“In a democracy, everything is political.”

-Matt Stover, Revenge of the Sith novelization.

As I recall, there’s more focus on the NGO spy group he was working with in the first season. Also the season premiere involves AI, so there’s relevance to reality.

I’d have to find it & watch.

Realistically, Motley Crüe’s “Kickstart my Heart”

Dammit, I was gonna make a “cool skate park, bro” joke.

Does no one bother with quality control anymore?

And it ends up being the noble just to pull a “Gotcha!” for subversion’s sake.

I wish I wasn’t as desensitized to this sort of thing as I am. Years ago, when I heard about this sort of thing, it became all I could think about for at least a good few hours. Nowadays, all I can muster is “Hmm…that sucks.”

They just can’t seem to take a hint, can they?

How tho? Will Claude be looking over our proverbial shoulders now, and if whatever we type just so happens to be word-for-word what it said, it can magically flag it?

What I’m saying is that if someone just types verbatim what Claude says, instead of just going “Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V”, that completely undermines this whole thing.

As I’ve said in response to a number of articles about this, all this means is that when someone wants to use Claude’s output for something, they just need to remember to manually type it in now, rather than just copy-paste it. Practically speaking, this changes nothing.

“Teenager” is a fairly broad spectrum of age; there’s a big difference between 13 & 17. You should pick something geared toward his approximate point of psycho-intellectual development.

Hartman from Full Metal Jacket.

I mean, so long as he doesn’t make them go out of pocket for it…

It’s all about consistency.

The two-party “A or B, this or that” thing in America is FAR from an optimal means of politics, but always remember: your most important right as a citizen is voting for your legislative representatives and local/state/national leaders. It’s your civic duty.

That too
