CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Decades ago, according to lore, someone connected Eliza, the "psychiatrist" program, to Parry, which purportedly simulated paranoia. I wonder what would happen today in a face-off between Claude Code and Mythos…

@SteveBellovin @newsguyusa It's really hard to do polling in countries living under authoritarian rule like Venezuela. I honestly don't know whether Venezuelans would tend to vote for a far-right party like the GOP as a rejection of their current socialist dictatorship, or tend to side with a center-left party as a desire for continued state intervention in the economy or rejection of the explicit racism of the modern GOP. My suspicion is that the Venezuelan diaspora would vote for the former, as the Cuban diaspora has, but I'm not sure about the folks that still live there.Which, if anything, just shows how absolutely batshit insane the GOP is to reject Latinos, especially those that have extremely negative personal experiences living under socialism. It's hard to pick a potential voter demographic that's more likely to actively practice Christianity, embrace social and fiscal conservatism, be harder working, and be more entrepreneurial than Latinos. If it weren't for all the racism, I'm convinced Republicans would be cleaning up with a pro-immigrant/pro-Latino platform.

@doctorlaura My fix was to call the front desk for help… The building engineer, after visualizing it via a phone picture, managed to move it with a pen, since the safe would open a couple of inches.

@SteveBellovin Needs hashtags to put it into eyes across the federation.

@joebeone I'm trolling @SteveBellovin whos in the room at https://www.nationalacademies.org/units/DEPS-CSTB-13-03/event/46521 and where there's a lot of discussion of (to frame it cynically) "we can't set technical policies, we need to align the trustworthy AI"
