I've definitely noticed this anecdotally.
Especially with Gemini Pro when providing long form textual references, providing many documents in a single context windows gives worse answers than having it summarize documents first, ask a question about the summary only, then provide the full text of the sub-documents on request (rag style or just simple agent loop).
Similarly I've personally noticed that Claude Code with Opus or Sonnet gets worse the more compactions happen, it's unclear to me whether it's just the summary gets worse, or if its the context window having a higher percentage of less relevant data, but even clearing the context and asking it to re-read the relevant files (even if they were mentioned and summarized in the compaction) gives better results.

You're trying to put out a forest fire with an eyedropper.
Stock your underground bunkers with enough food and water for the rest of your life and work hard to persuade the AI that you're not a threat. If possible, upload your consciousness to a starwisp and accelerate it out of the Solar System as close to lightspeed as you can possibly get it.
Those measures might work. (Or they might be impossible, or insufficient.) Changing your license won't.
This one right here Mr. Basilisk

So why can’t other players detect this behavior and trade with JS, removing their edge?
Most exchanges do not reveal counter-party information smaller than the broker level. So you wouldn't know just from looking at market activity the same person causing the large futures move was also taking large options positions.

I did this route (sans the new Laos line, which was a bus at the time) in 2014.
The world really was a different place.
Shout out to 'The man in seat 61', couldn't have done it without it.

At 10Gbps it would take 3.4 seconds just to serialize the frame.

My favorite part of the "stochastic parrot" discourse was all the people repeating it without truly understanding what they were talking about.
Clearly all the people repeating it without truely understanding it are just simple bots with a big lookup table of canned responses.

I realise you can make games in any language/engine. But could you explain the language/system/engine you used?
How did you go about validating the game is fun? Did you end up having an intuitive sense for it, or did you need external feedback to refine the mechanics?
My steam deck might as well be a billionaire/balatro machine.
And only a few weeks ago the lawsuit started payout the 'early lump sum' repayment option for creditors.
