ELIZA's creator was so alarmed by the fact that people mistook the chatbot for a sentient being that he wrote an entire book about why this implementation of computer technology was a huge problem and it is a staggering achievement

"What if every npc was a fully functional chatbot" is the game equivalent to asking in a movie "what if you could move the camera wherever you wanted"; it sounds so cool until you realize there is a crucial intent to the limits, and you will quickly lose the plot if you toss that by the wayside.

currently at over 40 slides and growing lmao

WTF. Just been informed about an AI-based digital consulting platform where folk can allegedly pay $80 per hour for consolation with me about game design.

I have no idea who these folk are, or what the hell they're selling, but it isn't me!

This is messed up in so many ways.

Very good thread on a topic I've thought a lot about.

This does undo a bit of a knot in my chest, it's really helpful to read. I've debated a lot over the years whether or not to push away from Qet's historical Mesoamerican inspirations, since I'm a white Jew. 1/

TTRPGs about relationships! And some of those relationships are about digging tunnels under your house to see if there's a Daddy hiding somewhere in the darkened soil, communicating with you through the earth, waiting for you to dig your way down to it.

And some are normal!

Things made much more sense when I realized the assholes making this happen have spent every economic crash effortlessly keeping all their best assets while receiving bailouts that you pay for and and gleefully buying all YOUR bankrupted assets for dirt cheap.

Crashes are an exploit cycle to them.

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking.

I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

Coming soon: NOVA 2e The second edition of the action packed mech TTRPG. Time to go nova!

Oh what the heck, let me just leave this here real quick

After conquering the Crime Novel in 2014, Stephen King went retro and produced a new horror classic melding the nostalgia of the Saturday Evening Post with the cosmic bleakness of Lovecraft. It's called REVIVAL and we talk about it on the latest JUST KING THINGS: rangedtouch.com/2026/03/09/r...

You need to call your reps and demand that they OPPOSE:

Every objective study of LLMs have shown that despite people feeling like they are helping, they make work worse and slower vs "But I feel like they are helping"

I cannot emphasize enough that these people are being laid off for failing to do things that are literally impossible

and 'latchkey kid' is a term form the 1970s! at least three generations of most households requiring two full time earners y'all.
