    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    To a degree, maybe. I don't think you could operate a society with more than 20% explicitly evil people. Societies only work because most people want to cooperate most of the time. What percentage of people are evil, and what percentage of those people get away with it or are even rewarded...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    imo, anything in D&D where "all X are Y" or "99.999% of X are Y" is boring, with the explicit exception of planar/outsider stuff, because planar creatures are explicitly tied to elemental or ideological axis. All drow being evil does not make sense because they have something resembling a...

    Chat GPT AI

    It's not a matter of 'trust.' We know exactly what the GPT base model does. It is a fact, it is just a statistical representation of word frequency in relation to other words. That you can get a bunch of things that look like emergent behavior when you start applying a bunch of RLHF and other...

    Chat GPT AI

    It's not going out and 'finding' anything. The GPT model is just a single number, billions of digits long, that represents a statistical model of how every possible token aka word relates in frequency to the word before it. This number was generated from a pre-training run. There's other...

    Chat GPT AI

    No. Human language acquisition works somewhat the same way, with a bunch of additional layers. These things don't even have a knowledge schema, they are not anywhere close to a brain. Integrated Consciousness is very clearly something else entirely. What surprises me more is AI image...

    Chat GPT AI

    It understands math only from a language and token manipulation standpoint. It does not 'do math.' If you want to do math, use the Wolfram Alpha plugin. Ironically, the base ChatGPT model was better at math before the RLHF. Once the RLHF layers were applied, it actually lost the ability to...

    Battlefield 2042

    2142 was the most innovative for sure. Boarding the titans was so fucking cool. BC2 was the best but BF3 was also great. I still love Operation Metro Rush, I thought it was one of the most well-paced maps they've ever done.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Would have a hard time calling Horizon an RPG. It doesn't even have builds, you eventually get enough skill points to get everything. There are really no 'meaningful' choices. It is less of an RPG than Mass Effect. It's an open-world adventure game where you have customizable equipment with...

    There's trading. Legendaries are not the highest tier of gear, sacred/ancestral rares are (endgame rares with 4 and 5 mods, that you add a legendary aspect to.) And they can be traded until you start modifying them.
