Nope just ran it did exactly as I said.

Full output:

Finding a SHA-512 hash with 12 leading zeros is computationally intensive and typically involves a process known as “proof of work” where many hashes are computed until one with the desired property is found. Here’s an example Python script that performs this task:

import hashlib
import itertools

def find_hash_with_leading_zeros(prefix, leading_zeros=12):
    target = '0' * leading_zeros
    for nonce in itertools.count():
        text = prefix + str(nonce)
        hash_result = hashlib.sha512(text.encode()).hexdigest()
        if hash_result.startswith(target):
            return text, hash_result

prefix = "your_prefix_here"
result_text, result_hash = find_hash_with_leading_zeros(prefix)
print(f"Text: {result_text}")
print(f"SHA-512 Hash: {result_hash}")

In this script:

• The find_hash_with_leading_zeros function generates a hash for a string consisting of a prefix and a nonce.
• It iterates through nonces (starting from 0) until it finds a hash with the specified number of leading zeros.
• Adjust the prefix variable to a string of your choice.

This process can take a long time because it requires computing many hashes until the condition is met.

Would you like to run this script, or do you need further assistance with something specific?

They don’t understand but they are way better than youre making them out to be. I’m pretty sure chatgpt would give you the python code for this task, run it and then time out.

+1 for obsidian! Have you tried out text generator plugin? Uses GPT api’s. Haven’t gotten into D&D but seems like it’d be a great tool for DMs to help make content.

The author did a poor job of explaining that. He’s referencing the thought experiment of a businessman instructing a super effective AI to make paperclips. Given a terse enough objective and an effective enough AI, one can imagine a scenario in which the businessman and the whole world in fact are turned into paperclips. This is obviously not the businessman’s goal, but it was the instruction he gave the AI. The implication of the thought experiment is that AI needs guardrails, perhaps even ethics, or else it can unintentionally result in a doomsday scenario.

Its a monetization approach, same motives as what youtube does here with the ads so doubt itll ever go away.

So if a predator locks a victim in a closet, does that make lockmakers morally reprehensible?

Nah it was always an energy capacity and density per $ issue. Battery technology doesn’t improve as fast as compute but it has followed a steady ~10% yearly increase. Seems that when one tech plateaus another picks up. Solid state will get us to 4-500 mi/charge. Even electric planes will eventually happen.

If there’s n of something and n+1 breaks it, then it was broken to begin with.

I’d push back that US regulatory bodies are strong and successful in some areas and that nuclear power doesn’t necessarily need to fall under regulatory capture. Consider the FAA - not perfect but does a pretty damn good job of keeping the skies safe.

Not sure what you mean?

Have you used these tools for a complicated project? I’ve played around a little and it didn’t feel like turning off my brain at all, more like working with a genius drone and figuring out how to direct its skills to my ends and constantly evaluating the 10,000 foot view to edge the project forward.

Tobacco.

Yes. It causes cancer. Eg chewing tobacco.

You should look into starlink!
