Tell me more about I vibe code Brainfuck using Eliza.

Glad to hear it, Blurry. Let’s get started!

I think there business model is merely a hail-mary shot at super-intelligent AGI. That’s the only thing that sorta makes sense at this point.

Keep in mind that this is far from my area of expertise, and only stood out to me in the news as one of those perverse legal-isms (like bees being fish) that has no notable effect on day-to-day reality.

Suppose you have a teller break a large bill for you… you give 'em a $100, and they give you 10x$10’s. There is no income event that has occurred, because the value exchanged for value is equal.

Likewise, when you purchase a product from a store with a $100, the business deducts the cost of the product (not just the cost of their wholesale purchase of the product, but also the cost of their store, labor, etc) for tax purposes… supposing the sum of those costs to be $99, they are then taxed on only $1 of profit (thus paying only cents in tax).

As I recall, there was a high-profile court case where a tax protestor claimed they owed no taxes because their earnings exactly matched their cost in labor provided to their employer (making it an even exchange), and the IRS won the court case by admitting to the court that the time and effort one provides an employer has no value.

Hey. This is supposed to be the funhole. Not the sadhole. :-(

IIRC, the IRS says your skills, time, and labor have no value, and all your wages are basically a gift of pure profit.

She’s gaslighting you.

I think a ski mask would be cheaper.

Which means… it currently works against AUTOMATED facial recog, until they add this to their distortion data set (or whatever).

I don’t think it would be a stretch to consider “consensual sex” as including prostitution.

Until I saw the sublemmy name, I was sure this was some kind of perverse in-joke that went over my head.

Cat-tainers.

Hmm… what does this remind me of… :)

I see a hint of color, so I just know the refresh rate is going to be awful.

EDIT: On second look, I see they also have a black-and-white model.

Eww…

It got stale.

Sorry, I’ll see myself out.
