An AI CEO finally said something honest
(Meta
Dax Raad from anoma.ly might be the only CEO speaking honestly about Al right now.
His most recent take:
"everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code
here's what things actually look like
- your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping
- majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life
- they're not using Al to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend
- the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon
- even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real
- your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills"
someone in AI fucked up and actually told the truth

I love hippos. I do. But their snouts trigger my trypophobia something fierce.
I guess I can only love hippos from a distance. Which is probably not the worst idea I've ever had.

Did I also turn this into a class warfare situation, with the workers complaining about poor working conditions and turning on their boss?
Yes. Yes I did.

They talked their way out of most of the fights, which was fun, but then a couple of them got bored and turned full murderhobo, which was also fun. I think five goblins survived, but not the boss.

Of course, that's at 1st level. They all get more complicated at higher levels. I know that. But for kids who are just starting on their TTRPG journey, it's a good intro for sure.
If you're wondering, we played "Grammy's Country Apple Pie".

For the last few years I've mostly played Pathfinder, so re-learning D&D (5e but 2014 because those are the books we all have) has been interesting. As someone who grew up with fucking THAC0, I never thought I'd say "I like how uncomplicated D&D is!" but here we are!

Spent most of yesterday playing D&D with Dean and his friends (and one other mom) - which was amazing and super fun and it seems 35 years of playing table-top RPGs has, in fact, well-prepared me for the other side of the screen.

I have zero faith that they won't Leroy Jenkins literally everything they meet. But one of their moms is also coming over to play, so maybe she can be the voice of reason!

I'm trying not to do to them what my first DM did to me when I started playing. I remember one day where I rolled up at least four characters. The final one, which (ironically) survived to about 6th or 7th level was an elven druid named Temporaryl.

Thank you! I have already downloaded a few freebies (they're coming over today to play Grammy's Country Apple Pie so I can get a feel for how they play together). I suspect that will be right up their alley!

They're mostly 13-16 years old, so I'm guessing probably murder hobos? But you never know...

Ok, D&D nerds... after 35 years of sitting on the player's side of the DM's screen, I'm jumping over to the other side to run a game for Dean and his friends. I'm excited. They're excited!
Hit me with your suggestions for fun (and inexpensive, pwyc, or free) low-level campaigns for 5e!

comic:
when it happens I hope people ring bells and blow horns.
if I'm asleep I hope to be woken. I won't mind.
if I'm in traffic I hope to see revelers. If it causes a traffic jam I won't mind.
I don't want to exist a moment not knowing that it has happened.

Every morning, I fill two large travel mugs with coffee.
I then drink those while I work.
Sometimes I drink both without noticing and then I'm sad when I reach for a mug I think is full and it's empty, but today the opposite happened.
I hope this is a good omen!
