To an extent it can help reduce wasteful steps. But there's nothing AI can do that can make it less irresponsible to reduce soak times, stagger the release across many environments, etc.
Played a run through, would be nice to be able to play more than 1 puzzle (if there's nobody to queue with quickly in multiplayer). Maybe let me play yesterday's puzzle or something, especially if I just figured out the ropes?
I read this and came away a bit sheepish not really grasping the significance of extreme focus on PRNG and entropy for basic things. Glad to see the rest of the comments agreeing. "What every experimenter must know"...
Be that as it may, it's missing the illogical point the other person raised. If your $300 painting was worth $10k when it got stolen from you, but 7 years later the market value is $1M, you don't say "I was robbed of a million"
Yes, that is how I read it as well. Email was just for fun, and the code came by a different channel (of course). The email the scammer sent wouldn't contain a code they can use to take over his account (of course).
On obvious spoofs I see "[email protected] <via [email protected]>". I think he means that it didn't indicate the latter. And if gmail phone app didn't fail to display headers he could have looked
Your analogy is different. They bought for X, then when it was stolen it was worth 80k, and at this random time today, it's worth $120k and he's saying he lost $120k.
> Who knows what hell can be unleashed on one's emotions nowadays with AI
This is key. I would "never" fall for a scam like this. But who knows for sure? I would also never cheat on my partner, but can I say with 100% certainty that some insane situation can't possibly ever come up where my many layered defenses are compromised? Can some sufficiently charismatic individual deliver a perfect AI script to me based on info from 5 other breaches, in my brother's voice, to make me give up a 2fa token in an emergency? Maybe! So just never answer the phone, ever
It's honestly irresponsible to pick up phone calls at this point. Phishers are really good, and every human has some weakness, so you can't guarantee you wouldn't fall for something -- perhaps one day a new vulnerability comes out and your old guidance is no longer perfect. Answering the phone at all is just putting yourself at risk
> What began as effectively an IRC-like alternative + file hosting and voice support is now being used as a replacement for forums and I think that's where the issue is.
IRC was always an alternative/replacement for forums for many people (there was always the IRC vs forums debate for projects, gaming teams, etc.). Discord is just better IRC (Slack would have been this without the self sabotage via limited free accounts and sleeping on voice chat for years). Now it's more... Discord vs Reddit. But think of all the lost lore on those IRC servers or random private forums that are now gone.
He did couch it in the caveat that once the hardware is there it'd more be a matter of thousands of people throwing themselves at the problem -- we're waiting I guess for the hardware to be good/cheap enough for those people to be widespread
