Podcasts about safety tools

Welcome to Show Me The Money Club live show with Sergio and Chris Tuesdays 6pm est/3pm pst.

Transcripts available at diceexploder.comSafety in RPGs and larp is a huge topic, one I've wanted to cover on Dice Exploder for a long time, but one I've avoided it because it feels hard to approach inside the “pick one mechanic” format of this show. Even more than most mechanics I cover on Dice Exploder, I feel like most safety mechanics are in conversation with each other in both logistical ways—how they compliment each other—but also in the philosophy behind their existence in the first place, how including these mechanics at the table is ideally a statement about how we'd like to treat each other both at the table and away from it. So today we're gonna name that underlying philosophy and call that our mechanic: “players are more important than the game” is something I hear in conversations around safety all the time, and that's this episode.To break it down, I'm joined by Sarah Lynne Bowman. She studies all this professionally, and she has so much to say and to share about how safety tools work in theory and in practice, how no tool can ever guarantee your safety (even if we should still definitely use them), and how building good communities around our games is at least as important to safer play as any individual tool.Finally, content warning in this episode for mention of sexual assault and emotional abuse in rpg communities. We don't get deep into any specifics, but they come up.Further ReadingYour Larp's Only As Safe As It's Play Culture by Troels Ken PedersenDice Exploder on accessibility in game designCreating a Culture of Trust through Safety and Calibration Larp Mechanics by Maury BrownLarp Design, the bookBibliography from Sarah Lynne BowmanKoljonen, Johanna. 2019. “Opt-out and Playstyle Calibration Mechanics.” In Larp Design: Creating Role-play Experiences, edited by Johanna Koljonen, Jaakko Stenros, Anne Serup Grove, Aina D.

The episode opens with a focus on Anthropic's new tool, Clio, which is designed to enhance AI observability by identifying threats and unknown harms associated with its AI chatbot, Claude. Clio has already proven its utility by detecting a coordinated spam network attempting to manipulate search engine optimization. Anthropic aims to share Clio's methodologies with other AI labs to promote safer AI practices, emphasizing the importance of governance frameworks for service providers offering AI solutions.The episode also delves into the ongoing challenges of diversity within IT leadership. Host Dave Sobel presents data from a recent survey that reveals little change in the demographic makeup of IT leadership, with a significant majority being white and male. Despite some tech workers believing their workplaces are making strides in diversity, equity, and inclusion, the statistics indicate that progress has been slow. The discussion highlights the need for continued monitoring of these demographics to assess the effectiveness of DEI initiatives, especially as budget cuts and leadership support wane.In a segment titled "Experts Warn," the podcast addresses the misuse of AI technologies in disinformation campaigns, specifically referencing Eleven Labs' AI voice generation technology being used in a Russian influence operation. This incident underscores the potential risks associated with generative AI, as well as the growing concerns among business leaders regarding AI fatigue and burnout. Sobel notes that while many organizations are exploring AI solutions, they often lack clear guidelines for implementation, which can lead to challenges in managing employee use of these tools.Finally, the episode concludes with a significant market shift in the remote monitoring and management (RMM) sector, where Kaseya has overtaken ConnectWise as the leading provider. Sobel discusses the implications of this change, including Kaseya's aggressive pricing strategies and the potential risks associated with their approach. He encourages service providers to evaluate vendors based on sustainable innovation and customer satisfaction rather than just market share. The episode wraps up with a call for organizations to establish comprehensive strategies for AI implementation, ensuring that they remain competitive while effectively managing the associated risks. Four things to know today00:00 AI Observability Gets Real: Anthropic's Clio Detects Threats and Offers a Blueprint for Safer AI03:09 Same Story, Different Quarter: IT Leadership Still Struggles With Diversity05:25 AI Voices, Burnout, and Big Bets: Why Guardrails and Guidance Are Your Best AI Tools10:00 Big Shift in RMM: Kaseya Tops ConnectWise, But Can They Hold the Crown?  Supported by:  https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/https://tdsynnex.com/StreamOneIon   All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

DoorDash is launching three new in-app safety tools for its delivery people, the company announced on Friday.

