Large language models are not reasoning machines. They’re plausibility engines. It’s not just that they don’t test their outputs to make sure they’re correct or logical, or that they fail to do so in certain instances. They can’t, and they’ll never be able to on their own. They can only assess which answers are probable, based on the data on which the models have been trained. And that holds true whether they’re trained on the full breadth of human output or only on peer-reviewed scientific articles. It’s baked into the way they operate.

With the nightmares for QTBIPOC in the United States right now, it is so so telling that @officialpax.bsky.social has decided that 2026 is the year to cut support and funding for The PAX Intersection & its PTI programs that made a PAX safer & life changing event for devs & attendees of color alike.

I've seen how people get cranky over paying a Patreon or Twitch subscription when the creator(s) take a break. As if the idea of Paid Time Off should only be reserved for people with "real" jobs. It's like many content creators feel they have to get ahead of these things so they don't turn ugly.

I won't be at PAXU to assist running games with them but I'll put a plug in for @openthegatesgaming.bsky.social who are working to improve accessibility in the TTRPG/TCG space. Would also recommend checking out @dotsrpg.org who will be there too.

DnDBeyond is where WOTC can publish the "safe" brands with a proven track record like you said via Kickstarter. DMsGuild is the pit where they let everyone else publish. They don't have to concern themselves with moderation even if it's in the platform's best interest. Feature, not a bug, I bet.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

This slipped by the radar but WTAF?!?! For those not tracking, "iGaming products" is a really sterile and nice way of saying "online gambling products". Honestly not the direction I saw happening for #D&D and making me happier I left it behind. igamingbusiness.com/company-news...

I think people broadly underestimate the labor that goes into producing *anything*. Whether it's a book or a consumer product. The simpler the end product appears to be, the simpler the assumptions often seem to be.

I'd ask Mika how well did appeasement go for Poland, historically. And now I can't trust their reporting on him/his administration. They bent the knee. We know in Trump's mind you're either with him or against him.

Man, you grow up thinking you'll get to live in times where progress has been imperfect, but steady. Times that generations have fought for and built with their blood, sweat, and tears. Yeah millennials got shafted but we've adapted and adjusted our expectations and aspirations. But then...
