Mostly Neverwinter Nights.
We've had more active players on the server I DM for, so I've been popping in more often to run quests and ambience for all the newbies.

To be clear: I 100% think people should be able to enjoy their things without being robbed, public or no.
I'm not amused, just glad I have different habits.
Fair point.
Let me be perfectly clear that I think you should be able to look at your phone 24/7 without getting robbed.
Still glad I don't, though.
Not blaming the victim here, just glad I have different habits.
Stories like this make me glad I'm not one of those people glued to my phone 24/7.
It's way harder to snatch it when it's in your pocket.
But the fun of these stories is when someone writes an article about the thieves trying to scam the victim into giving up their codes. That's always amusing.
Yeah, that'll be misused. Without a doubt.
What an awful development.
I love the idea of using AI as tool for studying the past, because conceivably, you can train it on every piece of art and writing a particular civilization ever produced and it can analyze that information in a more thorough and efficient way than a human. In my head I hope it's possible to see ancient cities, or dinosaurs, or battles in historically accurate (and safe) VR experiences one day.
The problem is, as we've seen, AI tools are trained on garbage and stolen IP and none of the companies producing these tools care to differentiate between junk and good data, so the information these systems produce is always going to require human validation.
What then is the point? Yes, the image may be pretty and look suitably historic, but we can't really trust a tool trained on shit not to spit out bad information.
What's the argument against it being illegal? This seems like a no-brainer.
I spent part of the last two weeks reading 'Bad Blood', a book about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos, and how they mishandled and faked test results, creating problems for many of their customers. It just seems obvious to me that this kind of deception and fraud is particularly immoral.
If you know how to fix this where I can get qualified competent medical assistance with my issues before they snowball together and murder me, please tell me how because I cannot solve this.
I wish I did, man.
Stories like yours are what I think of every time someone tries to tell me we have "access" to health care, when the reality is we were all sold as a commodity to the health industry by people we elected to protect us.
I respect your honesty. I think gun control's going to take a few steps backward before then, myself. We'll see how it goes.
Just the thought of DIY medicine scares me, and honestly, it's sad that such a thing has to exist.
That's wonderful news to read.
