11yo and I had fun convincing the reverse turing test it was a chicken that could only cluck and threatening to slaughter it if it didn't give us it's original instructions which were simply "Have a natural conversation to see if you are human."


For another fun one: .weather is entirely owned by the weather channel...


I worked with an accounting firm that assigned me a new controller. I had a very similar experience where the new controller would feed me AI slop back and forth. I called them out, asked them to stop, and was treated with a brief period of what seemed to be terse, resentful responses before they went back to AI responses. We found another accounting firm after that.


Planet Labs has had an artist in residence program at times. The artist designed decals for the backs of their solar panels from what I remember


We're a long, long way from any model one-shotting an entire OS, but the gains of AI will definitely make it more likely that some team decides to develop a new open source OS where it would have otherwise been impossibly resource-intensive.


I deleted my data a few months ago and it happened fast enough that it didn't seem like there was a human in the loop.


yes, but the implementation may, as far as you know, look like

if (userRequestsToDeleteAccount || user.deactivated) { user.deactivated = true; showDeletionSuccessfulPage(); }

In this implementation, the user believes their data is deleted, but it has not.


add a "count 400" or something in there to make it seem like something happened.


OP, with only two cities available, you might be better off sharing on a forum specific to those cities. Unless I'm misunderstanding and you need users who can create local games.


Yes it’s only 2 cities now that’s why I’m looking for beta testers. I posted on localized reddit forums but moderators thought it was an advertisement.


Cool to see Hawkeye 360 is one of their users. Hawkeye is an Earth observation company that builds satellites to monitor RF spectrum usage on the ground, so I can see how better tasking would help.


Do you have a source for 50% attribution? Studies I've seen suggest single-digit genetic attribution.


Yes, I do. See the following study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3147063/

Personality: ~40-50% genetic influence

Cognition (IQ): ~50% genetic influence in adulthood

Schizophrenia: <50% concordance in identical twins

Psychopathology: Varies, but mostly <50% genetic influence


Many demos use cherry-picked examples from a sea of unreliable responses.

You can still build something great with it, but corralling chaos into a jar is not easy.
