I was curious if ChatGPT knows about my Usenet usage from 40 years ago. In response to “What do you know about me?”:

I feel like more people need to learn about the AI black box problem. For the uninitiated, it’s basically a problem with machine learning wherein we can know the input (dataset used for training) and output (response to a given prompt) but cannot know exactly how the system arrived at that place. This is a big problem…

The storage rooms of people who can both afford and have space for all these UCS and 18+ LEGO sets:

They can either get right with nature or nature will get right with them.

As long I as I can stomp stomp stomp the night away with Isaac’s heavy Boots of Justice on necromorph corpses that make noises like a watermelon full of mac and cheese, backed by Isaac’s panicked breathing and occasional cussword, I’ll be a happy camper.

My response to this situation is that Hasbro and WotC tried to break a license because they don’t care about fair play. Like, seriously, the people who designed the original OGL are still around and you can talk to them, and their statements saying you could not be forced to use a new version of the license if you…

It took me far too long to realize that this had nothing to do with dolphins selling cars.

This is the dumbest use of a slideshow on this site yet, it actively harms the content. Whoever thought this is a good idea should feel bad.

Yes, that’s likely the result of grade inflation. They only did well on paper, not in reality.

“...it’s doubtful your buddy wants their expensive collection of tools just tossed through the air like like a sack of potatoes.”

Here it is as basically as I can possibly explain (hold onto your shorts, friend):

DnD is a mechanical game system for TTRPG play. In 2000, the company that now owns the IP, WotC (Wizards of the Coast) issued an OPEN GAMING LICENSE (the OGL referenced here) which was a LEGAL DOCUMENT of rights which they provided so…

So, I’ve probably talked to 30-40 “super users” like myself about this over the past couple of weeks. We’re all, to the person, like 85% “forever DM” versus active players (thought most of us do play). I also own literally every piece of available 5e content on Beyond and have a Master Tier subscription. Looking…

This is the most short sighted and tone deaf response I’ve seen. I can only assume you have no functional knowledge of how IPs, and OGLs work, so I’ll give you the 30 second rundown.

The Clue Meter is reading zero. The Irony Meter exploded. I’m going home.

Except George Santos.

How can you even SEE us, from astride a horse that high?

You’re “only joking”, the internet’s most impenetrable defense (🙄🙄🙄), so I’m walking into a land mine here, but... There’s a difference between continuing to support a known piece of shit and having supported in the past a person newly discovered to be a piece of shit. Obviously.

This just screams Krieger from Archer...

Fun fact: Antonov is a Ukrainian manufacturer, not Russian. ;-) So Their factory is at Hostomel near Kyiv. It was an early target of the war, actually; Russia wanted to secure the airport at Hostomel as a place to insert special operations troops with the objective of taking over the government. They specifically…

ahh so you’re their token, got it. You’re the immigrant who made it here and promptly pulled the ladder up rather than helping others.
