I had a quite literally hottest character I ever came up with: A wizard that liked fire a bit too much for his own good. He was a master of flames, the best from the Monastery he spent decades on. But the more power he gained through the fire, the more and more he lost his own mind. At the time of the campaign, he was in a sort of Limbo. He couldn't remember most of his life, and he couldn't shake off the insatiable desire to spread the flames he encountered. If he spent too long besides a fire, he would start to hear It louder and louder, to the point where he would lose control and be possessed by his flaming desire, which had full memory and access to the spells he no longer remembered, which often resulted in the complete destruction of everything around.

I actually got to play this character, and was a ton of fun with the party I had, but unfortunately the campaign was put on hold indefinitely due to personal matters of the DM.

It's extremely hard to give a machine a sense of morality without having to manually implement it on every node that constitutes their network. Current LLMs aren't even aware of what they're printing out, let alone understand the moral implications from that.

The day a machine is truly aware of the morality of what they say, in addition to actually understanding it, then we truly have AI. Currently, we have gargantuan statistical models that people glorify into nigh-godhood.

I know one person who does. And, of course, everyone thinks he lost his marbles.

For games, I still pirate them for a couple of reasons, one of them being monetary. However, if the game is good, I buy the game afterwards to support the developers, and if it's bad, they won't see a dime from me. I might be a pirate, but I have honor.

I'd rather wait until 2025 than having a Cyberpunk 2.0. I waited 10 years, I think I can handle 1 or 2 more.

That is an abomination. I will probably use it in a not-so-distant future.

If I could choose any way to be executed, it would be to be at the epicenter of a nuclear bomb with enough force to instantly obliterate me. In a moment I exist, and in the other I don't.

Else, nitrogen is painless and effective.

Or the option that happens in practice: You are just forgotten and people stop contacting you.

People don't like change, and will resist it. How much depends on the person.

Firefox also installs telemetry and data reporting functions like most browsers, also libraries like libwebp, which are prone to critical vulnerabilities (as seen), encryption systems like Encrypted Client Hello, and software like Pocket, which some users never use, but it's still there.

Any browser will install many features that probably won't be used. Saying that a browser that installs a feature like Tor or VPN (which aren't even hidden, Brave publicly present those features) is automatically bad doesn't sound reasonable to me.

Youtube controls the servers. The backend trumps all frontends.

If I could, you can bet your ass I would.

I most definitely did and helped the Data Hoarder archive.
