ive talked on how i wont engage with writers who use ai, i wont eat at a restaurant with an ai menu, i wont have anything to do with it. but what this post illustrates is regardless of how OTHERS react, ultimately the worst part about using ai is that you are punishing YOURSELF and dont even know it

Remember when the corporate dems would shove their zombie candidates down our throats with, “vote blue no matter who”? Are you voting blue no matter who, corporate dems? No? I won’t be checking the box for Jocelyn Benson since the masks are off.

It’s a game about anything, set anywhere. Computers, AIs, and networks are the backdrop. Do the PCs know that? Does this fact emerge during the game. You decide!

Wythe chat with James A. Pozenel Jr. of Horse Shark Games @lectrotext.bsky.social about the amazing new cyberpunk TTRPG, Netcrawl! We chat about Dungeon Crawl Classics, high-lethality games, luck mechanics, and genres of literature in RPGs before digging into the creation and future of Netcrawl.

I am frustrated by the lack of care put into these sales pitches (never mind the deluge of bot accounts doing the exact same thing). I have plenty going on and teaching a cold caller what I am looking for is a waste of everyone’s time.

it’s amazing that there’s no crime anymore. if you do crime you’re actually just the victim for getting caught. the people who catch you are the criminals

Big Tech executives donated over $227 MILLION to Trump's Super PAC and pet projects. Their payments bought them a seat at Trump's roundtable to regulate AI. We can hardly trust them to create the technology, let alone regulate it. These tech oligarchs are out of control.
