That's what I ended up doing. Although some sites can still figure out an AI is driving playwright. I had to add an intermediary "pacing" proxy to buffer the actions so that it looks like a human is driving. It's a 100% vibe coded. The system has been a godsend for things like apartment hunting, and for buying a couple of used mountain bikes.

Back in 2010 I applied to a University of Washington work-compatible masters degree program in the computer science department. The counselor said it was almost all Microsoft people going through the program.

  If Microsoft and the UW create programs tailored Microsoft's needs, why not hold them near their campus? If they did hold it on the Seattle campus, it would either be in The Gates Computer Science Building or the Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science & Engineering. I didn't make those up.

Besides, the GIX is not on the UW Seattle campus. It's in Bellevue. Moving it to Redmond doesn't seem like a deal. BTW, the GIX has a Steve Ballmer Building. It's literally called that.

Here's a riddle. If you're driving in a car, how do you know when you've crossed over from Bellevue into Redmond?

You don't. It all looks the same.

Why haven't humanity's experiments with utopian societies worked out better? It's not like we haven't tried. Over and over. The closest successes I have seen are the anabaptists and the kibbutz. While successful, there is no shortage of hard work in their success.

Comment First election? (Score 1) 87

This will not be the first election I will consult a chatbot. I've been using AI as a research assistant for local elections for a while now. Before chatbots I used search engines to research candidates and initiatives. And before that.... You get the idea.

If you think only chatbots are given to untruths, look at what candidates and lobbyists write in print media. It's reliably as crazy as AI hallucinations.

Heuristics are bug ridden by definition. If they didn't have bugs, then they'd be algorithms.
