Don’t worry. The next generation will use generative algorithms to make fake images that are indistinguishable from the real deal.

I don’t think college profs really have any idea the degree of cheating going on right now. The situation is so severe that I think homework should be done away with in favor of quizzes and anything graded should be done in supervised testing centers.

I can’t help but this of my aging apple MacBook. I once had full functioning, non subscription versions of both windows office suite and Adobe photoshop and illustrator. Neither of those packages of software work now and the integral MacBook battery is swelling and a would be a total pain to replace.

Hey there, author here. Glad to answer any questions.

If you don't know how to play backgammon, check out this guide[0] and/or this video[1]. There is a lot of history[2] behind backgammon. bgammon.org is AGPL-licensed, the client[3] and server[4] source code is publicly available. The graphical client is powered by the excellent Ebitengine[5] game engine.

It might be worth while looking at lichess and take some direction from their interface, which is quite nice.

Yeah but then also take it further.

They originate from modern society & it's need to cater to sensitivities. And that's a sentiment that's in general pretty well supported here.

It's the likes of Elon, hated here, that are the one's fighting this.

LLM's censorship is a symptom of a much wider problem. For instance we see it partially causing lots of mental anxiety: the world should bent to my anxiety instead of learning to deal with stress. But also in much more difficult topics that simply can't be discussed anymore and therefore continue to fester on.

Even a 5 year old knows the difference between need and want.
