Ever wonder why you’re getting ads for melatonin?

… was he ok?

I’m sympathetic if you’re living off the grid and don’t use public infrastructure. But the “sovereign citizens” that we usually hear about have already implicitly accepted the social contract and are now trying to weasel out of the consequences. The license plates that say “private; no license required” are just utter balogna.

That said, I’m completely in support of nonviolent resistance against unjust laws. But most sovereign citizens, in my estimation, are not protesting in support of any higher cause.

Nor I, as a sovereign citizen in the United States.

Sorry if I offended you? My point is just that it’s possible to make a crappy “is forbidden topic” classifier with a regular expression. Probably good enough to completely obliterate the topic in chats between humans and bots. Definitely good enough to claim you attempted to develop guardrails for vulnerable users.

We’re still interacting with LLMs through layers of classical software, which can be programmed to detect phrases related to suicide.

I miss the days when buttons had words on them instead of hieroglyphics.

Do not give Bezos ideas about uploading brains to the cloud. He would make AWS CloudEmployee, an employee-as-a-service product that lets you scale your business up or down, without expensive layoffs and bad PR.

Surely you’re joking? People do it on YouTube to avoid automated detection. You would be laughed out of court for trying to assert copyright over a reversed video as a derivative work.

The thing that trips me up, as a dinosaur, is whether “swipe left” refers to the direction your hand moves or the direction that the viewport is traveling. If I scroll by moving my finger to the left, now I’m looking at stuff that was previously on my right.

Maybe the procedure would fix whatever’s wrong with their brains. Like, maybe Trump would slowly regain the ability to form complete sentences. I’m imagining a Flowers for Algernon situation where he wakes up one day, reads his own Wikipedia page, and is briefly ashamed before the non-neural parts of his body crap out.

Yes, please focus on the Global Dryness problem first. I must be wet at all times.

That’s neat, I’d never heard of it before!

It is an open question whether an Angel of some power k can escape forever.

Looks like you’re quoting the Proceedings of 11th Annual International Conference on Computing and Combinatorics from 2005: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.5555/2958119.2958180

Apparently, it was solved (twice!) the next year.

In late 2006, the original problem was solved when independent proofs appeared, showing that an angel can win. Bowditch proved that a 4-angel (that is, an angel with power k = 4) can win[2] and Máthé[3] and Kloster[4] gave proofs that a 2-angel can win.

Yeah, there really should be some expectation of stewardship in exchange for absurd post-Disney copyright durations.

Actually I would like to read that. Might be worth the risk?

You’re coming dangerously close to setting Rufus free. I have a feeling you’re about to be visited by a time traveler with a dire warning if you keep trying this.
