If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."
There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

one thing that going into town for the first time in weeks confirmed is that capitalism's breathless headlong rush towards Christmas is well in fucking effect

Hey there. We are all suffering from cognitive dissonance … people in Gaza are being starved, LGBTQIA & women’s rights rolled back, public media lost, disabled people targeted… and we are still being asked to live life as usual, go to work, butter toast. Some helpful thoughts from my work on grief:

Nearly every time I see someone talk about what they use AI for it's something I would never, ever use it for even if it didn't hallucinate all the god damn time.
I don't need it to fact check or summarise anything since actually reading things and looking into them is like... fun? And rewarding?

I'm going to talk about Roll20 first, because that's the graver issue as far as I'm concerned.
The full version of the article drills down on the specific passage that Roll20 took issue with, which is a section from Rebel Scum's author forward.

The amount of times I found a YouTube channel, start watching a video and thinking "this guy's pretty good" only for them to then immediately post AI slop on screen.
You do that, and I'm telling YouTube to never recommend your channel to me ever again.

There was a brief window when a popular internet gag was about forcing a bot to watch a bunch of something & then write it.
Like, "I forced a bot to watch 500 hours of CSI & write a script" followed by the funniest shit you ever read.
In the Age of AI Slop, the reality of that joke is way less funny

Hmm. Barons War looks intersting, but from what I can gather has a lot of tokens in play, and whilst i'm alright with tokens, I don't like a lot of 'em all the time.
Anyone point me at any good run-downs/actual plays?
Or recommend similar scale games without the tokens?

You could make observations about the general fecklessness of liberal parties like Labour, unable or unwilling to make things better due to an ideological spine removal.
But also sometimes they're just full of bigoted wankers who do the same shitty stuff as their conservative counterparts.

Started panelling & greebling the J-109 Atlas last night, with a 4 day weekend, hopefully I'll get a lot more done.
No real plan here, just sort of feeling my way through it.
I have Traveller to run on Monday, I should probably prep for that, too!

Kinda rough at first (cheap styrene & my shonky bladework), but sanding + first panels and greebles are pulling it together...
