do you still visit an X/Twitter account from time to time? are you Yud-skeptical?

my poll there about his upcoming AI doom book, "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies", could use some votes: x.com/gojomo/statu...
screenshot of a X poll post: "which classic Strangelovian remedy-for-AI-risks will feature most prominently in Yudkowsky's forthcoming IABIED ("If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies") book?" reply options are "whip up supersmart humans", "airstrike rogue AI plants", "GPU-eating nanoweapons", and "other / something new"

I was writing a thing about how smart-matter/nanoweapons are unsuitable for starships because given engagement ranges and prevalent space radiation, you'd basically be hurling blobs of seething necrotic robocancer at each other.

But that just makes it sound cooler than it is.

We're on www.twitch.tv/dndenial for the last session of our first campaign arc. Our #Shadowrun crew just discovered a favorite fixer may have enjoyed a lead brunch and have to tell their employer.

And maybe cry a little bit.

Join us for tears! (late start 830p ET/630p PT.)

A digital flyer for the Shadowrun TTRPG actual play "State of the Union" that runs on the @dndenial Twitch channel Tuesday nights at 730p ET/530p PT. On the left side are the 5 characters featured in the show, imposed over a silhouette of a city skyline. From left to right: "Blue Blood" - a wealthy, elf dilettante whose father is the lead nanoweapons developer at Ares Macrotechnology. She is wearing tight jeans over fishnet and white stilettos along with an orange crop top and red crop top jacket. She has large circle glasses and short pink hair. Her neon pink fingerless gloves show off her razor sharp nano-empowered nails. "Crash" - an elf decker (hacker) from the streets. He sports a multi-neon colored mohawk, uni-lens glasses, a pink shirt with the word "Shadowrun" across the chest, and a purple jacket along with dark grey jolts and black combat boots with pink highlights. "Sabre" - an ork "street samurai", she is wearing a hooded duster that hides any weapons she may be carrying. Her scarf and jacket highlights feature a green, red, and yellow tartan pattern. She has an undercut on the right side of her head and scars raking down her face from right to left. "Drift Kit" - a short human rigger, she serves as the teams getaway driver. Her light pink hair is styled in a pixie cut and she wears headphones with cat ears perched on top under a transparent pink helmet. She has a white, off-shoulder crop top with checkers on the front over a pink sweater with sleeves that are too long. She has blue racing pants and turquoise leg warmers. "Dog Day" - a human mage (druid). He has sturdy blue jeans and brown work boots, a white jacket with grey shoulder plates and is wearing a brown cowboy hat over short, tousled hair. The right side has the actual play title stylized in pink over a network pattern and the portrait images of the same five shadowrunners.

Tonight on www.twitch.tv/dndenial we make use of that lil cul-de-sac map I made as our #Shadowrun crew invades the suburbs, probably for a massive shoot out or something.

It's never for BBQ 😒

But stop in anyway and say hi! Tonight @ 730p ET/530p PT.

One of the runner's favorite fixers has been kidnapped and clues are pointing at a local go-gang. Now they gotta find where the bikers are hanging out and knock some heads around!

Stop by our Shadowrun AP, tonight @ 730p ET/530p PT.
