Apple study shows how aligning Language Models can be improved with checklists (instead of rewards)
@DM_Zeppelin @Craig @enerhpozyks My introduction to the game was with AD&D (and Basic/Expert).
We eagerly set alignment when creating characters, and never referenced it again. (we were teenagers, so "I'll do what I want!" in Cartman's voice).
@DM_Zeppelin @enerhpozyks Thinking more about alignment, I see it more as a plot-hook than a rule per se. "It's not a rule, but a tool." It doesn't determine a player's choices, but can determine the results of their choices (a paladin violates their alignment-guided mandates and thus loses their power, etc.)
When I referenced saying to players, "You're acting outside of your alignment" it was more a warning of potential consequences than a mandate. #ttrpg #dnd #alignment
Is there a reason why D&D seems to be the only ttrpg in existence (correct me if I'm wrong) that uses Alignment?
The only time as a DM I've ever told a player, "You're acting outside of your alignment" (or any comment similar to that) is at my teen's D&D group where evil alignments are not allowed.
Should Alignment be one of those big D&D rules that we just ignore altogether?

How to Contact Heaven—A Guide to Spiritual and Psychological Alignment

I made this photograph of an #alignment of #Megalithic monuments, a stone circle, a passage tomb, and the grave of Queen #Maeve atop #Knocknarea seen from #Carrowmore, #Sligo, IE, on April 25, 2007 using old technology, a Canon PowerShot A710 IS. Today, I used #gimp 3 to convert it to black and white using different settings than last time I posted it.

Gerade ein Kundengespräch gehabt. Der Kunde war "not amused". Idee, für den nächsten OKR Alignment Workshop bauen wir ein Siedler von Catan Spiel. Vielleicht ist das eine gute Idee. Jetzt baue ich mal so ein Kärtchen.
The #AI #alignment of GIGO with FAFO was a huge success
