I actually think that ChatGPT could eventually become the way to play tabletop RPGs. It's not quite there yet, though. It's not the most creative writer, still often has internal consistency flaws, and of course it would have to be trained specifically on the rules of the RPG you're playing. But once it has been, it could probably act as a DM for groups that lack one. Or as a very closely coupled assistant to less experienced DMs who may need hand holding. It could even likely replace players, which could be useful for solo players who can't find a group (or, say, have incompatible scheduling).

Unlike a regular video game, the format of tabletop RPGs seems perfect for our current rudimentary AIs and the constraints are ones that they can probably handle with careful training alone. It's also a useful niche since there's no replacing the open endedness of tabletop RPGs with current technology. There's also a lot of people out there that I'm sure would like to play tabletop RPGs but just lack a group. Anyone who's played them before knows that scheduling is really hard and has killed a lot of groups. That's something an AI could help with.

Especially since Hitler himself was Christian. As were frankly almost all medieval European rulers. Christianity has never stopped war (or suffering within wars) and in fact fueled a lot of it.

The fact that some general would make a justification like this is terrifying. If he genuinely thinks this would stop wars or suffering, he's blatantly uneducated. The other option is that he knows what he's saying is bullshit and it's just meant to convince the Christian population, which says terrible things about both how the military is run and how gullible that population is

That was why it took me so long to discover I have ADHD (which I got diagnosed with in my 20s, after I had already graduated university).

I recognized challenges I was having, but I both had the issue from the meme and also the issue from your comment. I was a pretty good student despite the ADHD and just developed habits for powering through or "just dealing" with the symptoms. It's a shame, cause now that I'm medicated, it's like night and day. All those periods where I struggled to meet deadlines because I couldn't concentrate... Many of those could have gone away if I had discovered this sooner.

I just adore how excited dogs get when you mention the W-word. Some of them will start jumping and yelping and just showing a level of happiness that I'm a bit envious of. When's the last time something made me "jumping happy"? Some dogs get to experience that every day!

I like the idea of webp. But ugh it's annoying that I can't easily share it. My main way to communicate with some folks I'm close with is Messenger and it doesn't support webp. So to send people funny pictures, I have to screenshot and crop.

Yeah! Canadian elections are still far from perfect. We still have first past the post and the size of constituencies can vary wildly. But it's still vastly better than what Americans have. Elections Canada is very good at being non partisan and having reasonable rules for voting. There's countless options for ID and even options if you have absolutely no ID.

lol, twenty fucking twenty four. I know the court system can be a little slow, but this is ridiculous. And I'm not sure how much faith I have that it won't just get delayed. Trump has constantly gotten away with shit for too long and continues to do so.

Upload them to a site like https://catbox.moe, which has much higher limitations.

Gave Some More News a try and I like it! Feels like a longer, more unshackled John Oliver. Somehow even the ads in the video were amusing.

Browsers put em in the downloads folder, but every other app is a wild west for me. Most Reddit and messaging apps I had downloaded to their own little folder.

For all apps? Eg, chrome for me doesn't do that for any of my phones (including on a Pixel).
