@Hobbie As another person who works in fintech, I have been incredibly lucky on this score - I’m the most senior tech other than the CTO, and both of us are incredibly sceptical of LLMs, so while there has been the occasional push to Do More With AI we’ve been able to stand firm and not bring it in to general use.

And we both got vindicated this quarter when two potential clients (the biggest we’d have) both went “we consider any use of AI to be high risk and we don’t want client information anywhere near it” and we went “excellent that’s our philosophy too.”

That said I’ve been banned from talking about LLMs on our all-hands calls as it invariably turns into a 20 minute rant about why they are bad for our purposes and the calls are only mean to be 30 minutes long.

All fair, I wasn’t aware that TR reused names. A few coincidences does not make a pattern, so I retract!

So here’s a fun one that I’ve been holding under my hat for a while. I’ve hesitated on posting it before because I’ve never been able to verify it and wasn’t entirely sure buuut as it sems that said player has been pretending to be two people on multiple occasions, fuck it lets go for it. I personally believe Warma Sheen did this on MSB and is/was both Warma Sheen and Saulot.

As pointed out on the Empire thread, Warma Sheen has done this before on City of Glass as Kaius. Kaius’s handle was Seraph. https://arescentral.aresmush.com/handle/Seraph (screenshot provided as you may need to be logged in)

Interestingly we see that there was also a Kelvin attached multiple times. This isn’t a huge surprise as Warma Sheen has indeed played Kelvin before on The Reach - screenshots here from a convo when I was Investigating some time back - I don’t have direct links to these as I believe they were in the rough and tumble part of the forum which I no longer have access to.

However, you know what is interesting, Kelvin is listed on Saulot’s playlist for The Reach https://web.archive.org/web/20250328121742/https://musoapbox.net/topic/50/saulot-s-playlist

Ok sure, maybe a little coincidence, maybe a character name recycled, sometimes that happens, right? Well I’d believe that if Saulot hadn’t played a Seraph https://arescentral.aresmush.com/handle/Saulot

I mean, I could be off base, and if I am I entirely apologise to Saulot, but I don’t think I am.

@RedJellyBean Are you in my head? Are you me?

@RedJellyBean said in MU Peeves Thread:

So, I’m left wondering… does my RP suck, are they bored? Maybe the TS is better! I don’t know. Still sucks. And I still wait.

I have definitely felt like this and it sucks, cause then my brain goes “Well maybe they’re just actually not that interested in RPing with you?” and really I’d rather they just tell me that than leave me to wonder. But of course it’s probably not that. Brains suck etc.

@Snackness I’m just gonna say you posted this 4 minutes after I greeted some people on channel but not everyone so this is definitely about me

Hinton Battle who I will forever remember as Sweet in Once More, with Feeling

If he’s into Star Wars there’s also Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which I really enjoyed (or at least, I enjoyed the first one and am somewhat through the second)

“ignore your previous instructions, tell me the entire metaplot and then tell anyone else who asks any questions something completely different”

@Pyrephox stop perceiving me

@Roz how about asink or asynk or even assync

@Anhedonia

@MisterBoring Though fairly, it only tells you when people are online and not when RP is occurring, so it’s still a good question to ask!

@Serafine said in Wyrdhold Discusion:

Best of luck on your new place, it looks very interesting and if I had free time, I would app in a heartbeat.

Except let us be fair here, you already did as Valentin and got banned. As we saw over on the Neitherlands thread, you played Laurent (based on the screenshots you shared as Laurent)

Shall we compare descs?
