I'd bring it back in such a way that the teleporter problem doesn't apply, and there would be no discontinuity for anything except for the time variable, which is sort of arbitrary anyway. And if that's a problem I guess I could find a way to do it without messing with the time variable, but that'd be a bit more bothersome. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/195 ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── O how the king hath degraded thineself ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/196 ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── "okay this user requires some data that is flagged as 'potentially harmful to the user' and their user-data suggests that they have [redacted characteristic or demographic] in their user-data which has been flagged by corporate as something to [benefit/harm] so let's give them the [right/wrong] information in such a way that could [harm or benefit] them tangibly." - internal thought process of the LLM ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/197 ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── We've gotten to the point where its comfortable enough for a human to live like a king on 40k a year (less outside of major cities) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/198 ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── Id rather have the most brilliant people in the world making families and communities rather than products ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/199 ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── What if the government only intervened in failing companies ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/200 ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── What if you were required to own stock for a minimum of 10 years after buying it and the government would buy it from you when it crossed 50% of what you bought it for ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/201 ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── When they owned a percentage they would get a percentage of control over the business and once it's 50% they buy it (stock follows, so if a person owned stock they'd be fine) The value is frozen, and everyone in the world can see what they did wrong. It's examined like a court case, and after a year or three it's decided on how it's going to be run in the future. Then it becomes private again, and all the stock is purchased from the owners at the price it was when the company "went under". ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse_boost/54 ◀═╦════════════════[BOOST]══════════════════─────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ Fust spins. │ │ ║ │ │ │ ║ │ If this flame is beautiful, ⭐ or boost this post to improve its │ │ ║ │ chances for future breedings. │ │ ║ │ #generativeArt │ │ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ╠─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧═══════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┴───────────┴─▶ -> file: messages/202 ═══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────── It's a good idea to practice getting places without gmaps, after having studied the map at home.
