A U.S. District Court judge on Thursday allowed New York-based startup Kalshi to legally offer betting on the outcome of the November Congressional elections…despite opposition from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)…Within minutes of the ruling, people began placing bets on Kalshi's website…

Trail of Tears Intertribal Pow Wow

…on the first full weekend after Labor Day…intertribal Pow Wow at the park…celebrate their rich heritage, to socialize with old friends and make new ones. It is also an opportunity to expose non-indians to centuries old traditions of various dances, Native American crafts, and to educate Pow Wow visitors with story telling and Indian lore demonstrations.

I wonder what would happen if given a "4d" of say, someone wearing a pup hood or furry costume or sports mascot head?

Here are some thoughts on using #AI as an assistant for story writing.

In the ever-evolving landscape of storytelling, I am thrilled to present...a gamebook that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) as a creative partner. This innovative approach combines the raw authenticity of human inspiration with the polished finesse of machine-aided refinement, resulting in an immersive literary experience like no other.

I find this horribly offensive.

I am asking Bing to create me ten sentences that are not the same as ten already provided sentences which only contain English words which match a Mohegan vocabulary list.

It refuses.

Safety rails have become the new censorship and discrimination tool of the elites.

Please help the Brothertown Nation!

At a Senate hearing in November 2009, Senator Byron Dorgan, described the Native American recognition process as broken.

The Brothertown filed its petition for re-recognition in April 1980. Ten years later, in 1990, the Department of Interior (DOI) said the citizenship act of 1839 was not an act of termination but in 2012, DOI concluded citizenship act was a termination.

So, I've tried a couple of different AI things to try and generate an interview with the author about "Galath Galahad and the Forsaken Abbey", but after the first couple of questions with my responses, they seem to go off into la la land and start answering for me. 😞

Any suggestions for a solution? I don't do well simply answering a list of questions and really need that interactive conversational style to get the right thoughts out.

#repost

I recently used the Mixtral AI as an assistant for my first attempt at a gamebook, blending my inspiration with machine assistance. It helped with the narrative flow, but did not help with either the plot or the characters. It also helped me with combat scenes preventing brain numbing drudgery. This is my test of a new human directed and controlled hybrid storytelling form.

So, just a couple of months after I signed up, mastodonbooks sent out a shutdown notice! Fun.

Appears I have to repost my posts? No way to import them I take it.
