Looking for a #dnd or #pathfinder short adventure for 3-5 players that gives the GM a chance to do some character creation and for everyone to get to play at level 20 w/out years of canceled sessions and mismatched schedules to get a proper campaign there?

Am I designing my cleric’s eventual (magic) tattoo instead of the logo I’m supposed to be doing?

…

I mean, yes. Of course it’s yes.

So Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe are all gonna ban ChatGPT from receiving payments now, right?

Right??

Matt Burgess (WIRED) @mattburgess1.bsky.social · 1d

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

We can't wait to fully reveal our game very soon – for now, here's a first glance at where you'll be managing your stable from at the start of the game! (Don't worry, you can upgrade to a proper house later on!)

Who wants to move in? 😇

Cropped screenshot of our upcoming game, it shows an orange trailer home in a slightly messy yard, with a rusty old car and horse transporter parked on the side. In the background, you see a small town as well as the sea. Everything is hand-drawn in 2D.

much like A.I., capitalism and colonization has poisoned everything it’s touched, extracted its soul and humanity, and regurgitated it as slop

we can see the patterns. we can see the truth.

and we can see a way out. together.

it’s so much simpler than you think.

stop buying in.

remain curious.

OpenAI’s strategy is very clear, it’s trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in

Nothing saddens me more than seeing an interesting concept for a game on Steam and then scrolling down to see they use Generative AI.

Why?! Just don’t! There are countless reasons why you shouldn’t!

boost your user satisfaction and growth with this one weird trick (removing the shit everyone hates that you added for no reason)

r/SaaS
u/soasme
I deleted ALL AI features... and user growth went UP.

Everyone's busy adding Al to everything.
I did the same for indie10k.com but it didn't work.
I removed all of fancy Al stuff - Al coach, Al growth ideas, Al "personalized" advice - everything.
Guess what?
I see more registered users and higher retention.
That actually make me wonder why now i have one page with one button, without all that Al thingy, but it does better?
Here's my question:
Is Al feature actually helping SaaS grow?
