It doesn’t say it’s voluntary, it says there were voluntary pilot programs within the larger initiative, which, as far as I can tell, is not voluntary.
Also, there can be harsh penalties including being put on blacklists that prevent you from traveling or your children from receiving education.
Capybara are dangerous?! Do they kill by biting or what?
I would assume insects would be evolutionarily similar to other types or prey.
Although I’m not sure most bats have forward facing eyes anyway.
But will what replaces it be any better?
Doubtful.
It’s pretty clear that deepseek is not open source, or at least shouldn’t be considered within the spirit of open source.
It seems like if we want to have truly open source llms, a new standard for transparency is needed.
Seems like something other states should get in on. Now that the program is established seems like it would not be as hard to pay into it and get a share of the product.
You know they’re going to start making ads out of these now.
If only there was some way we could have known he wasn’t a good guy. Like if, for example, he had famously said it’s good for the economy to poison poor people. Or if he had resigned in disgrace as president of the nation’s university top university after making bigoted comments and involvement in a case of fraud. Or spearheaded the deregulation of the finance industry that directly led to the housing crisis. Just hypothetically, if someone had done all those things, no sane person would invite them to be on one of the most important and powerful corporate boards.
Right?
My group has had not one but multiple independent adventuring grannies over the years.
Yeah this is a tricky one. Modern gold standards are to use cameras to recognize pedestrians and cyclists to give them intersection priority. This is a big benefit if designed properly but video data this way poses a huge privacy/surveillance risk.
I suppose maybe there would be a way to process the footage locally and delete it as soon as it’s no longer needed but that’s going to require a lot of oversight from the community to confirm.
I just want to explain the very clever double entendre here because I’m not sure how many people will get it.
Skunk cabbage is notable for blooming in late winter, even when snow is still on the ground. How can a flower bloom in snow? Well, it actually generates its own heat, which can be enough to melt the snow around it and allow pollinators to reach the flower. This heat can be extremely important to early season pollinators, since they can rest and warm up in the flower even when it might otherwise be too cold to fly.
So that spathussy really do be hot.
Yeah I think that can be a trap a lot of newer DMs can fall into, not understanding the difference between mediums like TV, movies, or books and the collective nature of D&D stories. Really extended sequences that require things to go a certain way are risky in D&D because you never know what the players will do!
This particular character was more of the penultimate evil dude and was also a former ally that betrayed them. So it was more of his motives for why he did what he did.
In the grand scheme of things it wasn’t a huge deal they just thought oh well that guy went crazy or something rather than understanding his personal motives which would have made the overall plot a little more coherent.
The issue was a lot of the events had already happened. So the plot just ended up making less sense than it should have. His speech was more about his motives and why he betrayed the party since he was a former ally.
But yeah maybe I should have brought him back (since they never saw the body and he was an archfey) but I never saw the right time for it and that campaign ended.
lol this happened in a campaign I was running. I foolishly thought the villain should reveal details of his evil plan across rounds of combat. And also that it would be cool to have the battle on the backs of giant rocs.
You can probably see where this is going but let’s just say the battle lasted about 2 rounds.
Why would this bother me lol
This is way more common than wildlife biologists want to admit.
Touché but you know what I mean. It’s the most logical to have absolute zero be zero.
Yeah this is brainless pro-Soviet propaganda. All too common here, sadly.
