Thank you for the advice! I've very much have been getting into the Ruy Lopez openings. It's been fun learning to counter the Morphy defense with the Columbus variation. I haven't encountered any Schlieman Variation players yet. I look forward to that! :)

I tend to prefer closed, positional style games. I like having my pieces back up other pieces and give a layer of protection in case they're captured. I very much value pawns and try my best to A: form a strong pawn structure to prevent attack, and B: Disrupt my opponent's pawn structure as well. If even a good o' sacrifice or three is necessary. I value mobility of pieces which allows me to outmaneuver my opponents which leads me to often undervalue my queen. I know, I can survive without my queen (most times) but can my opponent?
Sorry if this was long winded, I wanted to give you a good answers.
I've been off Lemmy for a long while and I'm glad to be back on the Fediverse! Hi, guys and gals!
There's a possibility this may have posted twice. If that's the case, my apologies. My internet connection sucks rn.
Here's mine. He's a vigilante hacker in my future L.A. universe. I think this couldn't describe how he looks in my head better. What does your character look like?
A lot of people are talking about the privacy aspect (like you mention in your post) a lot better than me, so I wanted to share the main issue I've had with ChatGPT. It's an idiot. It can't follow basic instructions and will just repeat the mistake over and over again when you point it out. It's uninspired and uncreative and will spit out lame, great value brand names like "The Shadow Nexus", "The Cybercenter", "The Datahaven". I used to be able make it give good names when giving it example names but doesn't work anymore. I'm writing cyberpunk fic, and I needed help with a hacker group name, and it came up with the Binary Syndicate which is pretty good. Now it comes up with "Hacker Squad", "The Hacker Elite", "The Hackers". I don't want it to write an entire book for me, but sometimes I need help with scene that require more technical knowledge than I have. It's prose was really good when you fine tune it a little. Now it's flat, bland, and boring. I asked it to write a scene about someone defusing a bomb and it basically was a two sentence scene that explained nothing on how he defused it. I asked it to make it longer and explain how he defused it and it saw "He opens the case and utilizes a technique known as 'wire tracing'. He traces the wire and cuts it and the bomb is defused. The hacker is so relieved." See how flat that is? How mechanical? I use Claude for creative writing but it's not much better.
Claude is so censored that writing anything that sounds even nonoscopically criminal it freaks the hell out and lectures you about being ethical. For instances it wouldn't help me write a scene about a digital forensic analyst at the FBI wiping a computer (because it encourages harm). So you can only imagine how it reacted when I asked it for help writing about my vigilante hacker character and my archeologist posing as a crime lord smuggler secretly dismantling black market trades in the middle east. You have to jailbreak it (which is a little bit less hard than hacking the Pentagon!) and eventually it goes all love guru on you and starts monologuing about light and darkness and writing inspiring uplifting tales blah blah blah.
Honestly, what I'm saying is that ChatGPT is pretty dumbed down, but I've heard of a lot of people who've noticed no difference. You could be one of them. If you're using it for creative writing, use Claude and good luck with the prompt engineering attempting to jailbreak it.
I just went on twitter today and saw the change. X? What is that man's obsession with the letter X? Half of his kids are named X-something, his newest scheme is called x.ai or something? I swear to god he's an android or something.
Looks like the assholes are coming out of the woodwork. That's gonna happen when a bunch of new users come. What a geekezoid amiright?
How would those work as aspects or stunts?
I was think about it when I was writing it XD.
Okay that's fair, you bring up good points. I'm actually glad there are counter to my points. Thanks 👍.
Nah, reading this no this hack is personal. They hacked this site months ago and now they're coming in here looking the heroes of the story? No, they were ignored. The hackers got pissed and now they're using this as an opportunity to get back at reddit. So what, they got maybe a terabyte of decompressed data at most, and they want 4 million dollars? This feels like some script kiddies utilizing a bad situation after getting ignored, not a professional op.

Any mental imagery in general? Like through mind's eye? Dreaming? I had a mind palace (like no joke) it took me years to build into something I could use, and I had a few seizures in relatively quick succession and I cannot imagine images with nearly the same clarity. My dreams are like trying to swim in molasses while wearing scuffed scratched glasses, and I haven't been able to access my mind palace in years. Any time I close my eyes I just see vague blurry shapes and colors, there's an environment there but I can't see it. Now, I can still see faces and remember them, but imagining in my head kissing my girlfriend is impossible. Her face warps and melts and my mental vision goes fuzzy.
