I feel like there is a reasonable compromise between "yeah they have full internet access" and "separate airgapped rooms that require multiple levels of authorization to access" that would make this a lot better without that much more work. I feel like they're doing it intentionally to show how dangerous these models are and that the government must step in and protect them

Compromise is possible; but if the stakes really are what the companies claim they are, and given the amount of money already involved, I really don't see why we should let them compromise.

I desperately want to see some of these projects used in production by the companies or people making them, at best it might prove that it isn't just a sloppy publicity stunt

There is a PR for that https://github.com/librepods-org/librepods/pull/655

I tried it out, it seems to work well. Hopefully it's not blocked by patents

It seems like the right answer is usually the longest of the choices, I managed to get a few just by picking the longest. It would also be nice if there was a "I don't know" instead of guessing and skewing the results by getting it right, though maybe thats accounted for

> It seems like the right answer is usually the longest of the choices

You are correct. I tested that hypothesis about a dozen times and it seems that if you always pick the longest you’ll get it right somewhere in the high 70s to mid 80s. For anyone interested in testing for themselves, open the website to the first question then run this in the console (not going to spend time optimising it, it works well enough for the purpose):

  let loopCount = 0

  const loop = setInterval(() => {
    Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("button")).slice(0, 4).reduce((long, curr) => curr.textContent.length > long.textContent.length ? curr : long).click()
    setTimeout(() => Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("button")).at(-1).click(), 100)
    setTimeout(() => Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("button")).at(-1).click(), 200)

    loopCount++
    if (loopCount === 100) clearInterval(loop)
  }, 500)

Wow! great reproduce with less effort!

These were likely all AI generated, or at least the alternatives were. I made an app a while ago as well, and afterwards realized AI often wanted to make a very covering answer for the correct one, making it often longer than the others, thus defeating the idea of the quiz in the process.

Yeah this is AI slop I don't like..

Usually there were two answers that sounded like the word If read by someone unfamiliar, those were short, then either one or two long versions.

If one long versions you choose that, if two, then you choose the one that would be more useful to have a word assigned to it.

Also surprisingly mostly the forst or last option (might be bias)

Hahahhaha i got 62k points by just choosing the longest definitions. Great observation!

I believe they added it back after people noticed, archive.org has versions where its gone

Yeah, to me this isn't about whether or not it's "always free". It's about the rug pull.

"They put some of the rug back!" isn't enough to restore goodwill in my case.

What did they pull exactly? Nothing has changed about the product except for a small price increase (but free version is still great)

Yeah, I don’t trust their path anymore

I am fine with the price increase, for me its how sneaky they're being about everything. If they sent a few emails about the recent changes I wouldn't care, but it feels like they do not want customers to know which is the last thing I want from a password manager.

Indeed. As I'm sure the new PE-focused CEO knows, the sale of a company includes not just the typical balance sheet items but also intangible assets such as goodwill. Being sneaky about is an attempt to minimize the loss of such intangibles ahead of a sale.

I really want to use linux but for me its the software. Games I play use anticheat that doesn't work. Software I use for 3d printing doesn't work without hours of workarounds. VR is poorly supported if at all. Usually every year I'll try linux, use it for a month or so, then be forced back to windows after running into a hard block, with the dozen ads forced down my throat welcoming me back. Hopefully one day I can commit to it.

Yeah this is my experience too, but different software. Sometimes there are ways to get something to work after hours/days of tweaking, and sometimes the answer is just no. It's unfortunate, I like *nixes, and have used them off and on for 30+ years, I just can't do it as a daily driver.

I use a medium sized Australian ISP and got the same, maybe they just have whole regions blocked...?

Probably CGNAT, "Carrier-Grade NAT": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-grade_NAT

Huge, huge numbers of machines behind a single external IP mean that your internet access carries all their reputation by proxy. Since switching off Comcast to a smaller fiber company that uses CGNAT I've seen somewhat more Cloudflare challenges.

I'm also blocked, but I'm in the UK use a fairly niche and small ISP (uno.uk)

There's also a locked door in one of the buildings, but I couldn't figure out what either mean if anything. It would be cool if the radio was used for something though

Yeah I saw that too, but the list of all accessible rooms is also in the code and the only scenes I see are

  default
  sauna
  tent
  cave
  treehouse
  house-main
  house-cafeteria
  house-bedroom
  house-trophey
  boat
  telescope

It would be really cool if there were some secrets, but alas it appears not (unless it's obfuscated in the source as well)

The radio in the treehouse might be relevant. See my sibling comment.

I pay for github copilot solely for completions and use codex for actual agent work. I really wish I could pay like $5/month for just completions or there was a good local alternative for them.
