Quarterly Financial Targets? Questionable Functionality and Technology?

Perhaps they will pool together enough widespread stories of issues with AI (drones, surveillance, misleading advertising, etc) and create a political movement to try to ban or regulate it; only to then have their movement co-opted by the people who just want to get paid.

Isn't this basically the same structure they currently use i.e. individual contributors, managers, and producers?

Do we know how much choice OpenAI has with the arrangement? They call it a "request", but could they have been ordered directly?

its always seemed like a prank to me; and I'm impressed that he never broke during the performance to ask "are you people really falling for this???"

They're victims of success. Lautrec was so infamous some people (read: me) are too scared to play the game without a guide now. "What if I missed some NPC and I can't level up anymore?!"

I don't see how having homeless people everywhere in LA and SF is related to whether they have a functional legislature. Is there some law that California could pass to solve homelessness and they're just too dysfunctional to do so?

What is the banksy lie?

A lot of those words were explaining why they're excited to develop software for it.

What did you want them to write about instead?

Are there a lot other TTRPGs that have some software required to run them? Also this sounds like it would be fun to play based on these examples in the rules:

> Example 3: Brody declares his character's intent: "I want Wasp to display her stripes and scare the living beejeesus out of the Worker Bees! I want her to dive in towards them, buzzing menacingly and waving her abdomen around in, like, a threatening and provocative manner! I want them to run away screaming from buzzing, venomous DEATH! BzzZZZzzZZZZzz!"

> Example 4: Cody negotiates with the GQ: "But Wasp is Venomous so she can display her Stinger and maximise the intimidation of the Minor Termite Soldiers".

I wonder what the origin of the fd100 system is. I haven't heard of it before.

Publishing on your own website is more akin to putting up a signboard on your front lawn than writing a book for publication.

People are free to view it and take pictures for their own records, but I could still take it down and put something else up.

Netflix already has interactive content: see Bandersnatch and Minecraft: Story Mode.
