That’s the power of not saying anything interesting, you can’t contradict it

We’ve actually already done that. KFC can’t legally call itself kentucky fried chicken anymore because they don’t serve “chicken”. Instead it’s a GMO non-chicken animal that fits all the criteria you mentioned. Open your third eye

I’ve said what I said came here to say. Meanwhile, you haven’t said anything at all.

AI is a garbage generating plagiarism machine. It’s not political

Yes. Think about what it is plagiarising. Datasets are biased; this is like statistics/ML 101.

outside of a single country where everything has to look political to prevent people from voting independent,

You can just say the country, and also, this doesn’t really make any sense. Am I to infer that, if things weren’t political, people would vote (a famously political action) for independents?

and the only regulation AI ever needs is one declaring all it produces a derivative work of all the material it used for learning.

I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more wrong with LLMs than just plagiarism.

Any attempts to ascribe further properties to that remixing machines are just natural intelligence equivalent of slop.

I’m not 100% sure what you mean here.

Anything worth talking about is political. What the hell are you on about?

Day 12:

P1

Ok. I have been traumatised by computational geometry before, so I was initially spiralling. Luckily, there wasn’t too much comp geo stuff to recall.

My solution was a lot simpler than I initially thought: no need for union-find, accounting for regions inside regions, etc. Just check every square for a given region, and if it touches a square in the same region that you’ve seen before, subtract the common edge. This is linear in the area of the problem, so it’s fast enough.

P2

It took a moment to figure out that I could modify the above perimeter counting to mark the squares containing the perimeter and walk along it afterwards, counting each edge. This is also linear in area.
