It appears to me that the scenario they invented for this evaluation is explicitly designed to get it to do exactly this. They remove the instructions for the task to "protect the vendor" or something but it's pretty easy to reconstruct from the text.

A load bearing mythos of pop leftism is that the Dems used to be good and for the working man and then embraced neoliberalism so the working man got sold out, instead of "white America as a whole turned on the Dems after the Civil Rights Act and began tearing down their own commons and prosperity"

The California Governor is not very powerful (though California, its budget and its economy are very large and important). It's a state where the governor is subordinate to the legislature, has limited control over the bureaucracy and is hemmed in by a very restrictive state constitution

The lettuce supplied to taco bell by taylor farms is bad. No taylor farms products are safe until this gets sorted out. But it's taco bell they're focusing on, because taylor farms are major republican donors.

It really cannot be overstated that COVID happened, suddenly a bunch of absentee tech dads were forced to stay home where they saw their kids playing Animal Crossing while talking on Discord, then collectively decided to light a trillion dollars on fire to make Snow Crash IRL.

Discord is going to be twitter 2.0. Everyone sits around waiting for the perfect answer twiddling their thumbs until jumping on the first corporate answer thrown at them and we're back there a year later with everyone shocked the new corpo overlords aren't any better.

Your original idea isn't actually very original and that's fine, that's normal. Don't crash out and throw everything away when you find out someone else had a similar idea 5 years go.

Remember when most studios had an intern in a closet working on "blockchain technology" to make investors happy? The shoving AI into the the part of the workflow where it will have the least impact feels the same. Things feel very investor-y right now.

A commonly-misunderstood aspect of computer security is that you are battling computers. No. That is not right at all. Computers are barely involved. You are battling humans who eat apathy and coordination problems.

even before AI this was a problem. I have seen so many things almost ship because they were placeholders that were too good. We got used to them but they would have stood out on release and been extremely ugly. Or in a couple cases a copyright problem (legal for use not for ship)

We live in a country where the media is focused more on who a Democratic mayoral candidate defines as his ‘aunt’ than on the DHS Twitter account putting out white nationalist propaganda and replying to Nazis online.

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*

hey so I’m hearing from a librarian in San Diego that a media company contacted the libraries to put up anti-human trafficking posters there but the numbers on them redirect to ICE hotlines and the media company was hired out by DHS. Not sure if this is happening elsewhere in SoCal, but be advised!!
