Gygax himself and some modern commenters have made the point that dungeon crawls are an inherently masculine fantasy but so much of the media I grew up on was "a high school girl is put into a death maze but at least in a maze you can decide where to go" that I will never agree

I do not object that the model is not sufficiently conscious, I object that the structure of generative AI can only produce statistically likely approximations of real people's art See the papers on how, given a description of an image in the training set, the algo will reproduce that exact image

If yes, you have to agree that personhood isn't sufficient for the right to free expression. If no, then the use of copyrighted art to train an AI can't be wrong in principle. You can only object that the model is not sufficiently conscious or not sufficiently a person.

I'm starting to think that one of the most critical skills one can develop in the modern era is the ability to look at some stupid fucking shit that sucks and go "damn, this is some stupid fucking shit that sucks" instead of "wow, what an interesting premise for a philosophical logic problem"

If you're opposed to machine learning making outputs based on training on copyrighted art, are you opposed to ai in general doing it, or opposed to the current types of models doing it? That is, if you had C-3PO, would the same rule apply?

What boils my piss about the "originality" of harry potter is that as a series it gives not one shit about actual mythology from England or anywhere in Britain. Centaurs aren't British. The fuck is a Veela. Fucking Magus Bride cares so much more about your homeland's mythology and it's Japanese

I've been putting my art out there as much as I can, but i've not gotten enough orders to make it. I need to hit at least $600 before the month ends. I had to hold off on getting doggy shampoo, because it was that or meals for a few days. I'm sorry for always asking for help. ko-fi.com/reinav

Looking for recommendations for a friend for freelance romance editors. Short story to novel length. Hit me up, especially if you're the editor in question. (what was once obvious now needs to be said, if you're using AI to "edit" I'm not interested)

So what's in Issue #5 that makes it so special? Well, we have not one but three interviews with folks around the creator published and small press space, as well as a look at what's new on Itch, RPG Trader, and Backerkit and more! Plus games and articles from global contributors!
