Russia won the cold war. Reagan, that piece of shit, would be turning over in his grave. Especially since he removed the final road blocks.

I've spent all week working with DeepSeek to write DnD campaigns based on artifacts from the game Dark Age of Camelot. This week was just on one artifact.

AI/LLMs are great for bouncing ideas off of and using it to tweak things. I gave it a prompt on what I was looking for (the guardian of dusk steps out and says: "the dawn brings the warmth of the sun, and awakens the world. So does your trial begin." He is a druid and the party is a party of 5 level 1 players. Give me a stat block and XP amount for this situation.

I had it help me fine tune puzzle and traps. Fine tune the story behind everything and fine tune the artifact at the end (it levels up 5 levels as the player does specific things to gain leveling points for just the item).

I also ran a short campaign with it as the DM. It did a great job at acting out the different NPCs that it created and adjusting to both the tone and situation of the campaign. It adjusted pretty good to what I did as well.

As much as I agree, it will take things getting a lot worse before people do anything like that. A lot of the most heavily armed are the ones who voted for this. The pickup full of hillbillies are still in the denial phase. They still think things won't affect them, or that it'll be temporary. They are all for "those people" taking the brunt of the actions right now. They've convinced themselves that only the "libtards" are affected, and they aren't.

It's going to take a deep hit to their way of life for anything more than peaceful protests and voting advocacy (which definitely fucking vote) happens.

I just finished running a continuous (no parsing) DnD campaign with DS as DM!Other (www.dropbox.com)
 

I decided to test DS's ability to act as a DM. I have a small campaign that I had an outline for.

First, I ran the outline through DS and had it create a campaign out of my outline.

I next uploaded the outline and had DS run as DM. I played 2 characters. DS added a ton of flavor in there. Names, some general backgrounds and attitudes, names of places, etc.

The interactions were pretty good. It acted out the interactions with my characters. The interactions stayed in character, relevant to the world, relevant to the character's background, and relevant to the current events that had happened both in world and with my characters.

I ran it as 1 continuous chat. No parsing. No summary. I wanted to test the limits of DS and see how far I could push it until it majorly stumbled and went completely off the rails.

To my surprise, I was able to finish the entire campaign (short)! There were a couple of stumbles. Mainly in initiative order. I had to remind it a few times who's turn it was. There were 2 other places that I noticed outside of combat. All instances of stumbles only occured later in the campaign.

It started to try and voice for my characters. I reminded it not to and it didn't again.

When I returned to the beach of the island I landed on, the ship I came on was wrecked. That one I'm on the fence on. The waters around the island were treacherous, and it is completely within reason that the ship could have beached itself while I was gone on the island.

There is a story I had written that I had it make into a campaign. That one is a bit longer but still short compared to many other campaigns. I will try to run that one next. I'm downloaded all of the LLM sizes right now. I am probably going to try that locally hosted with the 158g one. I'm going to end up adding 128g ram soon. I will try the larger size DS LLMs after that.

I'm really curious to see just how far I can push it until it completely breaks down.

This is where I'm at. I'm already burnt out, and this shitberg we're sliding down has just started.

I'm doing what I can control. Making sure I'm armed (I fucking hate how nuts that makes me sound), trying to set some money aside and making sure I have my garden up and running so I can grow at least some of our own food.

I've got a wife and kids. I can't work due to what military service did to my body. So I can't see myself being able to leave the country if it comes to it. I'm not sure I'd want to leave it in control of these madmen anyway. My hope at this point is that we can just get to mid terms and have a legit election there. It'll be a shit show. There will be violence at polling places and ballot drop areas. There will be screaming of rigged election if the right loses (and I see that happening in a legit election due to their fuckery).

This has been the longest couple weeks ever. Longer than waiting on summer vacation out of school. Longer than the first day back to work after a month vacation.

I'm gonna go paint some minis and play some ark now. This was my 1 foray into social media for the day.

I'm scared for SSDI. I'm on VA disability and can't work. Without both I'm pretty screwed. There's quite a few vets in the same boat. I don't understand wtf they expect us to do.
