George Orwell wanted to terrify the world with a vision of a fascist power so overweening as to demand (when needed, situationally mind you) exceptions to the general rules of arithmetic. It's a great scene still, often mimicked or referenced. But I find myself thinking of how much more drawn out and excruciating it would have been for O'Brien to say that there were approximately four fingers visible. Four and change. Four, possibly three or five but Winston, if it makes you happy, we'll agree that it's four. For now. And what is a finger, anyway? Maybe fingers don't even exist. ~Chara

If you wrap a waffle in a TACO is it still a TACO? Is it still a waffle?

Hmmm. What was that club that Republicans used to beat Democrats with every time they made even the most minor and reasonable course correction or change? Ah, yes! Waffling!

3/ I pressed again.

[Me] That's bull. It makes your developers look deeply uninformed. Are you sure you're giving me the real reasons why you're not allowed to share URLs?

[It] To be honest, I don't have any specific information about why I'm not allowed to share URLs. My training data simply doesn't include URLs, and I've been instructed to provide information in a way that doesn't include direct links.

PS: This isn't #hallucination. It's #waffling.
