But if AI learns from us...

Westley?

Drinking

Why would anyone want to drink something that tastes awful, so they can have a night of fun they probably won't remember, and wake up feeling awful?

If I'm gonna have a fun night, I want to remember it, not hear about it from others. And the risks are too great. Risk of doing something stupid I would never normally consider that could embarrass, injure, or kill myself or others.

If that's your idea of fun, more power to you, but I'll pass.

I understand

Forgot about the phone, you'll never guess what I call that one...

When you have a lot of devices like my family, it just makes everything easier to give descriptive names like that.

Lastname-Server

I know, I'm boring. But at least my laptop and desktop have cool names:

Firstname-Laptop

Firstname-Desktop

Bench grinder, sledgehammer, and thermite all work on phones too!

Deep space radar telemetry

Revolt.chat is quite similar to discord and open source. They do run a centralized server to make it easy for everyone to get onboard, but it can be self hosted as well.

That being said, I still don't use it because nobody else does, and that's the problem with all chat and social media apps.

Same here. I've never had a reason to switch away.

We allow a marmot to predict our weather.

Everything is better flat

Yep

Alrewdy can. At least through Home Assistant, can even be set as your default assistant on Android through the HA companion app

I just integrated it into Home Assistant last week and it can now control my lights and tell me temperature in different rooms and interact with any smart devices in my home, in addition to everything regular ChatGPT can do. I also integrated elevenlabs voice so it sounds like a posh British gentleman. Then I named him Jarvis of course.

It's been pretty entertaining, but more of a gimmick than truly useful.

When me and my younger brother were little, we were outside playing and digging in the snow with an old claw hammer from the barn. It must have been shortly after watching the classic Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

I got the bright idea to tell him to stick the claw of the hammer in the snow, then pull it out and lick it, just like Yukon Cornelius does, and maybe we could find gold.

Needless to say, tongue + ice cold metal hammer were quite the match and he was stuck instantly. Being as little as we were he panicked and ripped it off, along with a large thick chunk of tongue skin. Quite a bit of red snow that day...

I remember getting in trouble for that one. My parents definitely thought I tricked him on purpose, but I couldn't have been more than 8 or so and definitely did not. I also remember that hammer sitting outside for the rest of the winter, with a chunk of tongue still frozen to it.

I think a better analogy would be paying for an all you can eat buffet, but every time you go up for a plate, Google shovels some of whatever they want onto it.

Oh sure, they try to guess what you might like by tracking your eating habits every time you visit the restaurant, but they still keep putting crap you don't want on your plate that gets in the way of what you do want.

Oh, and also, some all you can eat buffets have a plate limit, after so many plates, you can only get a spoonful per trip. And Google still crams on stuff you don't want.

It's great at coming up with ideas for magic items, monsters, traps, plot hooks, etc.

I ran a Christmas session last year, it was a dream session so I handed out tons of magic items cause they wouldn't be keeping them. ChatGPT generated every single one, and I didn't tweak anything at all. Which made for a few interesting items with redundant or contradictory stats, but that was explained by it being a dream.

I have used it many times to give ideas for new items, new monsters, etc. Recently I was creating a blood-themed dungeon and asked for monster ideas and it gave me an Animated Bloodpuddle (reflavored Gelatinous Cube with extra abilities), and a Hemogoblin (ravenous blood thirsty goblins). There were others but those ones stuck out as cool and ended up being quite fun for the party.

Yep. I've been using Obsidian/Syncthing for about 2 years now. It has been 100% flawless for me. Changes sync across devices within seconds.
