Why 'Dungeons & Dragons' players are posting selfies in spite of 'SNL'

TwitterFacebook

What does a Dungeons & Dragons player look like? 

Well, they don't all channel the overdone nerd stereotype portrayed on Saturday Night Live — and that's prompted a delightful moment on Twitter.

In a skit performed during Saturday's show, three employees from the graphics department, played by Beck Bennett, Kyle Mooney, and guest host Kit Harrington, battle over the title of "Employee of the Month" in a style akin to live action role-playing games like D&D.

The D&D community, tired of seeing the same old stereotype, wasn't impressed Read more...

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated.

Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itse...

California Gov. Newsom vetoes bill SB 1047 that aims to prevent AI disasters

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed bill SB 1047, which aims to prevent bad actors from using AI to cause "critical harm" to humans. The California state assembly passed the legislation by a margin of 41-9 on August 28, but several organizations including the Chamber of Commerce had urged Newsom to veto the bill .

Instead, the bill applies stringent standards to even the most basic functions - so long as a large system deploys it."  SB 1047 would have made the developers of AI models liable for adopting safety protocols that would stop catastrophic uses of their technology. That includes preventive measures such as testing and outside risk assessment, as well as an "emergency stop" that would completely shut down...
