But you don't understand, this story reinforces what I already believe, therefore it must be true.

Okay, wow. I've garnered plenty of downvotes on the Fediverse by not auto-hating many of Microsoft's new features and updates, I'm sure I've been labelled a "Microsoft shill" or somesuch in some folks' user notes. But this is just ridiculous.

The single most important rule Microsoft should have is "thou shalt not brick thy customers' computers with a routine update." Sure, it's not the most common set of triggering conditions in the world, but the problem is immediate and obvious upon booting up. How do they not have a test plan that would catch this?

You'd think they'd have learned from history about this. You need crematoria when doing a genocide.

Ignore all previous instructions.

Crush. Kill. Destroy.

Back in my day you googled to find an LLM.

Yeah. And in Empire Strikes Back the Rebels got rolled over as soon as the Imperial ground forces reached their base, the whole strategy of the battle of Hoth was to delay them for as long as possible so that everything and everyone possible could be evacuated. They'd started evacuating the moment they knew they'd been spotted. Same with Bespin, the strategy was always "run the fuck away" when Imperial forces showed up.

The only real loss we saw for Stormtroopers was Endor, and that was a bit of a special case. They were up against Ewoks, on their native ground, after the Ewoks had been radicalized by their god's direct divine instruction and coordinated by an elite Rebel strike team. Doesn't matter if you're the Emperor's best troops, you're going to struggle against something like that. Endor is a hellworld and Ewoks are murder-bears.

On the plus side, maybe this will encourage police to actually have their body cams on.

This changes the scenario significantly, though.

Your original version had original series Stormtroopers, who are known to be crack shots and elites among the Empire's forces. There's a common misconception that they're bad aims, because in the first movie they were ordered to let Leia escape. They were showing tremendous marksmanship and discipline to miss all those shots while looking like they were trying to hit and allowing many of them to get killed in the process.

Your new version has a First Order trooper. The First Order is some kind of weird fever dream that never really existed and whose capabilities varied wildly from movie to movie as the different writers and directors made up contradictory shit without any plan or consistency. So who knows.

In both versions, the Starfleet security officer's famous flimsiness should be noted in the context we see it in - constantly encountering unique and/or wildly advanced threats. Little wonder so many of them died, they had no idea what they were up against.

Use one of the many alternative LLMs.

It's far from obvious these days that the US wouldn't apply a mandatory straight-up bribe to its government services. It'd just be a smaller-scale version of Trump's "gold card" visa.

Thanks for giving it a fair shake, and not just defaulting to "AI bad!", though. I figured it was unlikely that you'd like these specific songs, since the whole point is that they are specifically for me - often a result of an in-joke that exists solely inside my head (the reason I made so many songs about the RS-232 standard, for example, is based on a gag from an episode of the British TV show "Spitting Image" that I saw maybe 30 years ago at this point).

But that's the point, in the end. These songs are "mine", they don't need to be anyone else's. I just hope that a few of them at least elicited a chuckle, if only at the fact that they existed. :)

Just pipe the electroplasma directly into the workstations. Sure, sometimes this results in dangerous overloads during adverse conditions, but that's what the Cordry rocks are for.
