Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I've regretted my previous choice of using the Draper Gem and Decorators when coming back to old projects. I found Decorators just obscured display logic away in an inconvenient way.

The quote below demonstrates the warped thinking and perspectives! Why not put the AI in a bunker with an off switch? The idea that you would choose to release a technology that could be dangerous, whilst assuming you can hide in a bunker a

Agreed about purpose being a loaded term. It's my, somewhat lazy, philosophical opinion, that there isn't any purpose and there doesn't need to be one. I don't see why the universe would need a purpose for anything. Thin

In South Australia, as a requirement for building our house, we had to install water tanks. We have 22,000 litres of water stored, with pumps and filters. And we are on mains water too so it’s never used. We also have 6,000 litres of water
