we recently had a huge issue with a telecom provider that was hacked...

It is when the norm is that you need to be 15+ (Netherlands is going to implement this this way), all 15-17 year olds are still considered kids. 14+ people are required to carry an ID in the Netherlands. I can tell you from experience that the theoretical rights we have do not always translate...

Look at the UK, they implement age verification and nothing decent has been implemented before it's enforced. Why? Because a physical ID does not work in a purely digital environment. Anything that's been implemented so far is just to legally isolate companies from blame, without actually...

This is exactly how news papers worked, run by humans, at the time quite profitable. And while we might now live in bubbles, we also did so in the past. We've seen similar things from radio, TV, news channels. When you look at the news reporting from newspapers, radio and television (news...

I know you took a random number, but it's going far faster then that. Just looking at consumer hardware (4090 => 5090) LLM performance improved by 25%-50% in 2.25 years, on the business side it improved by 100% in 1.25 years. That's just the hardware side, huge improvements are also there on the...

Maybe not the algorithms, but moderators and posters do "confuse, enrage, divide, and socially engineer western society". Which might be a good or a bad thing depending on your perspective. What we've always done as humans with each other, either around the campfire, in the newspaper, books, TV...
