Oh yeah, Jezza seems great, from what I know he actively left the Mormon faith and was ostracized by most his family. He uses this experience to be a more empathetic and better person.
All the more sad when Shad tries to claim he’s just as good an artist and Jezza doesn’t have the heart to call him out on it.
Oh it gets worse with Shadiversity. Huge AI art guy, his brother’s an actual artist too so it’s hard seeing Shad brag to him. Very “anti-woke” and paints his conservative Mormon beliefs on everything.
The worst unforgivable part is the end of his book has impregnated rape victims step up to defend the rapist protagonist because he “gave them” a child, while the ones that didn’t get pregnant were jealous.
He loves to bring up that the book is supposed to explore this immoral character. But this isn’t the protagonist’s viewpoint this is just how Shad thinks the world works. This is how Shad believes rape victims think.
Very sad to see, I followed him for swords and castles but Jesus Christ.

There was a brief window after ChatGPT when I had a twinkle in my eye and thought “this is an impressive start, how will they improve it? How will they make it more efficient?”.
That went away when all the tech companies in unison slurred out “make it bigga!” then pushed to production.

God you don’t realize how many tiny things you need to buy until you don’t have them.
You’d expect to find something like a ruler, some tape, a pen, sticky notes, ect. but realize you gotta buy them first instead of just searching your clutter drawers.
I used Roll20 matchmaking, guy in that group invited me to another game with their friend.
Been together 4 years and engaged, moved across country, also I isolated myself before so my entire friend group now is from my fiancee.
Original guy ghosted us all in a heartless way, but he’ll forever be the one who introduced me to my new life.
Can’t wait for FOSS brain implants, it would still be hellish but a fun kind of hellish.
I want someone like Linus Torvalds to verbally abuse someone for not understanding basic computational neuroscience.
Yeah I love Foundry, but I’m convinced the DM needs technical knowledge to use it. I ran a server for non tech savvy DM and it was like working customer service.
With plenty of investment you can get the tabletop to be almost exactly what you want it to be, and for a popular system like 5e you can make it as automated as a Baldurs Gate game. You just need to download a lot of modules to get there and customize a lot of settings. Without that it just becomes a less intuitive Roll20.
And I must stress from experience, never offer to host/troubleshoot a server for someone else, especially if the DM likes to complain or can’t handle minor technical setbacks.
I’m curious, is there actually so many 42’s in the system? (more than 69 sounds unlikely)
What if the LLM is getting tripped up because 42 is always referred to as the answer to “the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything”.
So you ask it a question like give a number between 1-100, it answers 42 because that’s the answer to “Everything”, according to it’s training data.
Something similar happened to Gemini. Google discouraged Gemini from giving unsafe advice because it’s unethical. Then Gemini refused to answer questions about C++ because it’s considered “unsafe” (referring to memory management). But Gemini thinks C++ is “unsafe” (the normal meaning), therefore it’s unethical. It’s like those jailbreak tricks but from its own training set.

This is amazing! Now we’ll be able to free humans from manual lab-
Cotton Gin gets invented
This is typically why education and experience are still needed if you’re self taught.
I know from learning programming that people online don’t explain “common sense” problems. So many times you’ll look up a problem and see people talk about huge refactors or complex niche fixes when in reality you misplaced a single line of code.
I’ve been enjoying it, there’s still consistent players and a good variety of decks I’ve fought.
Though you will learn to groan when you see an Oblivion Gate, Midnight Burial, or Paarthurnax.
My personal gripe is that there are so many ways to destroy/silence creatures and not many full proof counters. I’ll have several turns of placing something down, it gets destroyed, repeat.
But I always play ranked and at the moment have an equipment based deck, and a deck built around creatures that deal damage. Hardly meta but with each I win about half the time and slowly climb the ranks.
On a light note, I’m a slut for Bethesda, atleast I skipped Fallout 76 but I’m gonna preorder Starfield. I was 11 when Skyrim came out and it’s very near and dear to me and I love some aspects of Fallout 4. ESO was also not bad and I play Elder Scrolls Legends. I’m seeing this through to the end bois ✌️.
On a serious note, I swear by never drinking alone or without someone I trust as much as my partner. Nothing bad happened to me but I have several negative experiences with drinking in my family. And technically my dad died riding a motorcycle drunk, but I don’t think being sober would have saved him from that specific incident.
I just never ever want to be anything close to an alcoholic. I feel like I would get addicted if it was more convenient and didn’t taste bad. Fear of addiction is also why I’m wary of gambling.

I feel like the fediverse might take off, but not because of Lemmy.
I was a deep lurker on Reddit and a RIF user so when shit hit the fan I heard about Lemmy.
However I never use Twitter, but before learning about the fediverse because of Lemmy I already heard casual mention about Mastodon. I feel Mastodon will be the first to reach a really wide audience and once the public is comfortable with using federated networks then Lemmy might gain mainstream appeal.
Regardless of what happens, something has to give and I’m excited to see the old titans drop to their knees for once (and Twitter doing a faceplant).
A federated internet feels like a good balance between free speech and moderation. And decentralized non-profits feel like they’ll be more stable than the venture capitalist sugar daddies Silicon Valley has relied on.
I’m early Gen Z with a kinda poor family. So I had CRT’s and old VHS but also grew up on the internet.
I feel an extreme gap between me and people a few years younger. I graduated in 2018 so I was some of the last people to have a traditional highschool experience. Before Covid, Zoom, and Chatgpt.
I also mostly grew up with computers instead of phones so Im only just now getting into TikTok, I’ll likely never truly revolve around it like many others (both older and younger than me).
