There's something deeply ironic about this being written by AI. Baitception, even.
This was my first thought as well

It looks like the article cited is from 2022: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/aging-neuroscience/arti...
>>> an ongoing global pandemic vascular disease that is being systematically ignored by governments,
Is that covid (vascular?) or something I have not heard of ?
It's Covid. As someone who only recently recovered from Long Covid after a long, arduous 2-year fight, I see his point.

Seems like good instructions. Do not steal. Do not murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not covet, but feed the hungry and give a drink to the thirsty. Be good. Love others.
Looks like optimal code to me.
> invisible, omnipotent and omniscient being intimately involved in their day to day activities
The statement above is independent of the (laudable) morality & ethics you're describing.

Y Combinator and other accelerators have job boards: https://www.ycombinator.com/jobs
A lot of VCs also have job boards, or they will list their portfolio companies and you can reach out directly:

etc

Fun! I was a bit confused at the end because there's no "victory" state or indication. I think I was expecting it to give me a new word pair once I got to the end, or tell me "come back tomorrow for another round"

Looks cool! Can you point it at app store reviews as an input source?

Is this one of those AI generated theses people try to submit as a joke? In Gen-Z slang this time?
". Adaptive systems are abstraction layers are polycomputers, and a policy simultaneously completes more than one task. When the environment changes state, a subset of tasks are completed. This is the cosmic ought from which goal-directed behaviour emerges (e.g. natural selection). “Simp-maxing” systems prefer simpler policies, and “w-maxing” systems choose weaker constraints on possible worlds[...]W-maxing generalises at 110 − 500% the rate of simp-maxing. I formalise how systems delegate adaptation down their stacks."
I skimmed through it but the entire thing is just gibberish:
"In biological systems that can support bioelectric signalling, cancer occurs when cells become disconnected from that informational structure. Bioelectricity can be seen as cognitive glue."
Every chapter title is a meme reference, no offense but how is this a Computer Science doctoral thesis?
Not that I can make sense of it all, but to be fair the last result has been demonstrated by Michael Levin's lab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5VI0u5_12k

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. I've always wanted to see this visualized and the marbles make it so tactile and real.
This phrase feels like the new em dash...
