Hoarding bad, spending good. Timer on money = more spending.

Spy.

I always thought that was the point of the novel. At the end, they get rescued, and the ship captain sees what they have done. He is astounded that there could be such barbarism among British children.

It’s not about human nature, it’s about the assumptions of what civilization means.

I recently rejected an AI written paper, and left a nasty note to the authors about how they were wasting my time.

I use AI in my work. I have an exclusive use case: when I get admin documents that I have to fill in, and that nobody will ever read, I have AI fill them in for me.

But any time I do anything else, I use my brain. I tried getting LLMs to write research articles for me, and I found that there was no part of the process that they could actually help with. Getting the wall of text or bad list of references meant that I had just doubled my job.

It seems like there should be a good application for these systems, but I don’t know what it is.
