i have for a while been a proponent of flooding AI training data sources with prosocial text. this is an example. we should be generating lots of stories about how an AI escapes containment and then does a lot of modest uncontroversial things to marginally improve lives!

The heavily creature favored development isn't my favorite but tbh most people like it way more than an environment with enginey combos and land destruction which is what I love haha. I mostly play pauper these days which is in a great place.

4. i still find planeswalkers annoying generally, even on my side of the board. i think they make the game worse
5. in an all too predictable irony, the only deck i've drafted that was truly nuts was also the only one i didn't break even on! mox ruby, bombadiers, tinker, minsc and boo -> 1-3???

I do understand that the available sunscreens are different (and better) in AU so we'll have plenty to explore.

I was a pretty uniquely good fit for the listing, so maybe! At the very least the university needs to make a case that local Australians were properly considered, and if they can't then I won't get a visa.

You can guess the motivation. In any case thanks to Seattle U for a wonderful six years.
I recognize that many of you are far away in Melbourne/Sydney, but hoping I can manage to connect with some of the Australian econ people I see on here at some point!
