Sweet. Now I just need someone to build one for phone apps, one for desktop software, and one for Web apps and I think I'll be all sorted.

You are worried a court might have to interpret a set of rules. Boy have I got news for you...

To borrow solutions from other doomsday senerios, the answer to grey goo is blue goo.

Yes, a better framing might be that they were negligent in not preventing the attack on a third-party.

They didn't explicitly instruct an attack to happen, but they should have done a hell of a lot more to prevent it from happening.

Yup, well there's your problem.

Interesting. I've been working on the same problem (you need stuff at a kid's level, but not aimed at kids, if you are interested in the content then it will be easier to learn): https://tailoredreaders.com/samples

I think I like your solution better than mine, which is basically generating children's books from user prompts.

When you say you generate stories from the films, are you summarising / simplifying the narrative of scenes in the film (to down level the language), or creating something new, just with the vocabulary the film uses?

Or indeed natural language to instruct humans.

If it was easy to specify exactly the behaviour you wanted then we probably wouldn't have contract law.

That sounds like an opportunity for GitHub to clip the ticket for providing a way for those businesses to support those projects more directly.

I know complaining about the site is poor form, but it is really hard to take advice seriously for a site that lets other visitors spam... just general internet things to other visitors.

Cute idea, but it is pretty clear the author doesn't consider practical consequences, so why should I trust their judgement about Tailwind?

And if you squint a bit and stretch some definitions... then tipping culture isn't a million miles away from bribing culture.

What is a tip if it's not a bribe to not spit in your food?

I'm a little disappointed that https://bribes.fyi/bribes doesn't redirect to that support page to be honest.

When I saw the name/tag line I thought this would be a travel advice site, but I like this so much more. Great work.

Yup. In other words, we totally could, but there is no reason to put the time, effort and money into doing so.

Yeah, seems to be the direction the US is heading in. I'm interested to see what the response to that will be from the rest of the governments in the world.

No need for everyone else to cut their noses of to spite their faces.

Not necessarily. A reproduction task as a spaced repetition activity can help embed learning. If you are trying to write that prompt there is no reason you can't refer back to the text book to build the prompt and check the output.
