Very fun. I wonder, though: can one ever do “clean room” anything using these Plagiarism Laundering machines?

Contract law will certainly be a casualty once Rule of Law has completely been broken. I don’t understand why the business sector isn’t pushing back more. Surely they must all know that the legal legal context itself, within which they all

Managers and business owners outsource thinking to their employees and they deserve huge paychecks for it. Entrepreneurs do it and we celebrate them. But an invention that allows the peon to delegate to an automaton? That’s where I draw the

You’re understating it by only mentioning Silicon Valley. I’ve worked with lots of great people from all over the world who brought their talents and education here to be productive in our economy, and I’ve never stepped one foot in Silicon

This captures how I tend to use LLMs when coding on my side project. I keep my favorite quote in mind and guide the model towards finding the essence of the mechanism I’m seeking: “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to a

How would "the legal market" sort out someone who repeatedly uses the legal system in bad faith but, because they're in Donald's orbit the only hope left of consequences is the threat of disbarment? It increasingly seems

Very cool. It eventually got stuck for me, too, towards the bottom. Stuck detection would be a next step. Then you could plot the change in score for the current war, and overlay other plots that different wars took.

I see what you're saying, but I think it's a misunderstanding. 1D here only means that there's some state where the active cells are confined to one row — but one row within the ordinary 2D GoL plane. I'm sure the next
