Across 21 simulations and 329 turns of play, the models chose to use tactical nuclear weapons in all but one game.
SVI··on Ask HN: What is the highest-quality AI-generated project you have seen?
Oasis imho. The world, gameplay, visuals, and rules are dynamically and entirely produced by the AI model in real time.
SVI··on The EU signals that VPNs are the next target following its age verification app

SVI··on Want to track the apocalypse? One theory: Follow the billionaires' jets
I think there has to be a consultation of some kind. From what I can see in the press the obscenely wealthy are willing to pay more tax, it is just a question of how much and how it is collected. Give them the opportunity to come up with their own plan and take it from there. Probably would have to be hypothecated taxation but that is no bad thing.

I saw a travel expert on the TV this morning interviewed on this. He said the only way to make it fair is for hotel bookings to include a lounger in the same way you book seats in the theatre. Obviously for extra money :)
