I'm very glad that the ?hints=search&q= hack to force QFO doesn't directly jailbreak the protections built into ChatGPT.
Recent-ish skills acquired/re-acquainted to:

Playing chess
Solving a Rubik's cube
Juggling a soccer ball 5x times
Overhead tennis serves
Double stop exercises on the violin
Being a piano accompaniment

Because of my kids.

At least two of these I actually enjoy.
This is the most gutsy thing I've seen all day.

IMO, live the simulation to the fullest of transparency, joy, and good vibes over secrecy, fear, and anxious vibes.

As always, it's the friends we made along the way.
If AI can create simulations, what's to say we're not in the matrix in a simulation, or that we don't become capable of creating simulations where there are entities unaware that they are in a simulation?

An old question revisited in the age of AI.
ADAPT OR BE REPLACED BY SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS EVOLVED WITH AI

Me: Chill with the caps. It's a good idea to keep a few colleagues whose role is to play devil's advocate because group think is dangerous.

Actually, you're right. I give up.

Let them create a devil's advocate agent.
4. He taught himself divination from ancient texts. All of his grandchildren's destinies were determined upon birth and name. Our names all sound terribly non-standard.
Some (tall?) tales:
1. He was top of his class - selected to go to Japan to further serve the Japanese empire.
2. He'd swim between Kinmen and Xiamen to co-ordinate trade deals. Swim.
3. He turned knowledge into wealth, and wealth to charity. A big donor to a Mazu temple.
Today is 10/10🎆

1. It marks the uprising against the Ching Dynasty, which ended in 1911

2. It's the national day celebrated in Taiwan, the sovereignty at the core the AI boom cause TSMC makes your AI chips

3. The fireworks celebration on Taipei 101 always looks like a terrorist attack aftermath
Oddly satisfying.

Some fun questions:

1. Can we detect LLM agents and goad them to site search when they hit a 404?

2. Can we detect existing users and provide "this is where you last left off?"

3. Can we double-down and just ask... "most people complete X or Y after where you left off?"
If we serve a 404 page that actually is a 404 http status code...

But we infer a confidence score using personalization and cookies... to implement a meta refresh..

That then gets you to a 200 status page with noindex on it...

I think we could spin up a better 404 user-experience.

Am I crazy?
On my father's deathbed, the tale of how a family of "communist" spies were provided safe haven during the 228 incident unraveled.

To my grandfather, they were neighbors first over political thought. To my father, it was a memory of my grandfather's greatness.

A greatness he chased his whole life.
Almost more year down, 3 more to go...

I wish politicians were more boring and less of a reality show.

This attack on free speech is concerningly creeping towards things you experience in autocratic regimes.
*This is a joke gif & John is not endorsing anything above that I said tongue-in-cheek, but we'd like to imagine a world where there's a SERoundtable article about it and 1/2 of us will laugh about it loudly inside our internal monologue (the other half that don't have an internal monologue, sorry)

Damn I think that's it. What a perfect name.

This might be a sign that I'm starting a Substack.

*This is dark humor. I'm in no real risk of being anyone's target, but somehow that soft power does indeed linger in my mind.

Silence is golden, yet my western education makes me want to be loud contrary to my eastern upbringing.

Buuut if we were to unpack, I'd say it's censorship and not smarts.
Hypothetically? It's work trauma in west Taiwan, where the culture is different and you once had colleagues who'd joke about spitting on you and your family. You have an uncle who spent a fortune on bribes, booze, and boobs, which your mom chose to save at the risk of disappearing. You saw HK fall.
