Anyway, amusing myself by asking people what their favourite mythologies were growing up, and now

Things at my workplace are just... *long sigh*

Structural issues.

#RPG night tonight, and it's #l5r fornthe first long campaign in a long, long while.

I couldn't really concentrate on what char to make, wo I'm going with an old faithful: Kuni Purifier

YT comment: 'not hating on people into astrology (I'm into myers-briggs), but I think people who are, they look for one characteristic of that personality type that the person has and use that to say 'oh, of course you are... '

Good morning folks

I'm gonna say it again: loneliness and involuntary isolation are the prime causes of a lot of problems.

AI induced psychosis is a hell of a fuckin drug:

Like, there's a fucking part in chargen for Shadow of the Beanstalk for Genesys.

That's just... Not in the fucking book.

It's referenced in other steps.

But step X? Not there.

It's in the fucking core book, but there's zero telegraphing that.

Obviously 'designed', eh?

Just absolute fucking clownshoes if you think I can pull any RPG sourcebook and find what I need in it.

Listen, man, put the LLMs on your own scale, or whatever, but if you put humans up against them in a comparison:

Be honest in what you're doing.

Because, holy fucking shit, an RPG sourcebook is VERY RARELY actually fucking good.

There's a post on r/rpg about someone trying to use AI for their stuff, then walking back a bit, and it's got problems, but it's not bad.

BUT.

Then in one part, they're like:

> when you read a rulebook you do it knowing it was designed to be studied and learned.

Oddly enough, chatgpt was my 'favourite', but I actually use Gemini for rando generic stuff and copilot for code more than I have used chatgpt lately.

Had a quick dabble into #GPT5

Wowww, it's shit, and the token limit for the free tier is pitiful.

Ah well.

(this is, of course, not the same as 'this is the only horse in town', which I very much also understand... sometimes, you gotta ride the only mule that's around

... but often, what seems like the only mule isn't the only mule because people aren't willing to look, too.)

#Gamedev land was the same.

People just trusting, blindly, that a corporation will always be there, and never alter the agreement.

... with full stacks of evidence that various services have been shuttered before, and the agreement is constantly under reconsideration (by them, not you)

'Yes, but under fair use, I ca-'

... and they will take you to court, and you may win.

... and then they'll appeal, and you may win.

... and then they'll keep doing this to you, until you can no longer afford a lawyer, and you're done.

While I *do* understand the attraction of these things, I'm always genuinely a bit 'I see' when someone hinges their entire livelihood on... someone else's IP.

Just straight up, you're in someone else's playground, they WILL turn around and notice you at some point.

... and it's gonna be their […]

Kinda feel like there's two groups of people in the world.

Those that know almost every fucking corporation is a litigious piece of shit, and kids who think their Pokemon fan-game won't get C&Ded.

That's it, that's the two circles on the venn diagram.

It's like going up to someone and being like 'listen, man, I don't know if you know this, but recording labels kinda fuck you up i-'

yeah, we all know that, man.

I've got someone who does 3rd party models for 40k-adjacent stuff trying to tell me why they have to walk a line or else Games Workshop will fuck them, and yeah, man, I might happen to know alllll about this, given that I know anything at all, about Warhammer/40k

@octade Short answer: nope, won't do what you hope, and will fuck people with screenreaders.

Ok, I cleaned something up and went from 100kb in dataset to 800kb and... hrm

Keep original txt files, but when breaking them down into dataset, turn it into an ODS file with <columns> and a Prompt to Generate column and a Response column, then a tool can just come along and yank all the P-R pairs into jsonl

Cause right now, I've got random shit everywhere - some turn […]

Wasn't planning to overhaul EVERYTHING about how I keep my datasets, but... things were sprawling out of control, and I need to pull shit back in so I have stuff in consistent formats.
