“What we need to explain to the world: Number one, we are close to creating a genie that can grant any wish. Number two, we are going to make sure that our first wishes broadly benefit humanity” - Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI — This is definitely the opposite of Anthropic’s AI kills all jobs pitch.

There's a semi-new genre of Youtube clickbait which apparently consists of IN DEFENSE OF UNIVERSALLY BELOVED MOVIE Ugh.

The Stygian Library is a point-crawl adventure set in an infinite extradimensional library. Each expedition randomly generates a new route as it explores, making each venture inside different from the last. soulmuppet-store.co.uk/pages/cavegi...

Finally made it to Disclosure Day. It's a pretty good movie. The problem, of course, is you expect better than "pretty good" from Spielberg. There's a curiously antiseptic quality to Spielberg's fantastical films in the last twenty years.

Yes, my eyes are getting old, but recent RPG books I've read include: dark grey text on a black background pink text on a slightly different pink background dark red text on a dark green background (barely readable for me, and FU if you're color blind) This is inexplicably hostile to the reader.

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

Government of the stupid, by the stupid, for the stupid.

over text limit sry. and yeah, the added pressure of running low on arrows during a long excursion or deep in a dungeon adds to the tension in a way that's fun!

A ridiculous amount of RPG 📀🐴 looks like this: Just played our 15th session of Monopoly. Before the campaign started, we decided that rolling to move sucks so we just let people move wherever they want to. It doesn't work. There's a whole Rent system, but nobody ever paid it, so what's the point?

It still amazes me just how bad Google search has gotten. Not just on the home page, but through their entire infrastructure. For example, there's a video called Rudon's Plane in my Youtube History. Searching for "Rudon's Plane" finds it. But searching for "Plane" doesn't. This should be a gimme.

It's unnecessary and purposefully cruel to police food purchases like this; when I was a cake decorator we had tons of people pay for their kids' birthday cakes with EBT and SNAP and it's safe to assume that it's the only way some kids will ever get a birthday cake. Stop attacking the poor, ffs

Misinformation can be insidious. Few months ago someone on Reddit claimed Super Sentai (1975) was based on the Japanese Spider-Man (1978). This is untrue (see years), and I replied and debunked it. But fast forward to 2 days ago and my brain went, "Super Sentai was based on Japanese Spider-Man."
