So how often is this LLM wrong?

The whole point of the thought experiment is that not everyone agrees that pulling the lever to kill the one man is murder and thus immoral.

> Would it really have a strong negative impact on your life to run your dryer overnight

Absolutely. That thing is loud.

1) is probably phrased wrongly. I think it isn't even research for the AI labs, it's just an inevitable byproduct of how they train and verify their models. That goes perhaps to the heart of how the mathematicians feel about it: what they thought was a crowning achievement of the human intellect is now a byproduct of a mechanical-industrial process. But that also means the AI labs can't just stop, because they need ever harder puzzles to be part of the training.

What ancient model did they use that it couldn't get the fingers right?

Sounds like artificial APM inflation coming back to bite the humans in the ass. If RTS players wouldn't mindlessly spam so many clicks, the target APM for the bot's limit would be lower. But as it stands, the bot just takes the inflated budget and puts it to better use.

Disagree about 3D Lemmings. Yes, the camera controls sucked, but the extra dimension opens up tons of interesting puzzles and interactions, and it's also aesthetically pleasing to watch them move around and change 3D objects.

There's an open-source engine for it called Loap that comes with a custom level pack, and I think the block-based design holds up better than the fiddly Revolutions.

> which is sort of an odd business decision

It's probably no decision at all, but merely poor coordination between separate departments.

Once a bureaucracy surpasses a certain size, odd side effects accumulate on their own, and the growing number of people affected by them seek to cast blame where no purpose ever existed.

The masses love clichés and stereotypes, which is why these "artiste" designers frequently miss their target audience.

> we need more projects like Anna's Archive

How would that be immune? It already has many copies of the same books and no way to tell which ones are erroneous or incomplete. A malicious actor could easily flood it with garbage.

That's all.

> New capacity takes 3-5 years to come online.

Why should that be set in stone? Surely there are corners that can be cut if there's so much profit on the table.

Should have linked their "Policy" page instead. That's where they actually talk about who they are and what they want.

Just trying to sort out the details. I think any story, even a funny one, improves when the facts are correct.

The scene in the park indeed requires the radio. It's not very climactic though; you're just arresting some drug dealer, not confronting Death Angel.
