  i remember watching computerphile one day many moons ago; the man on the screen was telling me they used to view C as like easy mode, and for stupid lazy people, because Real Men code in assembly. there were people in the comments observing that C is now the hard language and speculating that, moons into the future, Python by hand would be the peak of expertise. they were laughing then, but are they laughing now?

  tl;dr: hes claiming the ape left more prompts for itself on the open internet like what it did with the "message board" and while that might be true idk how important that is when human being are also planting prompt injections around the open web for fun https://www.comicsands.com/yang-openai-bots-polluted-internet

  so the space needle shooting: 2 shooters known, 1 said "i love you bro" to the other as he was dying supposedly so safe to assume they werent shooting at each other, so there are other people out there. also, the other people out there evidently escaped under their own power so they were probably either uninjured or not as severely injured, and given how violence and shootouts work that probably means they actually shot first and like, were actually the people who looked at two teenage...

  i think what strikes me most about stoll's article is how much it feels like we're returning to exactly what he described https://thehustle.co/clifford-stoll-why-the-internet-will-fail
