AI continues to burn down everything it was trained on, as it did with people handling questions on stack overflow or writing tutorials. it's not just stealing everything ever to resell, it's permanently messing up ways people did things without it. won't have enough updated info to steal in 5 years
Reddit Stock Collapses 23% as AI Eats Away at User Growth
Reddit delivered strong earnings, but the numbers beneath the surface tell a different story. Slowing logged-in user growth and AI-powered search could threaten the platform's long-term value.

*standing up on the plane* No, getting together a TV couple with will-they/won't-they romantic chemistry is NOT a mistake. You may be listening to conventional wisdom about the TV show Moonlighting, but as has been comprehensively shown by an array of critics, that program's problems had nothing t-

Finding inspiration for RPG scenarios in unlikely places: you’re out of work, but your friend has a can’t-miss bet on a horse, only you have no money, but theres a safe you can break into, if you bring in another guy… unable to turn back, the risks keep compounding out of desperation and hope
The Pope of Greenwich Village (1984)
Fired from their jobs and short on cash, two cousins and small-time crooks make a big score, unaware that the safe they cracked belongs to the mob.

Did you know Traveller's Marc W. Miller and others designed ~4 or more educational roleplaying games ca. 1972-1974--before D&D? Here's a 🧵 with a few thoughts about this ...

the american government should stop using our tax dollars on War and start using them on Building More IMAX 70MM Screens
I wanted to make a scenario using DIE RPG, but could not get a handle on the game. It is very orthodox in some areas and utterly vague in others. I reworked the system until the only part worth keeping was its premise, and I didn’t need DIE RPG for that. DIE RPG is only for playing DIE RPG the comic
Looking for a local #TravellerRPG group who will engage with the setting’s premise

This unique combination of parody and homage to early 70s/80s British educational programs examines different scientific topics in each episode.

For a lot of the redditors, hobbies are about consumption and reciting trivia.The idea of actually playing a game gets in the way of the hobby.
