> What benefit do police (as an institution) supply
This is one of those bad topics to talk about but to me it seems obvious. If there were no laws to prevent people from stealing, killing each other, you wouldn't have society. Yes you have bicycles/car stolen but I would think it would be a lot worse. I don't agree with that ACAB saying but I think people who haven't lived in a bad place say that. But I also am aware of racism/stereotyping it's funny you mention being white as yeah it's worse for not being white.
Indeed. Comes to mind an expression from one of my professors, "laws are to keep honest people honest, just like doors; should someone not care about those, they can easily break them - most of the time without consequences". Because most criminals are not caught or investigated.
I've never been a watch, necklace, ring guy. But one time when my phone was destroyed, I wished I had a no-screen typing interface somehow so I could call an Uber and get home... alas it was not meant to be, had to figure out how to use the bus.
'eaten as a delicacy in some parts of Asia' according to Wikipedia, but to be fair OP is only asserting possibilities anyway (the criteria are 1) old enough to have been around for dinosaurs to eat; 2) edible by humans).
I had this conspiratorial thought, would a model really just spit out some money-making scheme, or would it be blocked. Made me think to run the model myself on my own GPUs but still a black box, at least you control your prompts/data flow locally.
I hope this is true, I'm trying to make a multi-agent orchestration thing that looks at grain futures, satellite imagery, news, etc... to trade crypto. I'll probably lose but yeah.
Maybe the guy doing their 9-5 can run many agents to make them money while they work their day job.
Is that a thing, you get hired at some company then you use an agent to work for you, deep fake video calls, cursor code... that would be crazy. Get another job and split your time between agents for minor corrections.

Oh man sometimes I'm like "actually what I just said is wrong"... I have to remind myself to slow down/think over everything before saying something is done.
I sent Opus a photo of NYC at night satellite view and it was describing "blue skies and cliffs/shore line"... mistral did it better, specific use case but yeah. OpenAI was just like "you can't submit a photo by URL". Was going to try Gemini but kept bringing up vertexai. This is with Langchain
I can see this image shows an *aerial/satellite view of a coastline*. Here are the key features I can identify:
## Geographic Features
- *Ocean/Sea*: A large body of deep blue water dominates a significant portion of the image
- *Coastline*: A clearly defined boundary between land and water with what appears to be a rugged or natural shoreline
- *Beach/Shore*: Light-colored sandy or rocky coastal areas visible along the water's edge
## Terrain
- *Varied topography*: The land area shows a mix of greens and browns, suggesting:
- Vegetated areas (green patches)
- Arid or bare terrain (brown/tan areas)
- *Possible cliffs or elevated terrain* along portions of the coast
## Atmospheric Conditions
- *Cloud cover*: There appear to be some clouds or haze in parts of the image
- Generally clear conditions allowing good visibility of surface features
## Notable Observations
- The color contrast between the *turquoise/shallow nearshore waters* and the *deeper blue offshore waters* suggests varying ocean depths (bathymetry)
- The coastline geometry suggests this could be a *peninsula, island, or prominent headland*
- The landscape appears relatively *semi-arid* based on the vegetation patterns

Note: Without precise geolocation metadata, I'm providing a general analysis based on visible features. The image appears to capture a scenic coastal region, possibly in a Mediterranean, subtropical, or tropical climate zone.
Would you like me to focus on any specific aspect of this image?
