One has to note that stripping the wealthy of their assets will also be necessary at some point if this keeps up.

First some background: In 2019, I wrote a story about a UCP candidate named Caylan Ford
I obtained leaked messages showing Caylan Ford making controversial statements about race, immigration and white supremacist terrorism
Caylan Ford resigned and Jason Kenney publicly condemned her comments

Masters level homework, not PhD. One assumes a PhD student would be doing novel mathematics.
This person was doing a business degree so their math homework wouldn't have been the same kind of thing.
The FrontierMath benchmark is designed to evaluate at the PhD level and beyond.

This "your choices stopped the day after the election" nonsense has to be murdered in its sleep, because that is not even a little bit how this shit is supposed to work.

Ask individual members to advocate against new pipelines. Because that's their fucking job.

That's true for pushing into novel results, though llm-adjacent tools are assisting some folks already, but we're talking about homework.

I watched one stranded work force riot in the 90s in NL. I don't intend to passively accept a blind drift into that same situation again. It's a foolish plan, to the extent that it's a plan at all.
And, again, there are ethical considerations that go well beyond the economics.

If we're going down that road, Aramco's the last player in the field, and it's not close. That's been true for decades. They also outsize us, and they have essentially no domestic resistance.
The risk of new projects is not the only risk I'm talking about.

The royalties regimes mean that it is very much not a question for the private sector. You can't on the one hand have a single dying, destructive sector contributing such a large amount of non-tax revenues and still preserve sensible risk evaluation.

If Seanan had been publishing any longer the world would literally be overflowing with her books. Do you SEE the length of her bibliography?!?

1. While I agree they are in some sense a fancy Markov chain, the word "fancy" is load-bearing there.
2. Calculators are all but useless in higher level mathematics, which is concerned primarily with symbol manipulation, a thing that LLMs are extremely good at.

When I see clumsy shut like "rude: hide", I sometimes feel like I wasn't a total idiot to want something better.

So you could, for example, tag a piece of content as bigoted, someone could elaborate on the tag, someone else could contest it, and there would end up being multiple axes of evaluation along which you could establish personal preferences and filters.
