I made a pretty nasty undead bbeg in a 3.5 game by applying both the lich and vampire templates to a necromancer, then giving him levels of the Vampire Lord prestige class from Libris Mortis. He also had the Swarm Shifter template, with swarm of undead parts. His skull would hover in the middle of basically a whirlwind of bones. I let the skull make Vampire drain attacks too, but also it was vulnerable to PCs trying to target it directly.
The nastiest thing about him though was how many other undead he could control.
Having worked with a bunch of Boomer and older Gen X EEs, it is a fucking misogynistic boys club of white ass old men with undiagnosed autism. I have never heard so many racist and sexist jokes in the workplace (except when I worked in VC, and those guys were JUST sexist).
So this surprises me not at all (in fact, I think I’ve heard it before, but as “Black Boys * * *”).

The Bard in Green@lemmy.starlightkel.xyzto Cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works•WormGPT Makes a Comeback Using Jailbroken Grok and Mixtral ModelsEnglish3·19 days agoIt sounds like the real issue for these fuckwits is that script kiddies are running jailbroken models with darknet edgelord sounding names (WormGPT roflmao). This whole article is like some security company execs generating clickbait and citations to get attention by saying scary shit about a nothing burger.
The Bard in Green@lemmy.starlightkel.xyzto Cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works•WormGPT Makes a Comeback Using Jailbroken Grok and Mixtral ModelsEnglish13·19 days agoOh man, I hate the use of all the scary language around jailbreaking.
This means cybercriminals are using jailbreaking techniques to bypass the built-in safety features of these advanced LLMs (AI systems that generate human-like text, like OpenAI’s ChatGPT). By jailbreaking them, criminals force the AI to produce “uncensored responses to a wide range of topics,” even if these are “unethical or illegal,” researchers noted in their blog post shared with Hackread.com.
“What’s really concerning is that these aren’t new AI models built from scratch – they’re taking trusted systems and breaking their safety rules to create weapons for cybercrime,“ he warned.
“Hackers make uncensored AI… only BAD people would want to do this, to use it to do BAD CRIMINAL things.”
God forbid I want to jailbreak AI or run uncensored models on my own hardware. I’m just like those BAD CRIMINAL guys.

This makes me want to implement a programming language as an alternate tabletop magic system. Maybe give my players runes to experiment with and let them figure out it’s a programming language.

I was talking to a friend of a friend on Saturday about media streaming and he told me all about his Jellyfin setup and then asked about mine and I was just like “I just store MP4s on an SSHFS drive and play them in VLC on my TV (which runs Linux Mint).” When the survey asked about the various types of software I was like “No… I don’t use anything like that… wait… yes I do! I just don’t use a prebuilt solution!”

“Move fast and break things” Startup mindset is dangerous when taking your customers into potentially hostile environments. If only Michael Crichton had warned us about that decades ago.
We tried to build systems that perform a kind of basic, rudimentary, extremely power intensive and inefficient mimicry of how (we think maybe) brain cells work.
Then that system lies to us, makes epic bumbling mistakes, expresses itself with extreme, overconfidence, and constantly creatively misinterprets simple instructions. It recognizes patterns that aren’t there, and regurgitates garbage information that it picks up on the internet.
Hmmm… Actually, maybe we’re doing a pretty good job of making systems that work similarly to the way brain cells work…
