ANNOUNCEMENT

We received news that we will unfortunately have to find a new web home for this contest, effective on January 10, 2021, due to technical issues with the site. However, all is not lost, and the contest WILL continue!

We are happy to announce that we have found a new home! While it will be a different format than you are used to atbthe current Teitho website, your mods feel it will be a good fit for us all in the long run.

Due to the work involved in getting our new home set up, we have extended our Joker Challenge by one month, so the new deadline will be February 28, 2021. This challenge will be the first to be posted at our new location: teitho.proboards.com

We are still building the new space, and loading archived challenges and modifying the appearance so it feels a little more like the home we have enjoyed for all these years, but you are welcome to come and find us there between now and March 1, when we will make the transition official.

Stories will still be submitted to [email protected], and the voting will still be done using Google Polls, as it has been for the past several years. It will only be the layout and site that will be a little different.

Thank you for your patience, understanding and continued support! We look forward to a great new year for Teitho!

Your Teitho-moderators,

Carawyn, and Lotrfan, Mirach, and Sian22 and Lotrfan

The steam of the last cycle is largely exhausted. Innovators have either matured into more conservative companies, or been acquired by them.

"I’m more comfortable calling “AI” a “pattern synthesis engine” (PSE). You tell it the pattern you’re looking for, and then it disgorges something plausible synthesized from its vast set of training patterns." Yep. This. There's no "thinking" or "intelligence" here, just sophisticated pattern matching on a vast, vast sample size called "all the crap we put on the Internet".

*Favorite band gets in to a car wreck, their drummer joins a different band, and four bands break up.*

Is anyone else experiencing problems with Tumblr on Firefox? It keeps freezing my web and this makes me sad.

What's wrong with Soapchat.net these days? It keeps redirecting to Twitter.
