    Malkavians are an enigmatic and deeply disturbed group of Cainites. Members of the clan have assumed the roles of seers and oracles among Kindred and kine, eerie figures bound by strange compulsions and the ability to perceive what others cannot. They are also notorious pranksters whose “jokes” range from silly to sadistic. Against all odds, however, the children of Malkav are among the oldest surviving vampiric lineages. They are one of the 13 original Cainite clans and can trace back their history to times preceding the biblical Deluge. They were also among the founders of the powerful Camarilla, and are widely known as one of its pillars in modern nights.

    Unfortunately Owlcat said they wont be revisiting Pathfinder/Paizo IPs for at least 3 years, which is likely due to the OGL fiasco and not wanting to touch OGL with a 10 foot long pole. They mentioned they would like to make a PF2e/Sf2e game at some point then, and potentially some remasters of Kingmaker and WOTR in the pf2e system.

    I figure they’re waiting for these systems to mature more. 3.5e games are untouchable now, and tbh is probably why Larian is no longer interested in 5e either.

    lmao the company running this, Hi Auto, is also an israeli firm

    from what i can tell they hook into google voice’s api and then hook the output into an llm to respond. the order is put into their system through RAG. this is like, script kiddie shit but they have a company of 50 people doing it (with 12 actual programmers). they also advertise 90% accuracy of the order which is fucking abysmal, any legit data scientist would be ashamed of such a low rate. it should be noted that accuracy is usually measured per token, so imagine it getting 10% of your syllables wrong in your order, which can end up with an order that is very wrong and could trigger the wrong RAG (ordering something you dont want). some of this is likely due to issues with audio quality from shit ass drive thru mics, loud motors, and bad noise cancelling. you can get a much higher accuracy spooling up a random local speech+llm model at home while picking your nose
