SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The leaks from WotC (before the last act) and their meaning for the future.

ChatGPT started great, but the real aim of the developers isn't the AI but the consorship tools.

ChatGPT censors more aggressively than Google, and has much more control over information it provides.

Yes, but that's not how it started (ChatGPT), the censorship has been increasing by leaps and bounds.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Currently the censorship is very crude and obvious. The real trick would be to make it invisible, to have the AI give plausible looking responses where the censored/altered material meshes invisibly with other material. The ultimate goal would be something that comes across as reasonable as our John Kim here.  ;D

I suspect Cao is going to be removed from D&D shortly.

Just a feeling or something more?

If he was responsible for this whole debacle, then it's possible Hasbro would let him go, but then they might have to rethink the strategy he has been putting in place for the future of their IP.

Unlikely. If they do, it represents a repudiation of the strategy he's been pushing, and an admission that they goofed. And upper management HATES to admit they fucked up.

Still, this IS clown world, and weird things happen every day.

D&D Shorts has already been exposed once for falsifying information for Youtube hits. So I take nothing they claim as true till something actually turns up to confirm it that isnt suspect as well.

He didn't falsify anything. He reported what his sources told him, and corrected things once he became aware that the information was incorrect.

If someone says "hey, double-check your chute" before you jumped out of airplane would you accuse them of spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt? Do you find the guy who you've seen hasn't checked any of the chutes and isn't actually jumping out of the plane saying "Nah, it'll be fine! Just jump!" to be exercising reasonable caution?

This is exactly the sort of thing The Left does that drive me utterly bonkers.

Have you by chance glanced at the changes made in the animated Vox Machina series to avoid using distinct elements of Hasbro's IP? (Hint - the petrifying tentacle monster in the latest batch of episodes was a Beholder in the actual play stream).

Was wondering about that.
