Alan Watts was my 'gateway drug' into accessible spiritual texts, that led me further to Jiddu Krishnamurti, Ram Dass, traditional Buddhism and Advaita. To be able to search for specific topics or phrases in Ram Dass' talks,

Isn't the SSL certificate being issued by Cloudflare a giveaway? I'm guessing it's a sufficient condition, bit not a necessary one. I.e, a could be using Cloudflare's WAF with a SSL cert issued by somebody else.

I agree, I know the game you're referring to, but didn't think of it when I chose the title. I wanted to add some more context than just calling it 'Cyberrunner' without any additional information, although I'm awar

I'm less impressed that the AI figured it out in the end, but more by the speed with which it played in the final state. I'm thinking one reason why human players do this more slowly and careful is that they'd get annoyed by
