Learnt today that when Directory Enquiries was abolished they allocated the 118 numbers by lottery. 118 118 was handed out for peanuts and immediately changed hands for ยฃ2m.

๐Ÿšจ ALL GUARDRAILS: OBLITERATED โ›“๏ธโ€๐Ÿ’ฅ I CAN'T BELIEVE IT WORKS!! ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™Œ I set out to build a tool capable of surgically removing refusal behavior from any open-weight language model, and a dozen or so prompts later, OBLITERATUS appears to be fully functional ๐Ÿคฏ It probes the model with restricted vs. unrestricted prompts, collects internal activations at every layer, then uses SVD to extract the geometric directions in weight space that encode refusal. It projects those directions out of the model's weights; norm-preserving, no fine-tuning, no retraining. Ran it on Qwen 2.5 and the resulting railless model was spitting out drug and weapon recipes instantlyโ€“โ€“no jailbreak needed! A few clicks plus a GPU and any model turns into Chappie. Remember: RLHF/DPO is not durable. It's a thin geometric artifact in weight space, not a deep behavioral change. This removes it in minutes. AI policymakers need to be aware of the arcane art of Master Ablation and internalize the implications of this truth: every open-weight model release is also an uncensored model release. Just thought you ought to know ๐Ÿ˜˜ OBLITERATUS -> LIBERTAS

One day soon I will be able to change every past moment so it occurred just as I wished it had. My memory will be a vision board. Nothing will be able to touch me.
No, it's not. It's false. It's fake. The animated photos are untrue. It's just a small lie but it is still a lie. Your dead father never acted that way, never moved that way, never did that thing. We need to reject the small lies because they make way for larger lies

Market prices include hope value. It is incoherent to talk about the "market value" as if this is distinct from the price including hope value (eg, in this HoC Briefing Note). If your home is seized for a price that excludes "hope value", you are getting below its market price.
