An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.
The A.I.-Profits Drought and the Lessons of History

some interesting historical context re: stories of "chatGPT-induced psychosis" is that when the radio and telephone were invented, there were similar reactions — some people believed they could tune their radio to the frequencies of heaven or received instructions from the dead via the telephone

Here's the full wrap-around of the cover of the Pendragon GM's Handbook, one of a set I did for the new edition of what is in my opinion one of the greatest RPGs ever written. It shows Lancelot receiving his shield from Viviane, Lady of the Lake (underneath the surface of the lake, no less!).

I tend to avoid discussing politics on social media, preferring real life discussions for such things. I'm making an exception today. As a U.S. citizen and voter, I stand with Ukraine and I stand with Europe. The Kremlin-led cartel occupying the White House does not speak for all Americans.
