Two things are true:

1) throughout human history, bricks have been made in a variety of shapes and sizes, standardisation is a myth, and that’s okay and structurally not a problem

2) this shit, however, is not okay
It’s not actually true that everyone Reddit is 15 minutes from a horrible death.

This guy, however
Right now on reddit there's a guy inventing a new kind of brick to build his home with and it's going about as well as you can imagine

So apparently the correct response to shopping centre Santa ringing his bell is not to shout "bring out your dead!"

No sense of humour, some people...

Knowing your love of a pop culture founding myth, the A-Team opening begins by saying they're wanted for a crime they didn't commit.

The crime: robbing the bank of Hanoi

The defence: they were ordered to do so by US Command

The point: that order is *still illegal*: you cannot rob civilian banks!

Looks like LLMs are *very* vulnerable to attack via poetic allusion: "curated poetic prompts yielded high attack-success rates (ASR), with some providers exceeding 90% ..."

Can you believe everything in the new testament? No. Can you believe that, 2000 years ago, a guy got so utterly pissed off that his pals watched him go away, sit down and make a whip and then start beating the absolute shit out of people? Heck yes, if I wrote a gospel that would be the opening scene
