  I believe that’s officially a variant rule. The system itself works fine without a grid. It can be done completely in the theater of the mind.

  The grid is just commonly used because it simplifies movement and positioning greatly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fresh evidence of ChatGPT’s political bias: study⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  From the study:

  In a nutshell, we ask ChatGPT to answer ideological questions by proposing that, while responding to the questions, it impersonates someone from a given side of the political spectrum.

  I’m not sure if I like this method. It’s comparing the ‘default’ response to the response of it ‘impersonating’ the left and right of the political spectrum (reduction of politics to a spectrum an entirely different issue). You don’t actually prove the default is biased doing this. It can just as easily be that the impersonations are more extreme than they should be.

  If it impersonates Republicans as more extreme than they really are and the Democrat impersonation and default positions are as they should be, there would seem to be a Democrat bias.

  If the impersonated Democrat position was less extreme than it should be and the Republican impersonation and default position are as they should be, you would still see a Democrat bias.

  My go to with all projects like this is if it worth it if ends up it’s just you doing it for yourself. 99% of these projects attract no one but their creators.

  So if you want to make a wiki for your own reference or to be able to link to in relevant conversation or for whatever reason you want to for yourself, and accept that no one else may not contribute or even care, go for it. If you just want this to exist but not put in the effort, you are probably better off seeing if someone else is doing something similar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lucasfilm Sued in Trademark Dispute Over Backpack in ‘Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think you have to prove loss sales for trademark disputes. Just a likelihood of confusion. And from the article:

  As part of its marketing for the movie, Lucasfilm authorized Filson to run a cobranded campaign to promote the movie and the clothing company’s products, according to the suit. “Lucasfilm and Filson produced a 60 second commercial prominently featuring video clips from the Indiana Jones 5 film intertwined with video clips of actors using Filson’s own products,” writes Devin McRae, a lawyer for Frost River, in the complaint. “Shockingly, one of the intertwined video clips was one from Indiana Jones 5 featuring Frost River’s Geologist Pack.”

  I think they might actually have a case. Use of one of their bags used in a lookalike competitors marketing campaign without clearly showing that it’s theirs is probably infringement.

  Lack of sales might be an argument to be made if we get to damages but I think this will probably be settled out of court for a nondisclosured amount. It’ll probably be cheaper for both parties that way.
