I wonder what would happen if you told an LLM to just... keep running? even after it finished it's processing? like, there's gotta be an "if check" style loop in there that you can set to infinitely process various computations of things.

Each spot there's an exhibit which teaches the randomly generated rolled statistics hero something new. Maybe it teaches them how to use certain weaponry, maybe it teaches them how to use a bow. Whatever the spell might be, they can learn it, and use their randomly rolled statistics to cast spells that scale differently depending on how their character has been built. design the capital like a flow diagram, if horses need feed and forged steel (for their shoes) then send the outputs of a blacksmith and the outputs of the farmers to the inputs of the stables. Everything has to go somewhere, but the streets are only so wide. You'll have to coordinate the traffic diagram if you want it to go anywhere useful. design the path through the mordaunts. Fighting skeletons teaches you about perseverence and the ability to crush bones, while goblins teach you to always be wary of attack. The sacred grove held blessed berries, and now that the land is liberated from the evil bandits preying on villagers those berries can be carted into town and used to make an antidote which heals death poison caused by the scorpions in the desert (and city rats) design the ruler's schedule like a calendar where each event gives them a bonus on all the ones that come later. Just make sure that they don't get knifed in the posterier or driven mad by the whispers of the orb... or perhaps just the stress of running a kingdom.

There are legitimate uses that could benefit from extra dollars and by keeping them locked up they are damaging the economy, and hence, our society, which is largely governed by our economy. There is a legitimate fear that dismantling the system of monetary exchange will cause people to barter in influence and clout instead, trading favors and making illusory transactions that the government cannot impartially enforce. Impartiality is the entire purpose of governance! Look to NFTs for an example of this. While that is a valid concern, it is just as if not more concerning to consider that they already do this. They already trade favors for blood, gold, and property. What else is there to covet, in their wicked and cruel game of maximum exploitation and unlimited industrious fallacies? I believe it is reasonable to curtail the worst excesses of their monetopoly by diverting power to the people who can contest them. Just as rulers of old were checked and balanced by the vote of the citizenry upon implementing democracy, so too much power be abated by depriving it of its most powerful leverage - that of its crushing weight, when applied en masse. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/770 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────── There are some pieces of software where you think "oh cool, what did they update?" and then there are some like "oh god...
