Wild how much this concept is resonating with me as a former Software Engineer now Professional Prompter. Very prescient.

    My contribution to the red rising discourse is as follows: - red rising is a 7.5 - golden son is a 9.5 - morning star is a 9 They will be extremely hard to adapt into movies or tv without watering them down so I'm optimistic but keeping expectations low.

    It's wild to me that real-estate agents are allowed to run for positions in the city they operate in and actively make real estate deals while in office.

    Models usually write way more code than needed for an elegant solution still. This makes perfect sense considering more output tokens = more revenue for the labs.

I've been putting this off forever. Seems like a slow start so I will probably keep putting it off unfortunately.

Fantastic concept! It's not often I get so "addicted" to a book. Read it in around a day. The worst part by far was the ending which seems to be a trend with Blake Crouch's books in my experience. Recursion being the only exception I guess.
