Hi! I'm Ben I write code for a living - mostly web-related, and I keep telling myself I'm gonna make a video game one day. I'm a big fan of ttrpgs as well. Don't be surprised if I end up just getting on here to like posts 😄

werner herzog on AI filmmaking (from here www.indiewire.com/features/int...)
Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.

A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.

Well, what I always say, "I just want everybody to be treated good." I try not to get into the politics of everything. I try to get into the human element of it. I have some of everybody in my own immediate family and in my circle of employees. I've got transgender people. I've got gays. I've got lesbians. I've got drunks. I've got drug addicts — all within my own family. I know and love them all, and I do not judge.

And I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are. I know how important this is to them. That's who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton, you know, the way people know me. If there's something to be judged, that is God's business. But we are all God's children and how we are is who we are.

Dolly Parton could have been a billionaire. She could have simply used her money to make more money. Instead, she wrote a fuckin' check whenever it was helpful for her to write a check. Any of these assholes have the capability to be her, but none of them have the heart.

This is the kind of tech innovation I want to see. Slightly less convenience (both parties must have their browsers open for the duration of the transfer) for way more peace of mind (nobody else can see, monetize, or train robots off your files).

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

The XKCD comic titled average familiarity, with the text changed to a different subject matter.

Person 1: Indie ttrpgs are second nature to us enthusiasts, so its easy to forget that the average person only knows fabula ultima or one or two pbta games

Person 2: And Lancer, of course
Person 1: Of course

Text box: Even when they're trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity with their field
