D&D might be a soulless product of middling quality because it is so corporatized now that they refuse to take risks or even release an actually new edition for their big anniversary, but they changed a word so we need to celebrate them.

All the while games like Fabula Ultima don’t even have the concept of race or species and you can define it via a quirk if you feel there is something important to distinguish your character. Lancer doesn’t even ask the question and just wants you to define what your character is good at. And yea the default setting of lancer only has humans, but it’s also a post-scarcity hyper future where people can change their genes and looks with great ease.

But we didn’t read those games and in the TTRPG space, only talking about D&D gets clicks, so this had to be about D&D.

Set aside a day of the week to do your job searching and application sending on. Teat it like your job on that day, but then don’t worry about doing it for the rest of the week.

Lie on your resumes. The corpos you will work for will lie to you, so don’t put yourself at a disadvantage by being truthful. You owe them nothing when you show up for an interview.

If you think you can learn how to do some BS thing the job wants you to be able to do, learn what it is enough to answer questions about it during the interview. If they hire you, learn enough to start working on it before you start.

Crowder is Canadian?

Yes, please apply the logic of stealing form large multi-national corporations to individual artists. Sterling logic.

I know why my boss makes more money then me. Because he is my enemy in a class war.

If any of these AI models draws art that is slightly too close to looking like Mickey Mouse the Disney corporation is sharpening the lawyer axe. I wonder why. But sharing is caring, right? Why would they do that?

Oh right because they want to decide what their intellectual property is used for. A right that wasn’t afforded to basically every single artist whose stuff was used to train these models. These artists often rely directly on selling their art for their daily survival. Maybe they would have liked some money to sell their art for this purpose? Maybe they didn’t want to sell it at all? Doesn’t matter, they weren’t asked. If you don’t have an army of lawyers, the corporations will do as they like. Which is why Disney is save, while normal artists are fucked and weren’t even asked in what hole they would like it before they were.

So shut the fuck up about sharing is caring, it’s easy to say that if you are the one taking advantage. I don’t know what field you work in, but I hope you lose your job to a robot that they trained on recordings of your work. You can tell me then how good it feels to share your skills.

These datasets do not exist, you got that right.

I highly doubt there is much AI deep learning needed to keep a robot arms PIDs accurate. That seems like something a regular old algorithm can do.

Oh right, we live under communism, where everyone’s needs are cared for. My bad

Oh wait, we aren’t and you are just a shithead who, once again, wants to tell me that stealing from other workers is good.

Sorry to hurt your fefes, but I don’t like theft and that is what AI content ALL is. How does it “know” how to program? Code stolen form humans. How does it speak? Words stolen from humans. How does it draw? Art stolen from humans.

Until this shit stops being built on a mountain of stolen data and stolen livelihoods, the argument is over. I don’t care if you like stealing money from artists so that you can pretend you had any creative input into an AIs art output. You’re stealing the work of normal people and think it’s okay because it was already stolen once before by the billionaires who are now selling it to you.

Since I don’t feel like arguing, I will grant you that you are correct in what you say AI can do. I am not really but whatever, say it can:

How will these reasonable AI tools emerge out of this under capitalism? And how is it not all still just theft with extra steps that is imoral to use?

Wow, great, the AI is here to defend itself. Working about as well as you’d think.

Disagree. The technology will never yield AGI as all it does is remix a huge field of data without even knowing what that data functionally says.

All it can do now and ever will do is destroy the environment by using oodles of energy, just so some fucker can generate a boring big titty goth pinup with weird hands and weirder feet. Feeding it exponentially more energy will do what? Reduce the amount of fingers and the foot weirdness? Great. That is so worth squandering our dwindling resources to.

Definitely the bravest people we have. Fyling Boeing… wow.

I can’t wait for Ubisoft to die. Out of the big ones, they seem the most likely to eat shit in the near-ish future.

An entirely fair comparison. There is no way any of the people responsible should be thrown into a ravine and shot if they somehow climb back up. Absolutely none. Very fair and balanced. Yes.

The Bocchi the Rock anime vs the Manga. The Manga is by no menas bad, but it is a 4 panel gag affair which has very little of the dynamism and weird jokes of the anime. I really want them to make more of it.

You’re HUGE for a 6 yea r old!

So, like, get beamed on a planet and eaten by the monster of the week?

Exactly brother. We don’t want no stinky Babylon 5 knockoff in our Star Trek!

That’s what we were all clamoring for: a different Star Trek. Heavens know that has never been tried before!

What happened with gog?

Like I said, it’s an empty gesture. Unless Nintendo seizes the computers of all the devs, the code will live on and uploading it somewhere is very very easy.
