Apple: “I play Lawyer in attack position.”

It’s free for Apple honestly, just for unauthorized use of their trademark alone.

That’s kind of where I’m at with the whole idea too. Should we be in such a situation, it just moves all our existing questions about “What is reality and the universe?” up one meta-level to the theoretical actual reality. I doubt we would stop finding out as much as is possible about this layer, but we would be wholly unable apply our findings or assumptions to the true reality.

But even if that true reality remains forever unknowable, it at least sets what I would consider some “sensible” bounds on our universe. As things are now, I’m not sure if I’m more dumbfounded by the idea of an infinite universe or a finite one - both boggle the mind for different reasons.

This is why I die a little inside each time I see someone post an LLM summary of an article.

As if generating it in the first place and then reading that is somehow less work than just reading the article to begin with.

Different platform, but exactly the same deal moderating Twitch chats. I think my favorite insult that I’ve received was that I was personally “the downfall of Western civilization.”

The upshot to those disruptions happening in an active chat like that though is that everyone sees how much of a knob that person is being and is perfectly happy to see them gone.
