I don't wanna go to their website to create traffic, but do we know why they are called "Four Pillars" ?

He's recruiting fans to write the profiles, or donate money to pay "professionals" to write the profiles - which we all know will just be him, plugging shit into ChatGPT again.

He has a few volunteers - one of which is very much a known industry asshat. The others are fans of his. It's very entertaining.

He neglected to ban me on my first run, so I went again.

This situation is so bizarre, like, did they really think it would go well? The level of delusion is insane

Why would anyone actually believe that editing is easier than writing when the writer is prone to error and hallucination? That is not a time-saver, but it is a common justification for using Ai to substitute real work.

What if the 'see less' button actually nuked the datacenter that hosts the site/pc where it was made from low orbit

Mother fuckers are trying to reinvent Fandom Wikia but somehow worse

don't give them ideas

“Top Monst Infuential Gameing Icons”

you had me at Top Monst Infuential

Looks like doing any actual work themselves is also a non-negotiable as they seem to think they should get board gamers' money for doing absolutely nothing. "We put no blood, no sweat, and no tears into this. What's wrong with all of you?"

AND MAYBE YOU PAY US MONEY TO DO IT THIS TIME?

Lol

it felt so weird!! and it was soon after i had read this great piece from @404media.co and i just felt like i had been strung out after just an hour of this shit

and block anyone complaining about it

Who can possibly say 🤔

Fantastic work. I have linked your article to RPG.net. forum.rpg.net/index.php?th... Let me know if you want me to remove it. Everyone in gaming should see this.

that was...something...

That's a nightmare. It’s wild how some companies think they can just ignore consent when using AI tools. Total lack of ethics.

An excellent recap, analysis and investigation in the 4 Pillars debacle. Nicely done Lin! Reading your piece I found myself wondering if there's some mental illness at play with Whitman. This mixture of intense dedication to his project – such as it is – despite intense pushback is so bizarre!

this was great reporting Lin I hate you for it

Everything that gets online becomes grist for LLM's to throw up as "Information" Law student runs hypothetical court cases through ShatGPT and they are now part of the data Shat uses when idiots look for cases. The world burning to create GIGO.

Excellent article. Thanks for wading through that Lin.

Swift work!
