Centrists always present these takes as savvy "harsh truths" for the left, but they're the most pathetic kind of ignorant, cowardly self-soothing. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

LLMs are not curing cancer This is why no one should use the word "AI" We should use more specific words that differentiate between useful, ethical uses of machine learning like classification or regression and unethical, un-useful uses like LLMs and grifting

Using current LLM technology at all, because: Datacenters, will run ruin on an already degrading state of carbon and heat, and kill us all, all that much sooner. I'd rather live than have foolishly inefficient pattern matching or ego-boosting chatbots.

In reality it's disappointing because it was just another in a long line of publicity stunts designed to put off the bust until they can get the people of the US to absorb their losses on the big con-game they're playing on dumb people.

Every current politician and staffer in the Democratic party needs to go.

Dude's a Republican. Votes with Republicans. Fuck him. And fuck every Senate Dem for continuing to give him leadership positions.

We use to call it "Rulesmaster", but lord knows I've played a lot of Rolemaster campaigns as long I didn't have to GM with it. 😀 But, really, that's true of most of the original generation of RPG systems, say, GURPS and games that came before/at the same time as GURPS.

I just find it super easy to put together and play a game with it, in any genre, and pull newbies in quickly. Plus, like so many folks my age, I started with Basic D&D and Traveller, so nothing is *really* difficult for me. 🤣

I've played it since it was just "Champions", so it's lack-of-difficulty is, for me, non-existent. LOL.

Shane has always been a Nazi. I downloaded all the rules books and have never given them a dime. 😀

Bummer there's no printed version. I'm not semi-literate, and don't have time to hear people circumlocute their way around the info.

"Several basic income participants told Business Insider that being able to use the extra cash for childcare and education allowed them to forgo unstable, PT jobs in favor of a more lucrative FT job. The vast majority of participants reported that cash increased their food and housing security..."

Um... Not impressive. Car manufacturing robots have been doing far more difficult tasks, for decades now. I'm sure it was a neat end-of-semester project for the kid in the video though.

It's already the non-permanent solution.

Which, compared to the games I usually played, Hero system, etc. is WAY simpler.

Savage Worlds.

I have, over some years now, become a regular user of a certain "simplified" ttrpg system, and cannot tell you how many of my older rpg associates I've had to defend myself from, as they get *SO* aggro...
