The truth about editing TTRPGs is that even the best books by the most experienced designers/developers contain way more errors than you think. Not because the creators are bad at their jobs—it just reflects the truly immense complexity of our books. To catch all those takes a huge amount of work!

I don’t know why, but out of nowhere the story of the “Sword of Damocles” came to mind today.
When I looked it up, this line from Wikipedia stopped me cold:
“Though having much fortune, [he was] always having to watch in anxiety against dangers that might try to overtake him.”

I've been in internal discussions on "AI adoption" at my company and I really cannot understate how much of this is a solution DESPERATELY looking for a problem. Quite literally every moment is like cavemen finding a shiny crystal and trying to figure out what magic it can do.
There's a reason for that: everything since the smartphone has more or less been developed with a cargo cult mentality.
They're not trying to make a useful technology that will be adopted naturally. They just want the resulting investment boom and growth so any real utility is of secondary concern.

another hidden/externalized cost and form of theft in AI is the bots for Meta etc are blowing up site hosting charges of pages they're looting for information to take credit for. profits go to meta and others, made possible by costs spread to all the operators of sites they're crawling to steal from
Last month AI crawlers generated 90% of my site's traffic, forcing me to pay penalties
Problem solved after moving nameservers to Cloudflare+turning on AI crawler blocking.
Site monthly outbound data back to ~40GB per month, down from 800GB (!!) No impact on human visitors
