Naw, we were frustrated with D&D's lack of direction on many issues--especially experience points. AD&D was a godsend in many ways and held far more interest for everyone I knew.

I still have my circa 1977 D&D boxed set (minus the box) and my copy of Chainmail. They are in great condition because they didn't get used much. My AD&D books, on the other hand, are absolutely beat to hell.

Would monsieur prefer a vinaigrette or Caesar dressing for his word salad?

It's amusing when kids babble about history they didn't live through and I did. As the owner of a first edition, first printing Dungeon Master's Guide I bought the day it hit the game shop shelf in 1979, I say [citation missing]

What kind of dumbass would trust this technology to act for them?

I'll book my own damn plane tickets--and it says something about the fatuous privileged clowns behind some of these features that this is something (along with making restaurant reservations) people really need.

The words coming from the LLM aren't the problem, the idiot who naively executes them (and thereby assumes responsibility for the results) is the real problem. We had a lot of this kind of thing in the early days of the Internet, it's not a new issue at all.

In all of the crimes or torts you mention, intent is central. Until we achieve AGI, that's missing.

If my toaster starts talking smack about me to my garbage disposal, I'll definitely sue.

I don't know which banana republic you live in, but here in the USA the Department of Justice has this to say:

A reasonable understanding of the subject would give you to understand the main thrust is about knowledge of the illegality of the actions committed and the intent. Mens rea is central here, and words are just a possible manifestation of same.

You seem to not be aware of the comical effects of such attempts.

But gtfo with your nannybot just on general principles. If you want a browser plugin to shield you from such things, I'm cool with that. But I am an adult and words emitted by a computer pose no risk to me (assuming they can't self-execute as code).

Sounds like classic PEBKAC to me.

You know, we have people doing stupid hateful shit to each other all the time because of what they read in some "holy" book. Do we blame the book? Some stupid people do, yes, but the responsibility properly belongs to the person doing stupid hateful shit.

History has taught us that suppression of ideas is both bad and fruitless, but now it seems we have two generations that grew up in the wake of 9/11 that are completely on board with censorship because of Karl Popper memes or other dumbass reasons.

So ... words emitted from a large language model in response to a prompt supplied by a human are going to clog your inbox, reveal your porn habits, and drain your bank account?

I guess we achieved AGI and I missed the news ...

40 years ago the moral panic was about Dungeons & Dragons, and now it's AI.

Whatever happened to the idea of human agency and personal responsibility?

You:

Wow, man, it's a mystery! I don't know, and it doesn't matter. How do you feel about it? That's the important thing, not what a person actually says.

The idea that words generated by a computer program can cause "harm" is a hallmark of the decay of Western culture.

I have a pallet of (36) 390W panels (14kW) in a shopping cart on that site for US$5,453.00 out the door with sales tax, shipping, and shipping insurance. That's a little under 39 cents/W delivered to my door. About $1,040.00 of that is shipping, taxes, and insurance.

Around 30 cents/watt qty. 4 here:
