There weren’t any zeros in the training data I got - the text seems to suggest that “0” is allowed but “zero” isn’t.

I think Shapez levels become procedural after a certain number of predetermined ones?

Same everywhere - it’s in the GSM standard

easy to remember, as 9/11 was a couple of days ago.

It was a staple of Asimov’s books that while trying to predict decisions of the robot brain, nobody in that world ever understood how they fundamentally worked.

He said that while the first few generations were programmed by humans, everything since that was programmed by the previous generation of programs.

This leads us to Asimov’s world in which nobody is even remotely capable of creating programs that violate the assumptions built into the first iteration of these systems - are we at that point now?

Was there actually anything stopping them before, other than some traffic cops with a grenade launcher, and some excavator operators frantically digging up the motorway?

Uhm, that phone was a Nokia 1110 - it could only store 100 SMS messages, didn’t really have space for these ‘memes’ you mention?

Like those spanner/socket sizes where you have to figure out the sequence 3/8 -> 7/16 -> 1/2 rather than just like 10mm -> 11mm -> 12mm

Not just that, but you might get less radiation swimming in the pool where spent nuclear fuel rods are stored than outdoors.
