I’ve spent a lot of time in RPGs, and the last time I RPed in a G was around the time George Bush’s dad was president.

“withdrew all ground troops” … “one brigade remains.”

They named the bill wrong - it should be Kids’ Act for Online Safety- KAOS.

Aussie Pedo-Priest is all you need for a very dark horror-comedy.

My last game was exhausting. Years of cryptic lore, mediocre tie-in properties we pretended were good, pvp you could opt out of midstream by switching off your router, a sandbox that one player characterized as “as wide as the universe and one inch deep.”

So, I thought I’d try something completely different, and that different thing, god help me, is Evony.

Try to train a human comedian to make jokes without ever allowing him to hear another comedian’s jokes, never watching a movie, never reading a book or magazine, never watching a TV show. I expect the jokes would be pretty weak.

I haven’t used C since 1995, but in my recollection, they’re needed so that the compiler can do type-checking (to the extent possible) in other files that use the function.

Jessica went nuclear when they did that. It was inspirational and the FCC’s website got the “hug of death” for at least hours.

Why is there a picture of Margaret Cho?

You occasionally run into a Prescott, but never a Postscott.

Anybody else see a thumbnail that doesn’t appear to fit the article? Or does it fit and I’m missing something? E2a: It’s apparently PM Modi of India.

If they changed the name to the Kids’ Act for Online Safety, we could get Maxwell Smart and Agent 99 to fight against the bill.

I’ve had a nagging issue with ChatGPT that hasn’t been easy for me to explain. I think I’ve got it now.

We’re used to computers being great at remembering “state.” For example, if I say “let x=3”, barring a bug, x is damned well gonna stay 3 until I decide otherwise.

GPT has trouble remembering state. Here’s an analogy:

Let Fred be a dinosaur.
Ok, Fred is a dinosaur.
He’s wearing an AC/DC tshirt.
OK, he’s wearing an AC/DC tshirt.
And sunglasses.
OK, he’s wearing an AC/DC tshirt and sunglasses.
Describe Fred.
Fred is a kitten wearing an AC/DC tshirt and sunglasses.

When I work with GPT, I spend a lot of time reminding it that Fred was a dinosaur.

What a pleasure to stumble across a random article and see it was written by Matt Stoller.

Bwahaha! I have stolen your comment!

Zoomer MAGAs with gay friends/relatives feel like a blister just waiting to burst.

What am I looking at? Oh, fuck me, Bad Wolf.
