I absolutely agree that it can't create finished content of any particular value. For my D&D use case, its value is instead as a brainstorming tool; it can churn out enough ideas quickly enough that it's easy for me to find a couple of gems that I can polish up into something usable.

Khan and her fellow antitrust enforcers in the Biden administration have sought to use antitrust laws - deployed in recent decades mostly to protect consumers against high prices - to combat what they view as anticompetitive practices squeezing workers' paychecks.

Labor has been an area of focus for Khan, a former law professor and congressional antitrust counsel, who took the reins of the agency in June 2021.

They haven't actually had a presence at PAX for ages. They did an event there to announce IBS when it was coming out, but I don't believe they had a booth then. They've had parties pretty regularly though
