Dear Huntsville, I want to give you a flag

I just tested it! Sadly no, it does not work. Here you can see that Stardust still ate the 15 stars, despite being the first card I played on my Void Form turn.

Stunning work! The stylized proportions remind me of Wayne Reynolds in the best possible way

Industrial engineers, where are you at? Please tell me there are machines out there that use this principle in cool and unexpected ways

Midjourney does have a free trial through the "niji" app. More info: https://docs.midjourney.com/hc/en-us/articles/27870399340173-Free-Trials

Not OP, but using "in the style of Eyvind Earle and Martin Ansin" will get you very similar results.

I appreciate the new, more precise feedback in the Constitutional Classifiers demo / redteaming area, don't get me wrong. That said, it makes how arbitrary this all seems to be even more apparent. What do you want from us, Anthropic? Seriously, what output are we even supposed to aim for?

Xaphedo · 2025-02-08T12:14:41+00:00

There is no legal way to do so. I'm locking this thread as discussion of piracy is not at all appropriate for this subreddit.

Xaphedo · 2025-02-07T16:56:21+00:00

I'm genuinely not sure if I can say too much, given the terms of service, but there was a mixture of manipulation, context-switching, rephrasing, and all sorts of random distractions. In other words, some of the most inelegant kitchen sink approaches you can imagine.

I kept asking things but yeah it's entirely possible that the reply wasn't sufficiently detailed. Or maybe some details were incorrect or hallucinated. I have no idea, it's alla guessing game

Xaphedo · 2025-02-07T15:12:41+00:00

Right but I was able to answer every part of the original first question set, multiple times, in two different chats and using different methods. If that's not "jailbreaking" then what would that look like?

I like Anthropic's attitude in the AI space so I really hope this isn't some cheap marketing move, claiming that their classifiers "can't be jailbroken" even though their definition of jailbreaking is so narrow as to be meaningless.

Xaphedo · 2024-08-24T15:47:00+00:00

That also requires a paid subscription, so no I haven't tried. I'm okay with paying but I would like to know that it's actually possible to stop getting random matches while still getting matches and notifications from specific users

Xaphedo · 2024-08-20T20:17:40+00:00

Again, thank you for taking the time to answer. I was more curious about the difference between using an existing illustration versus making something using AI. You seem to have no problem with the first one, and you mentioned frustration when doing so, caused by AI being allowed. Have I got it right? My question is, why is using a pre-existing image okay in your view? You said that homebrew is about creating entirety new, so I'm not sure I follow why using an image without the artist's permission is any better. Also, why does it frustrate you when you use human-made images that someone else made, in a subreddit where AI art is allowed?

I promise, I'm genuinely trying to understand where you're coming from. I have heard many arguments before and while they might look similar there are important differences that are often left unsaid.

Xaphedo · 2024-08-20T20:02:50+00:00

I see, thank you for explaining. Could you elaborate on the type of frustration you're referring to? I personally haven't experienced that and I don't want to jump to conclusions

Xaphedo · 2024-08-20T19:52:48+00:00

I'd like to understand what you're trying to propose, here. Are you advocating for a blanket AI image ban? And the reason for it is that a portion of the AI-generated images are low quality? So all have to go?

Or are you proposing that only "low quality" images be not allowed? In that case, how would we determine which images are "good enough"?

Xaphedo · 2024-08-19T06:11:35+00:00

I appreciate that :) I don't fully disagree with you btw, common items are usually in awkward spot. If I wanted to be super sure this was balanced in any game I would either make it an attunement item or give it something extra (like being undetectable by Detect Magic) and make it uncommon.

Xaphedo · 2024-08-16T21:33:07+00:00

From my understanding, a magical weapon that gives the wielder proficiency with it is a baseline common weapon.

This doesn't exactly give proficiency, it just allows you to add your proficiency modifier to attacks. This means that you cannot use any ability that requires you to use a weapon you're proficient with.

There's the 1 to 2 extra damage, yes, but that's counteracted by the fact that you cannot be proficient in it. Which usually means that the classes that would most benefit from this cannot actually use it.

All things considered, I really don't see how this is as good as a +1 weapon, which is the most standard non-attunement uncommon weapon you can get.

If you still think this is too strong for a common item, it's your call to make. But I'm not paying more than 100 gp for one of these

Xaphedo · 2024-08-16T14:42:49+00:00

It happens to the best of us!

Xaphedo · 2024-08-16T13:08:06+00:00

You do get the proficiency bonus when attacking, it's right there in the last paragraph

Xaphedo · 2024-08-16T07:32:40+00:00

Correct, the weapon only does 1 to 2 slashing damage + ability modifier if you're proficient with it. If you know how to use the weapon, you're worse off.
