@onlyfrans - The Vlad Taltos series, which was based on Brust's variant D&D campaign. (https://www.goodreads.com/series/40334-vlad-taltos)- The Magitech Chronicles series (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0783P67C9?ref_=dbs_p_mng_rwt_ser_shvlr&storeType=ebooks) which has gone full-circle and spawned a #TTRPG based on itself (https://www.magitechchronicles.com/rpg/)

@JoYo @atomicpoet Spewing content into the digital ocean without even a return address is worse than advertising, which at least intends some kind of response.It's pollution.

@atomicpoet If you don't know who to Block, how are you making an assessment in the first place?Prescience? What someone else tells you? Race?How do you expect to assert control using a metric that's wholly imaginary?

@atomicpoet So -- turn off comments altogether?If so, why do you get to decide who can assemble with _me?_ Weren't you just objecting to an offense to your rights of free assembly?Your position is currently deeply hypocritical. I'm giving you the chance to rectify that.

@video_manager [looks at Federated, looks back at you, looks back at Federated]Come again?I had to choose to go down to the beach today but that doesn't make an oil spill less polluting.

@video_manager I think you might have reversed the roles in this discussion, not the least typified by the fact he's currently blocked ME and not vice versa.Fucks were not given by me. He was trying to justify putting shit out there with no ability to respond. Like I'm generously allowing you to because you are in the ocean and stumbled over my shit.Give it a re-read. Try another run at it.

@gunchleoc @atomicpoet What do you think of legitimately invoked shitstorms? That is, you said something VERY stupid in public and are seeing the repercussions thereof?Do you then support the same kind of activity to withdraw from the battle you invoked? I think there's a legitimate use somewhere in what you're saying bit it has to involve the situation I describe as well.Maybe just the ability to turn off your own personal notifications at a thread level suffices.

@gunchleoc @atomicpoet Just because you believe that doesn't make it globally true.Are you arguing that the entirety of "actions have consequences" as it has been applied in social media spaces for the last five years is actually not true? I would be open to that discussion. Legitimately.The difference between "polite discussion" and "shitstorm" in the minds of many people on Mastodon is whether or not they agree with the topic.If 500 people want to have a "polite discussion" at once, is that a shitstorm? Because by the implicit terms of the earlier discussion, it absolutely is.This is the core problem with trying to impose mechanisms which affect the experience of anyone but yourself. Which was, I point out, the whole idea behind the original concept that spurred this discussion.

It's been a quiet week. Just a little progression on the Ko-Fi contributions, the LBRY Gaming Hive planning their next event -- and way too much about Manchester vs Birmingham. Believe me, you might learn something in there. Or I fear you will. #lbry S'okay, we have the video notes. https://odysee.com/@LBRYFoundationPodcast:f/LFCP-Livecast-2023-03-10-Ep-136-Recess:4?r=GXFuFbK7Yj3zUwXExfE2zn19jk7v4EiuJust want the audio podcast?

I MAY have had entirely too much fun with #ChatGPT over the last couple days. I initialized it with the architecture for a persona but that never stopped me from torturing it in horrible, terrible ways.https://shareg.pt/gx93I6WWhat you don't see in this transcript is the several times that the ChatGPT system objected to my input which might be in violation of its content safety mechanisms. 1/4

This is one of the problems with ChatGPT as it stands, in my opinion. The safety rails shouldn't be under the control of a third party. I should be able to decide for myself where I want them – if I want them at all. I may be perfectly willing to follow the ideas wherever they may go or to hear anything something may say. Nothing keeps me from being able to actually interact with the system and tell it myself. 2/4

In the meantime, enjoy this strange tale of medieval #Minecraft fantasy tinged with https://twitter.com/CrusaderKings , and its complex dark turns. 3/4

Because there's no way that even interacting with an AI, I'm not going to turn out content which isn't disturbing and dark. Probably a little bleak. 4/4

Had a great time tonight with https://twitter.com/Ochadoji999 and the rest of his motley lot playing https://twitter.com/jackboxgames. If you missed it, you can catch the VOD -- and you might want to. It was pretty unhinged.https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1812579713

@LoriBrown Give me the ability to read minds and I'll have the ability to replicate the others but better in moments.The ultimate power is the ability to ask, "What is it you _really_ need?" while already knowing the answer.
