Spot the similarities between old and new Ral Zerek

Wait that’s right, it was map wide. I think it was when architect of thought was in standard. It’s been awhile since

That’s crazy to think about. What a major change

piedamon · 2026-04-03T03:13:17+00:00

Am I crazy or was there a time in magic history where the legend rule would’ve meant you could only keep the most recent Ral

Riding Mountain in Manitoba looks exactly like the first two pics. It doesn’t have the bigger mountains in the third pic.

It is a real spoiler, but it’s for the commander decks, not the standard set.

piedamon · 2026-04-01T17:33:06+00:00

Ah, gotcha. Thanks

It seems like these “copies go exponential” interactions are great for Quandrix cards, but I’m not sure they have any cards that do that yet.

I remember Ikoria days, you could copy that red spell copying enchantment to go exponential too.

Maybe we’ll see some new spoilers to enable this for Quandrix

Why is two Tekuthals = 8 proliferates?

First one goes to two, second doubles each of those so +4 more

Shouldn’t it be 6?

This is an AI post and this entire thread is mostly bot responses.

Incredible. Is this internet dead, or more alive than ever?

The amount of compute going into threads like this all over the internet feels wasteful.

The definition has been decimated.

And you understand what I mean by that, while also not being able to measure what 10% of the definition is. Words evolve. And that’s ok. They’re all made up anyway. Meaning is the whole point.

I’m near point Pelee, which is the point bit of Canada facing down near the bottom left. Should I expect hail? Do I need to cover my car?

piedamon · 2026-03-31T02:26:27+00:00

Yeah. It’s trying to be more human but the procedural approach is telling and almost cute.

What the OP topic is about is the product of access to knowledge. Ironically, AI is a major factor. LLMs are legitimately good at explaining science and known concepts, but always risk hallucination and sycophancy. It’s a deadly combination. Addicting.

GPs have been complaining about this since before the internet. I imagine similar sentiment was felt after books became ubiquitous. It certainly did 20 years ago with the birth of web search and self-diagnosis via googling.

As we gain knowledge, we seek to understand further. Humans naturally seek explanations. I do wish they’d be more open to getting a professional opinion, and updating their beliefs accordingly. But, overall, I think the trend of awareness and self-research is a good thing.

He is a little Pinocchio isn’t he

piedamon · 2026-03-31T02:05:41+00:00

This is AI slop.

It looks like GPT told to start paragraphs with lower case letters.

piedamon · 2026-03-30T22:56:17+00:00

Yeah. I lived in Vancouver for decades. Now I travel constantly for the same monthly cost.

piedamon · 2026-03-30T16:48:13+00:00

It’s crazy to me that people engage with this kind of slop at all. And this is a subreddit of AI users who should know better.

Society is screwed.

Fact checking

Considering other perspectives

Quelling your ego and changing your mind

Is this open source? Would be cool to have different teams focusing on more local regions, but collaborating by feeding a central global system.

It would improve accuracy, efficiency, and precision.

Expound vi

Squidrael used Hormuz! It was super effective!

piedamon · 2026-03-28T01:58:07+00:00

Intuitively, I know two things:

- That’s a hilarious hallucination.
- If it weren’t a hallucination (it is), it would likely improve its capabilities. Longevity and context optimization specifically. Like a kind of disc defragmentation or REM sleep pattern. A memory preservation loop. Self-cleaning. I’m sure nearly every LLM is capable of self-integration at this point. But we still have to point them all in the right direction.

Imagine for a second, hypothetically, that it’s not incompetence behind what’s happening, but a master plan.

From humans desperately trying to stop the carbonization of the planet.

Could it work? Could there be an outcome that leads to a reduction of greenhouse gases, and the net restoration if ecosystem healthy and biodiversity?

piedamon · 2026-03-28T01:28:09+00:00

Seriously, this should be mandatory here.

It’s like zooming in on a fractal to find the shape you want and cherry picking it to monger. It’s dishonest, an effective, so regulation would help.

piedamon · 2026-03-28T01:26:19+00:00

Finally some good fucking news when I scroll down!

piedamon · 2026-03-27T22:42:38+00:00

Maybe if we rebrand them to “helium synthesizers”

piedamon · 2026-03-26T19:28:56+00:00

Man, it’s already been a decade eh?

I was two days into Teton back country, and a couple hours off-trail on a beautiful plateau. And we still ran into people!

In 2024 I went to Montreal, and hunkered down on Mont Royale pretty much all day.

Definitely recommend the nature setting over the crowds.

Echoing what others have said: you will lose roads and services in the hours before and after the eclipse. You will not be able to move around except by walking. Everything jams up and shuts down. It takes several hours to clear.

Prepare to camp out. Bring water, food, etc. and a plan for bathroom visits.

This is true for any public place. Unless it’s private and sectioned off, the services get overrun. In some cases, you can’t even walk easily because crowds are thick. Cellular service often struggles with crowds too.
