I will be presenting at ICIDS Malta this December!
Excited to showcase our Drama Manager tool for AI-augmented storytelling that maintains narrative integrity.

@kimmonismus @taker_of_whizz How were these benchmarks validated and audited? Are there any third-party verifications or peer reviews confirming the methodology and results? Would be good to understand the testing conditions and any potential biases or limitations in the evaluation process.
