I like that, great way to hint at the roll without revealing it. I would like if my DMs did this, but I’ve only played in very combat-focused campaigns so rolls outside of fights were rare and narrative was scant.

The opposite would probably be worse, honestly.

Question. I’ve never DM’d obviously, but outside of combat I assumed the success threshold was something the DM made up on the spot based on how hard the task/situation should be and does not explicitly communicate that to the players. Is that what happens?

I would rather know my roll so I can imagine for myself how much of my character’s capability went into the attempt. Failing a check after rolling a 2 vs rolling a 19 affects how I play from then on, similar to how I think it would affect my character psychologically. If you try to climb a wall and fail without knowing the roll, would you try again? I hope that made sense.

Once you get to the second semicolon in the same sentence, I’m calling it journalistic malpractice.

8 commas

2 em dashes

2 semicolons

1 sentence

Yeah I feel you. I don’t think the content is necessarily bad, but LLM output posing as a factual post at a bare, bare minimum needs to also include the sources that the bot used to synthesize its response. And, ideally, a statement from the poster that they checked and verified against all of them. As it is now, no one except the author has any means of checking any of that; it could be entirely made up, and very likely is misleading. All I can say is it sounds good, I guess, but a vastly more helpful response would have been a simple link to a reputable source article.

You have yet to suggest or confirm otherwise, so my point stands that your original post is unhelpful and non-contributive

The issue is you didn’t confirm anything the text prediction machine told you before posting it as a confirmation of someone else’s point, and then slid into a victimized, self-righteous position when pushed back upon. One of the worst things about how we treat LLMs is comparing their output to humans – they are not, figuratively or literally, the culmination of all human knowledge, and the only fault they have comparable to humans is a lack of checking the validity of its answers. In order to use an LLM responsibly, you have to already know the answer to what you’re requesting a response to and be able to fact-check it. If you don’t do that, then the way you use it is wrong. It’s good for programming where correctness is a small set of rules, or discovering patterns where we are limited, but don’t treat it like a source of knowledge when it constantly crosses its wires.

My prediction is they’ll train an LLM on all his speeches and put before the supreme court that it can be president because it executes his will.

Sounds like a globe made of hands

Did you mean to paste a source link for that quote?

Holy fuck, an exception to Betteridge’s Law

How can you promise that? I’ll admit I didn’t fully understand it then, I didn’t have any deaths in my close family until much later, so I never had to reconcile with it.

In defense of nuance, I think this take is pretty unreasonable. I understand if you want to call people out for victim-blaming, but it’s very clear the commenter had no malicious intent by wondering about details about the tragedy. Why are we so eager for villains?

Do I even want to be in the loop on this one?

I think it’s going to get worse after he passes, because right now he has an active presence with its own will that his henchmen sort of have to listen to. After he goes, everyone around him is going to start doing some heinous shit “in his memory” or “because he would have wanted it”.

Refusing to discuss nuance is the problem

I mean they’ve clearly seen it before, just asking if this version came from the same creator as the original. I wondered the same thing. Also, way to not answer the question in a very verbose way lol

Read that as United Atlantic Vultures and did a double-take. Not so far off though.

Lead exposure from shooting ranges has been studied and contributes to aggressive behaviors.

Did you just turn Success Kid into an angry/upset reaction? Rude!
