Valve: “We need a credit card on file to prove you’re 18”

Me: “My account is 23 years old”

Valve: “That just proves your account is old”

Me: “A credit card just proves you know someone with a credit card”

For the 1,000th time: "AI" does not have agency and cannot think and cannot act.

Chatbots cannot "evade safeguards" or "destroy things" or "ignore instructions".

They do literally only one thing and one thing only: string tokens together based on statistics of proximity of tokens in a data corpus.

If you attribute any deeper meaning to this, it's a sign of psychosis and you should absolutely never use chatbots, possibly you should even touch grass.

I have officially reached the chapter in my life where "I could go for some ice cream" ends up with me in a major supermarket, wearing a bear suit, with my partner acting like this is a perfectly normal Alice behavior, as we stock our basket with berries and ice cream.

Now, normally people stop me *everywhere* to compliment my outfits...

No one said a word, or even did a double-take.

This bear suit is like an invisibility cloak 😯

It's kinda amazing.
