    Default MIRI is seeking annotated 1-player session logs

    The Machine Intelligence Research Institute is seeking annotated session logs of gpt-style dungeon crawls. There's a chance that this could lead to real breakthroughs in comprehensibility and corrigibility of AI systems (both of which are currently terrible), with major real-world impact. More likely it allows them to check of one more item on the list of things that won't work. But they're willing to pay real money for the training data either way.

    So if you're running a game like this anyway, and tend to keep copious notes, maybe polish them up and send them that way.

    Or if you're decent at DMing, fast at writing, and really want twenty thousand dollars.

    Or if you've been wishing that your skillset of RPG playing could have even a tiny chance of saving the world: this is your moment.

    I take a lot of notes, this looks interesting. Thanks.

    Rulings are not 'House Rules.' Rulings are a DM doing what DMs are supposed to do.

    Agency means that they {players} control their character's actions; you control the world's reactions to the character's actions.
    Gosh, 2D8HP, you are so very correct!
