<p>Would it be possible to get versions of the files to see when certain words got added and I imagine certain words got removed?

<p>Try playing the game to win rather than playing it "straight". Or try finding the rules of the game or finding whether it's possible to win or lose, can you get 100% can you get 0%. What does winning mean?<p>In other words finding the game in the game can be a game.</p>

<p>Or if it's a club and the club has a car park for patrons only but the club is closed for renovations, or only opens at the weekend. But the club car park is very near a supermarket you go to which only has paid car parking. Can a club member park at the club when the club is shut to only go to the shop?<p>Would it also matter if the club had paid membership or anyone could belong to it for free?</p>

<p>It's hard to define and pin point what a "voice" is. Think about how you would describe the difference in voice of Tolstoy vs Dostoevsky, or William Gibson compared to Thomas Pynchon. You might have to read a lot of a writer to be able to notice their voice. You might even notice how a short story by an unknown writer resembles the voice of another.<p>Or think about reading something that might be stuff you could say in your own words but not actually in your own voice. Or maybe the opposite is a better example for you?  That's what some poetry is about. The gap between voice and word.<p>Stylometry is the study and measurement of text, so that can go some distance to quantifying the difference between voices and can help to programmatically identify a human voice but I feel that because a voice comes from a person, the recognition is also mainly a human response.<p>At another level its about communication, person to person with the intention and desire to communicate something. LLM text output may seem uncanny as it's hard to emulate the intention and desire and empathy present in genuine human communication.<p>I would be interested in reading what poets say about LLM voices. I wonder if many LLM labs employ them?</p>

<p>>honeypot<p>They explicitly say they proactively work with LEOs to report any and all things illegal. I wouldn't be surprised if they had members of staff directly employed by some agencies, they wouldn't be opposed to it. They do not wait for a court order or subpoena, they will happily give them data and will not wait to be asked.<p>Their range of acceptable content is wider than other cleaner platforms which gives an impression of anarchy and freedom and anonymity, but actually those other more censored and speech restricted platforms may actually be more safer, private and free from government and legal interference!</p>

<p>Apart from the supercar aspirational enthusiasts and the usual inspiration of innovation with concept cars give, I'm thinking of other audiences for this product. What's the actual future of this?<p>Ask yourself who would see the benefit of a vehicle that can jump over obstacles, other dangers or other cars?<p>Obstacles including barricades, flooded roads, tank traps, rivers, fences and burning cars.  Dangers might include IEDs, mines, destroyed bridges, barbed wire, stinger strips, active munitions being fired at it, etc.<p>Even without such dangers, jumping over moving cars would be useful in pursuits where getting in front of a target gives an advantage.<p>And the extra mobility would be useful in humanitarian and disaster applications where getting to and from those in need in a timely fashion may save lives.</p>
