no one ever had to be forced to use *good* tech.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

It continues to boggle me how even people who say that they abhor generative AI will review a game with explicitly stated AI use and just heap praise on it.

The Umbral Messiah is a pulpy fantasy adventure about a trans girl (called a rebis girl in this fantasy world) who goes on an adventure to try and stop the Lich King, who seeks to bring about a terrible apocalypse

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.
"Woke is ruining D&D". Meanwhile Dimension 20, one of the wokest real play shows around, just sold out Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl for live shows and brings armies of new players to RPGs.

I wouldn't feel pressured to produce and sign contracts multiple times a year. I'd take my time writing books I wanted to write, regardless of whether they were marketable. I'd make weirder things, more niche things, and I'd sleep better knowing one failure wouldn't kill me.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

If you are an apolitical content creator, clearly that means you accept everyone in your community, right? Yeah, "everyone" also includes nazis. And when you include nazis in your space, that is what you're going to be left with.
Being Apolitical means you're ok with nazis and what they do.

The X-Files is genuinely a timelessly good show, because when not focusing on overarching conspiracy plot, they would really just focus on a single concept and quite crucially, it would cast an incredible actor to center the episode around who would be utterly god damn captivating to watch.

I refuse to trust people who are anti-porn. Anti-porn is anti-queer.
The porn industry is full of queer people, even if you don't know that they're queer. The porn industry is what many queer people turn to for work when normal jobs reject us.
You're not a LGBTQIA+ ally if you're anti-porn.
