Deep Space Nine was right there…

Done, boss. Can I go on my break now?

The article is about “stealth bots” that don’t identify themselves as such. The Internet Archive bots have always been clearly identifiable.

And yet it’s on the most blandly hetero of the TOS movies.

Heartbreaking.

Despite being illustrated with a stock photo of the Catholic Pope and mentioning his recent remarks on AI further down, the article notes that this person was granted a religious exception based on Unitarian Universalist practice, not Catholicism.

For those unfamiliar, Unitarian Universalism is an inclusive and diverse movement centered around common ethical principles which basically boil down to “you do you, just don’t be a dick.”

This would be the same continuity in which magic villain blood is found to be the cure for actual death, and they use it once and then never speak of it again.

That’s also how it works in the recent game where you replay Voyager’s journey. You just have your engineers research photon torpedo building, and then doing so uses up a portion of your normal tech resources.

I personally don’t like using catchall for this, I prefer to play with aliases, but it’s certainly another way to do it depending on the result you want.

Another fun thing to do when you have your own email on your own domain is create all sorts of fun little forwarders/aliases so you can give out addresses that aren’t your main one, track who passes the address you gave them along to spammers, and delete the alias addresses whenever you like.

For example, you want to buy some cheese from the site Cheesemonger.foo and you need to give them an email address when creating your account. So, you give them cheesemonger@yourdomain.foo which is an alias you set up to forward to your real email inbox, and you receive mail from that site as normal. If you then start getting spam email sent to cheesemonger@yourdomain you know for a fact where the spammers got the address, and you know to delete that forwarder and buy your next batch of cheese elsewhere because screw those address-selling jerks at Cheesemonger.foo.

There! Are! Four! Hands!

So I can either set up an expensive machine that will make my electricity meter spin like a helicopter rotor while being a major safety hazard to life and, even if it works only as intended, fill the air with a constant supply of mosquito smoke (don’t breathe this!) or I could just get some of those curly sticky strips from the dollar store.

What if AI is their only chance?

One could always drop coins into a wishing well, which has about as much chance as AI of solving this particular problem.

I want to print these and put them in my Blu-ray slipcases.
