Something I saw on french media last night: How did they train AI to think? By making it read millions of pages. Humans can do this too, to learn to think. Read.

Surprised myself with how much of my french I recall as I read Balzac in the 1834 original. Every word and sentence is understood fully, save the occasional technical jargon of architecture, but which my Kobo’s dictionary feature quickly remedies. Last night I likewise read Molière.

I spent several hours last night and several hours today writing down a transcript of the third hour of an obscure youtube video of a french twitch stream in which the people did a session zero for a rpg game they play with the audience over multiple sessions. 10000 channel points to who knows which

There is something in solo ttrpg in mysteries that mirrors the preference between pantsing and plotting. When you want to act as the character and not know how the mystery will unfold, you want pantsing. When the mystery is clear and resolved in your head but you act as though the character does

@evlynmoreau.bsky.social also, you’re working on a solo ttrpg, yes? or am I confused?

@thegrouchcouch.bsky.social I had a weird idea for a post-apocalypse game. You know the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone? Yes. Okay. Same concept, but a zone in southern Ukraine after the end of the Russia-Ukraine war where they managed to corral all the autonomous robots they were not able to deactivate.

Something I just wrote: “In the moment of writing it seems normal to have written. Later, after we have lived a little more, our words look back at us from a past which has already disappeared; they are beacons from the deepening darkness lighting our forward progress in some bleak glimmer.”

I went to a gaming store in los angeles and I asked if they have the book Mythic Gamemaster Emulator 2nd edition, and the clerk looked at me with strange eyes. He asked: “Is that D&D?” I said no, and I was disappointed, then left after he added, “then we don’t have it.” #ttrpg

Ohh, prediction time from my brain: Everything on the internet will be deleted and made impossible to search except throught AI, and individuals hosters will be de-normalized as unsafe. But eveything in social media: all the accounts, will become unavailable.

Slowing down matters when I write. I write about 20 words a minute by hand. people read at about 230-300 words a minutes. So I am writing at 0.08x. I am reminded of that when I write descriptions and dialogue. I am creating in slow motion.
