- gentle reminder: online advertisements are so dangerous that the fbi recommends you use an ad blocker [1]. If there’s a social contract at play, users aren’t the ones breaking it.
Their behavior is abusive, and our behavior is self defense.
Let the ads networks do the hard work of 1) cleaning up their act, and 2) rebuilding trust before you worry about your end of the social contract.

I know, I know. I’m intentionally misinterpreting the OP’s clear intent (the stuff of comedy). And normally a small joke like this wouldn’t be worth the downvotes…
But, I think there’s a deeper double meaning in this brave new world of prompt engineering. Most chat isn’t all that precise without some level of assumed shared context:
These days the meaning of the phrase ai has changed from the classical definition (all algorithms welcome), and now ai usually means LLMs and their derivatives.
- Your profile states that you are blind.
I’m struggling to make sense of a your story. Why would a blind user bother putting on a VR headset???
- Do you know that big’s backyard ultra exists? Even more ways to get your sleep deprived fun.
- Another way to say that would be: the USA is finally doing to itself what it did to Iran. Toppling a liberal democracy in favor of an authoritarian cult of personality with the support of a fanatic religious sect.
- Is there any chance you've published your project? It would be fun to read the code.
- As a matter of local trivia, today (2025.07.01) we had a wind storm in vegas that downed many trees. :)
