    Clarification regarding AI policy

    Reliable, detection of AI generated text, without false positives, is impossible in practical terms. If it was possible to create a consistent, objective process that said "yes it's AI" reliably, that procedure could, and would, be used to train LLMs to generate better outputs. And by better, I...

    Clarification regarding AI policy

    Frankly, while it might be helpful to know and refer to them using AI in some specific contexts, such as specific kinds of "AI slop" - i.e. over-represented lexical patterns - the truth is there's no such thing as poor quality *because* of AI, because it's still the author's responsibility to...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    I mean... yes, I "made it up." It's speculation based on what we do see, about things we don't see. I don't think it's comparable to "the Simurgh did it" though :V Out of curiosity, what exactly would you envision your preferred writing choices looking like? Like. Suppose the E88 / the part...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    I am conflating them in this context, actually, yes. Here's why. Kaiser recieves a new recruit. She's mostly an unknown to him. She asserts that she wants to join the E88 because it is the right thing to do. Oh, and she wants some money. But that first bit is important, here-- even if she...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Yes? I feel like fundamentally there is this expectation-slash-desire that Nazi's aren't people. And that, if they aren't people, there should be nothing to sympathize with, ever, and therefore if you feel any then they are not really Nazi's. But my point is that not only is that...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    To be honest I never understood what all the fuss was about. As far as I could tell the E88 in the story were clearly bad guys. They bribed, stole, smuggled, assaulted the police, attacked prisons and transports, and engaged in animal cruelty. They had little regard for due process, by which I...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Tell that to children starving in ditches. How much free will do they have? :V But also, if time is like a river, the Simurgh is like a dam-- it has no reason to care about each random droplet. The vast majority of human misery is not a deliberate product of any individual persons goals but...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    Fair, but he did so in an effect to get her to pay attention-- if she'd responded like a normal human being it would have happened like once and then she'd have taken things seriously. If she couldn't handle a single broken limb, she wouldn't be much use to the Empire anyway. To be clear...

    Charm Learning Shard (Worm/Exalted) (COMPLETED)

    To be fair, if you were a power-hungry Kaiser, would you assign your young new recruit of unknown temperament to all the nasty sides of the business? Whereas a carefully-curated, self-deprecating group of unserious part time Nazi's who totally only beat up criminals and stuff is the perfect...

    As someone who only read it on SB, are we talking just censoring out words or more substantial content?

    It came and then went. When threadmarks were in their infancy, it had more utility. Then I accidentally fried that hard drive (along with the mobo) by trying to power two 1080 Ti's on the same power cable, and the sourcecode was lost. Not that I was maintaining the code... These days, I just...
