do you know of a better source of predictions, and if so, why are you not using that knowledge to make a killing on the prediction markets?

random sites generally don't log carefully, or watch their logs if they do. so the risk to hacking them is low. this site almost certainly logs very aggressively. so the risk to hacking it is high.

based on differential risk, attackers will choose targets differently. they might reason that the risk/reward on this obvious trap is not worth it. but on joe shmo's php emporium, the reward is less, but so is the risk, and it might pencil out.

why do you accuse me of this? i'm deeply uncomfortable with that, as well. it's possible to object for multiple reasons.

if you squint, it's a halfway compelling argument to legalize and regulate. that $1.80 in tax revenue could pay for treatment programs.

(i do not think the second order effects can be ignored so totally; nothing ever goes as planned in this world of madness. don't at me.)

the optimizer controls the future. it doesn't kill humans directly, it just outcompetes them for all resources, including livable human environment.

> we'd have to prove that firing the gun caused the murder. how would we do this? we'd need to redo the murder many times, with and without my client firing his pistol. that's extremely expensive and not really feasible. therefore, we must acquit.
