I was like dude I’m going next door to check the other hospital‘s price also what’s my name again

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

Summary: a (rather simple) AI bot can not only successfully evade survey-level protections, it can also mimic personas accurately across questions, parse photos/videos, and infer the researcher’s hypotheses to produce data that confirms them.

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.
