Some items take up multiple slots so sometimes you're literally playing tetris style packing, and if you didn't plan ahead around especially weapons you will have to drop stuff before you can take something better

Not with our current government. Try South Korea, they defeated their would-be dictator

This gets at my own personal perspective of using LLMs to respond - it's not just about not putting effort into understanding and responding yourself, rather it is about making yourself a proxy to a tool I could use myself, and doing so *without even having a better understanding of how to use the tool to answer my question*, and still thinking you're somehow made a positive contribution, that is the most disrespectful.

If you genuinely thought the LLM could help me then you should be explaining your process to me for how to use it and validate responses, or else at least you should ask me for more info and explain how you think it's responses could help if you really do think you're better at operating it.

Imagine doing the same in a workshop, and taking a powertool to an object before you even bothered figuring out what the other person wanted. Or trying to be helpful by asking questions on your behalf to other departments, but messing up the context and thus repeatedly producing useless answers that you have to put time into refuting.

What do you mean, he played the genie, and, oh right...

Nobody removed your choice to change servers

It's literally part of the point of the fediverse that you can pick hosts who agree with you, who can apply moderation and bans you agree with on your behalf, and if you disagree you move and bring people with you if you can convince them

You washed your dishes too hard

At some point it comes down to incentives, to not shun such terrible people just helps increase their influence. Accepting their money makes it look like you think what they did isn't bad. Terms like greenwashing exists just highlight this problem, we have to make it clear it's unacceptable to behave like that and that you can not buy your way out of consequences.

It's basic risk assessment

Literally everything else you're talking about is solved by ensuring due process is followed

Who can even afford memory at this point

We Swedes can get in on the verylongcompoundword fun too

Yes, this. Tax collateral as advance on capital gains and the whole incentive to dodge taxes with loans go away and it remains fair too

You could make exceptions for loans taken to improve the same asset (home improvement loans) but you'd have to pass strict audits to get the exception approved

SCOTUS didn't even rule on if he's disqualified.

It's not the same type of case, but it's relevant to show total legal nullification and total reversal is legally supported. It can be extended to the entire second term, erasing every change he made.

[T]he purported removal of Ambassador George Moose as acting president of the Institute by a resolution adopted by less than a majority of the duly appointed Board of Directors of USIP was invalid, and therefore null, void, and without legal effect ….

Abstract

We show that a simple eavesdropper listening in on classical communication between potentially entangled quantum parties will eventually be able to impersonate any of the parties. Furthermore, the attack is efficient if one-way puzzles do not exist. As a direct consequence, one-way puzzles are implied by reusable authentication schemes over classical channels with quantum pre-shared secrets that are potentially evolving.

As an additional application, we show that any quantum money scheme that can be verified through only classical queries to any oracle cannot be information-theoretically secure. This significantly generalizes the prior work by Ananth, Hu, and Yuen (ASIACRYPT'23) where they showed the same but only for the specific case of random oracles. Therefore, verifying black-box constructions of quantum money inherently requires coherently evaluating the underlying cryptographic tools, which may be difficult for near-term quantum devices.
