how does our library go? by tfgrognon
You're a library & you're in motion. A travelling library game for one or more.

Anyway. I wrote a one-page ttrpg this summer, the first one since that disastrous experience.

this entire thread is very good
But when things being published are just handfuls of empty tropes, I feel like I'm not taking in someone's observed reality, but rather their third-hand account of something they heard once. It's like being on the very end of a game of telephone, and the message is dull, muffled, flat.

Isn't Travis McElroy still holding their hands??
amazing how yet another round of "you have to promise you'll vote for the shitbag years in advance" reveals itself to have nothing to do with strategy and pragmatics and everything to do with "i am scared and anxious and everyone on the internet needs to promise me everything will turn out alright"

this is the flipside of "what if libraries were bars for adults who were scared of loud noises" and "what if libraries could also do laundry????" discourse you see people with terminal whimsy bring up.
A vivid example of "mission creep" and "libraries aren't essential services except when they're told to be" that are creating a mental health hellscape for library workers.

A point I make in my work on this subject is that we need to reject the insistance that convos abt commercial AI products should be about the tech. Determining whether AI is “conscious” is a Smartwashing exercise in solipcism that distracts from the material conditions of the product’s distribution
