You are absolutely right that collaborative storytelling should be an escape. I think what I meant was something like if you have perfect security then there is no way players can circumvent with one clever spell choice, instead they must social engineer things, and sometimes this can lead to fun role play moments too
If this a high fantasy setting where magic practice is common, then… I would pitch that like a modern day researcher might have very specialised domain knowledge they would most likely lack a deep understanding of security best practices but being aware of this would contact some external org to monitor and implement security for their lab.
They would likely need to present multiple factors to access it (something they have, are and know) eg when the lab is not in use it is folded into a pendant that the wizard carries with her at all times (something they have). To open the lab the dials on the pendant must be set to the correct positions (something they know) and the wizard must blow her breath (something they are) through the revealed channel, the only the person blowing and up to three willing people of her choice that she can see are then transported to the lab.
Tampering or unauthorised access countermeasures should be such that they minimise further exposure. Eg killing/hurting someone who has incorrectly set the dials is not the best strategy as the pendant is still out of the possession of the wizard. Instead maybe setting the dials incorrectly teleports the pendant back into the wizards pocket or, if teleportation is blocked, renders it inert until another physical factor is presented eg it is reset using the original workbench (at the security contractor’s offices) where it was made. Similarly if the wrong person’s breath is blown through the pendant then the person blowing is not transported into lab but to a random place on the same plane.
The wizard should be alerted to any possible unauthorised access so if the pendant is removed from their person or if the wrong dials or breath are used. Further access could require further authentication if it occurs in an unusual place or at an unusual time.
The vulnerability of the wizards security would then not be technical but human. Instead of trying to find the gaps in a diy security implementation the wizard has probably got frustrated with the multiple layers of security and self sabotaged things for convenience. Eg locked all but one dial in its correct setting so only one needs to be set each time; added an enchantment so that when the pendant is blown an illusion of the same time and place is projected to prevent further challenges; maybe even disabling alerts and counter measures since she has a pet that keeps stealing/fiddling with her pendant. The company that provides the security package might be aware of the hacks the wizard is using and could be in an ongoing argument with her, threatening to withdraw their services unless she stops bypassing security measures.
That would be the favourable read true, but if there was genuine transformative human work there would be no need to cite auto generative content. It sounds to me that they prompted 20 or so logos and then cut 2 or three together, and cleaned up the text.
The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:
The game logo is drawn from several sketches generated by AI.
Come on I know not everyone is a designer, but really? Giving the slop machine responsibility for such a key branding component.
Giving your signature is never useless on things like this, as it is direct increase in the total support. The more the threshold is surpassed the harder it is to dismiss a moment as and activist fringe and not mainstream opinion.
Maybe you are thinking of this guardian article it touches the topic area near the end though doesn’t mention dual citizenship
I might be miss remembering but I feel like it has 4 to 5x-ed its support in just the last week or so to get here.
It’s at 1.1M now with above threshold support in 10 countries!
[Not US but] my local library service allows 300 simultaneous book loans, when I asked about why that number was chosen they said it’s so that people are not practically limited in borrowing. Given that typical loan period is 28 days even with 5 renewals you’re still looking at slightly more than 2 books read per day so that seems a reasonable allowance.
Thanks, bookmarking this for the weekend.

Bogus comparison. Babies also gain skills and knowledge at a much higher rate than adults but they make poor software architects and are prone to being sick on hardware.
Whether or not they are US based entities I think is moot since several developers have already been booted from kernel development due to their affiliations largely at the behest of the US.
Also if they try prevent downloads it would have the interesting side affect that: all the folks out there seeding and torrenting Linux ISOs might have to now also claim they only share the un-embargoed ones, wink.
I used to be a gate keeping manual bike snob, but within a matter of weeks of getting an electric cargo bike I was converted to an eBike evangelist. They are just great sub-type of bike making cycling more accessible and easier to replace a car (at least in Northern Europe). Big fan… but of course I do still love getting silly on an all carbon racer!
It’s going to be hard to justify a giant car when dinner consists of one $30 egg. 👌
Had some spectacularly bad customer support experience with them. Watch stopped charging well within the warranty period and it was an absolute nightmare trying to get them to fix/replace it. Either systemic incompetence or a deliberate tactic to try to avoid making good on the warranty.
The project page has a bit more detailed explainer.
Unbridled hedonism with eventual joining of a group mind, let’s go!
Shouldn’t be a problem, they are pretty good at grounding themselves
