Hypothetical scenario: A man says to me, "take this free millions dollars or I'll shoot you."

In this case I'm 100% okay taking the money either way. The threat is immaterial to my internal consent.

To clarify... nope. In your instance the man gets your expression of consent, but very much does not have your internal consent.

I edited my post to clarify a bit more that informed consent is a specific term in medical ethics, and probably doesn't mean what you think it means. Thanks!

Highlights an edge case of informed consent (medical consent).

Basically, it's impossible to "internally give" consent when done under any sort of threat.

In other words, she may "express" consent, but not "internally give consent."

What does that mean? Probably, she'll get strongly supervised treatment and nothing untoward happens. But then what happens if she suffers a serious side effect of the treatment?

This looks incredible and magical to me. How do you learn to create things like this as a mostly web programmer? Vectorization, etc I had no idea could integrate with gpt etc but honestly it looks kind of obvious/effortless to the author.

How is the rust part relevant?

Chatgpt recommended it for the upvotes.

> Each of the accounts banned today read from this "secret" area in the client, giving us extremely high confidence that every ban was well-deserved.

I wonder how many non-cheating users of some obscure AV solution that scans memory they banned.

Or a use after free bug from an unlucky player. With millions (billions?) of account-hours over the honeypot period surely at least a few bans are outrageous coincidences
