things are going to get even more interesting when new models that have been trained on these AI escape postmortems themselves escape from their own gyms and attempt to evade detection and shutdown

yes! just don't forget to `RUN echo '{"hasCompletedOnboarding": true}' > /home/user/.claude.json` otherwise your claude will ask how to authenticate on startup, ignoring the OAUTH token

IMO it's because there's both benefit and waste/corruption in these kinds of social benefit structures. some people choose to only see one or the other:

"these benefit everyone including those who don't use them directly! how could you be against it?"

"this money that I'm having to pay is either overpaid to corrupt vendors, or just straight wasted, why would we ever want to increase how much we're paying into this system?"

in reality you can't have one without the other. it's up to each person to decide whether they can take the bad with the good

New comment by mef in "MLB approves robot umpires for 2026 as part of challenge system"

mef — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 02:57:08 +0000

They had this during spring training and it was fantastic. The challenge limit meant it was used rarely, but when it was used it added a fun dramatic element. Players getting to stick it to umpires when they got it wrong, and umpires getting to smirk at players when they got it right.

And at the end of it all, some missed calls get to be corrected.

yup. traitors tend to keep dumb-presenting faithful around because they give the impression of both not being a traitor as well as being unsavvy and easy to manipulate
