@scopique @belghast How's the new instance? I'm considering moving to a more focused local community.
A.I. Like ChatGPT Is Revealing the Insidious Disease at the Heart of Our Scientific Process

It seems like we’re just weeks away from a tsunami of fake papers hitting the peer-reviewed literature.

Please stop laughing at CatGPT. Please stop sharing this picture. It's not funny. This is a slippery slope. It might only meow for now, but what's next? What will our cats do if CatGPT takes their jobs? Do we really want artificial intelligence to sleep all day? To scoff at the $50 worth of cat food you just purchased? To knock your full glass of water over and feel zero remorse when it shatters on the floor? Call me a Luddite, but I believe we must destroy CatGPT to protect our feline friends.

@Belghast is there a way on PC or phone app to show the public feed of a specific masto server? I'd like to browse other servers without going to that server? Like the local feed, but not my local.

Why have I never seen anyone talk about the idea of a #HalfLife #ttrpg mini campaign?

PCs are random scientists, security guards, and technicians in Black Mesa when the place shakes and power goes out. Get out of the place and survive.

For an 8 to 12 hour campaign, making a complete #ptba hack would be overkill, but surely there must be plenty of suitable systems already.

Rereading "American Gods" by @neilhimself I don't remember the details, but remembered loving it when it came out. Now I'm sharing it with my kid and rediscovering it for myself.
