Maybe there’s a world where established companies license access only to their “preferred” agent. Not great for customers but more income and less headache for the company.

Nice! Yes if you place one incorrectly you get a strike and lose a point. 3 strikes and you’re out (or you have the option to watch an ad for 3 more lives)

Thank you for the feedback. I’m no puzzle making pro, but yes the decoy clues were my idea. Scores are based on time and number of errors, with preference given to fewer errors. So I liked that it adds a layer of strategy as to going fast vs. checking possibilities.
It’s been helpful for me to look at the promise of AI by comparing with the dotcom boom. Lots of similarities.

But the internet was a simpler concept for businesses. Basically it was you can now sell to people from their computers. AI’s promise is what? It can approximate reasoning about things? This is much more challenging implementation puzzle to truly solve.

We search for everything we talk about these days…our location services are always on. The times I’ve noticed this I can usually trace it back to a friend had been searching for something and then we (our phones) were in the same place. Even the guy from the lawsuit with the doctor… his phone knows he was at that doctor and that doctor offers that procedure. Seems possible without listening.
I was always wondering how far they knocked it off its original path. As in, if it were on a path to hit Earth and we impacted it at the same distance away, how far would it miss Earth by?

I’ve used Comply foam tips and can run and workout without issue. You can squish them down and then they expand to fill your ear. Better sound isolation too.
