One hack I always thought would be fun is to set it up where one person’s computer would start getting 78 nanoseconds slower than the time beacon at random intervals, not enough of a difference to be noticeable at first but over time that computer would slowly get out of sync with everybody else. Their game play would lag – just a little – nanoseconds are small – but nanoseconds becomes microseconds become milliseconds, etc and things that depend on time (internet applications mostly) would just start getting odd little glitches now and again

I am amazed at the code-generating/running GPT4. I fed it some large knowledge graphs I’d created in September 2021 and I had it create hybrid concepts where nodes intersected and THEN asked it to create MAXIMALLY chained hybrids, of which this HUGE one popped on, which means these are all connected concepts _somehow_. Now I can try to find out how.