Tabletop RPGs are supposed to be fun but sometimes as the improvised story gets told, things come up that might make those at the table feel uncomfortable or triggered and that is where safety tools come into play! Join us as we sit down with Kienna Shaw and Lauren Bryant-Monk to discuss the TTRPG safety toolkit they curated, how it is used, and how we can start to build a culture of care! Check out their Safety Toolkit here: ttrpgsafetytoolkit.comFor more about Kienna you can find them on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, or on their website: kiennas.com For more about Lauren, you can find her on Twitter, Instagram, or LinkedIn.Stay up to date with our episodes and happenings by following us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and please email any questions or feedback to TouchySubjectsPodcast@gmail.com or head to our website TouchySubjectsPodcast.com.If you or someone you know wants assistance please call the National Hotline at 1−800−799−7233 or visit https://www.thehotline.org or the National Sexual Assault Helpline at 1-800-656-4673 or RAINN.org.Music credits: Uplifting Summer by Alex_MakeMusic (2021) Licensed under a Pixabay License. http://pixabay.com/music/dance-uplifting-summer-10356/The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are the host's own and might not represent the official views and opinions of the agencies in which they represent. 

How do we play characters reacting naturally to highly stressful situations without completely stressing ourselves out? Paul and Dan discuss the variety of safety tools in use in modern roleplaying systems, and how those impacted the development of Paul's upcoming horror RPG Fearful Ends. John Stavropoulos, creator of X-Card, said on why to use this safety tool: "The X-card creates a specific mood at the table. It says "We're here together. If you need to stop, we'll stop. The people playing are more important than the game we are playing." … Just having the X-Card present can increase the group's heightened awareness of everyone's risks and responsibilities. Even if the X-Card is never used, it still is a potent tool for getting everyone to think about each other first, and the game second." William J. White, a professor at Penn State Altoona, in a historical retrospect examined the early online discourse in The Forge diaspora on the X-Card including a discussion prompted by game designer Vincent Baker in 2013. White highlighted that Stavropoulos was an event organizer who developed the tool to help ensure a "positive experience in convention-based play" with strangers, however, many online commentators assumed "play takes place within stable, pre-existing groups" which is "an important distinction in understanding the issue". Some felt the X-Card "more or less obviously implies curtailing the range of normal activity at the table" and the tool was subject to ridicule while others "pointed to a legitimate need for safety mechanisms, challenging the critics on the jurisdictional grounds that they are misinterpreting the intent of the X-Card". In 2013, Baker felt that X-card was an "unnecessary or harmful" game hack counter to the intentions of the game designer as "competent game designers" would be deliberate about including or excluding "emotional safety mechanisms". This position was challenged, including by Stavropoulos himself, and the ensuing online discussion outlined positive experiences using the X-Card. Baker has since "completely reversed" his position and stated "my take now is that stand-alone safety tools that players can bring with them from game to game are valuable and important".

Despite our best efforts to avoid it, since it seemingly refuses to die and WotC is now promoting the tripe officially, the gang talks Safety Tools and identifies which tool, if forced to use one, each would implement.  The news is upbeat and SparkleTroll-free for a change!  Lastly, the boys talk about how a green player effects a table and a DM as compared to a grizzled old D&D vet.  Plus, "Ryan's Torture Toolbox," coming soon?  Nah. ----more----   ----more---- The News: TTRPGs & Cardboard to Bring to a Party John Carpenter Double-shot!

Conversations like these save lives. This week, Dr. Laura Anderson invites Jen Hoey to talk about internet safety and to share the experience that launched her into this line of work. This can happen to anyone -- Jen was vigilant in her internet monitoring, and yet her child still found herself in the process of being groomed online. Dr. Laura and Jen dive into the conversations you need to be having, spotting warning signs, and beginning the process of healing.Jen is a Parent Cyber Safety Consultant and Founder of ‘Not My Kid'. Her mission is to preserve childhood and keep all children safe from online child exploitation by empowering their parents through education. She is a mum of three children and has navigated some negative experiences with her older kids online — the most challenging being her daughter's exposure to a predator via an online game when she was 9 years old. This provided her with personal insight into some of the challenges both children and parents face today. Jen's passion and primary focus is fighting the epidemic of child exploitation online.What You Will Learn:Something so simple can really destroy a childHow to talk to your child to foster open communication about online safetyHow to unpack the idea of safe and unsafe secretsPreparing children to understand warning signs of dangerRemind them that you will help them, so they don't stay silent out of fearThe benefit of having a code wordSetting up a safety team of trusted adults your child can speak toResources:Website: https://www.notmykid.com.au/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/notmykideverInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/notmykid_ever/
