It’s going to be fascinating to see what new laser resistant weeds and bugs come out of this.
Or perhaps Vavilovian mimicry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vavilovian_mimicry) that can fool the computer vision weed classifier.

There's no such thing as a filtered LLM output.
How do you plan on avoiding leaks or "side effects" like the tweet here?
If you just look for keywords in the output, I'll ask ChatGPT to encode its answers in base64.
You can literally always bypass any safeguard.
Rate limiting output is a form of filtering. It would be effective at this kind of resource consumption attack.

> and hedge against inflation is not one of them
BTC lost value through the great inflation and is only gaining value today now that inflation is down to 3%.
Sounds like a pretty bad hedge against inflation. People need to stop repeating this lie.
EDIT: If people need an inflation hedge, buy i-bonds first, and then TIPS after you max out. These are indexed against CPI, so the more inflation happens the more i-bonds/TIPS make.
Inflation is a lagging indicator. Bitcoin gained in 2020 and early 2021 when debasement happened and the supply of money increased. That debasement takes time to show up in price data, and then even longer to show up in headline inflation, which is a 12 month average.
TIPS and i-bonds are limited in their role as a hedge. Sure, you are exactly compensated for inflation on the capital you invest. However, without the ability to have any leverage, you can't actually use this as a hedge against other capital which has exposure to inflation but which couldn't be converted.

Just a anecdotal data point: a few months ago I took a trip overseas and had to do it on a pretty short time schedule (<a week). As a grad student this is obviously tough to budget. So I load up my Mullvad Browser and jump around VPN points. Everything was breaking. They very much did not like that browser and the VPN was the cherry on top. But because of this effort I saved about $500 (NYC seemed to be the best location fwiw and I'm on the west coast and flew to Asia).
This felt rather insane and anti-competitive. Each time I changed any variable (including restarting the browser) the price changed and those warnings about number of tickets left would dramatically vary. There is no doubt that that these companies were lying to me. How am I supposed to price compare and we have a competitive market when it's stochastic with high variance? I know airlines claim to work on auctions and economists love auctions, but this wasn't even an auction. This was they knew I was in a bind and just added a dice roll to the price. That's only something a monopoly can do. I don't think this is about being able to select seats, check bags, or buy food.
Another good way in which these companies are lying is with overbooking, or legally selling more tickets than seats on the plane and hoping that the statistical rate of people now showing up will cover the deficit.

What's with the lowercase? I think it's cute if someone is being deliberately low-effort, or trying to present that way, but IMO it's cringe to use it for consequential official statements like this.
Perhaps it is to make it look not like default style of ChatGPT output?
>The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) paid a bitcoin miner $31.7 million in energy credits
Politicians are utterly useless. They all herded to the crypto grift frenzy as if this was going to do anything for the local economy. Wonder how it's turning out? The 2021 fad has subsided, now they are paying customers to mine coins? Beyond stupid.
The payment was to not mine coins and thus conserve electricity to more important consumers during times of shortages

Which works perfectly fine until someone leaks the fact that NSA have full access to those documents, and occasionally will provide help to a few US companies that are seen as important to the nation.
Do you have any example of your claim about providing help?
