Fuck “alignment.” If I want to make an AI dungeon master, it’s almost impossible to do so (at least the way I enjoy tabletop RPGs) because the model can’t promote violence or other sorts of evil.

I get it, if you’re making a chatbot, you don’t want it suggesting wanton murder to fifth graders and grandmothers. But not every valid use of AI falls into the cleanly filtered worldview of Anthropic or OpenAI.

Or maybe I have it backwards. Maybe in the future everyone will flock to porn and ultraviolence because it’s the only way to find genuine humanity in an AI-sanitized world.
