Whatever accelerates the obviousness of the uselessness of AI, I’m all for it
I got a tip that all over the world, people are using a dead-simple hack to manipulate AI behavior. It turns out changing what AI tells other people can be as easy as writing a blog post *on your own website*
I didn’t believe it, so I decided to test it myself www.bbc.com/future/artic...

I hacked ChatGPT and Google's AI – and it only took 20 minutes

HiPOD: Complicated Layers at the North Pole of Mars
At the North Pole of Mars there’s an ice sheet with hundreds (maybe thousands) of layers, and we can see some of these layers in windows where the ice cap has been eroded.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
