Right now YouTube is supposedly trying to crack down on AI-generated videos, so I think some of this is happening. I don't know how to feel about it since I keep hearing about honest niche channel getting caught up in it. Ultimately and unfortunately I think there's an equilibrium between slop vs genuine content that the platforms will tolerate or maybe even actively encourage. Youtube has GenAI tools built into it, so it's not much of a stretch for them to generate videos either if they thought they could get away with it.
Absolutely, it's been part of humanity since well before before Ea-nasir was dealing his copper. Maybe I'm being too optimistic of human nature, but I'd like to think most of the time we don't do it concisely. I think a lot of it is earnest things we've convinced ourselves of. Now we have a have a massive industry dedicated to programs that are amazing from certain perspectives but can bullshit at a unprecedented scale. Does GenAI really change things? Maybe not fundamentally but it certainly makes it a lot easier to bullshit even if people don't mean to. The well meaning people with bad ideas are still gonna have those. Maybe an LLM will convince them it's bad (or more likely play along), but the not so well meaning people now have new tools that they can explicitly use to extend their abilities.
A year or so ago I had to speedrun turning on developer mode on Android because my grandma had somehow installed an app that did a ransomware-like fullscreen popup after about 10-20 seconds after bootup. Could've factory reset it and called it, but wanted to try to rescue it for my grandma. Used adb to figure out what app was doing it and removed it. I might be misremembering details, but I think one of the reasons it could do what it was doing was it was using Samsung-specific permissions, which Google shouldn't allow on the store. I reported the app and looks like it's gone now.
I had a science teacher in high school 30 years ago who was convinced that the current pope was the anti-christ spoken of in Revelation. US Christianity is very anti-Catholic. That's why Trump can talk about setting up telephone hotlines to report anti-christian sentiment, yet his administration does stuff like this. If/when Trump dies in office, VD Vance won't be able to control MAGA because Vance is Catholic, and MAGA hates him for it.
The alphanumeric codepoints are well placed hexadecimally-speaking though. I don't imagine that was just an accident. For example, they could've put '0' at 050/0x28, but they put it at 060/0x30. That seems to me that they did have hexadecimal in consideration.
It's a binary consideration if you think of it rather than hexadecimal.
If you have to prominently represent 10 things in binary, then it's neat to allocate slot of size 16 and pad the remaining 6 items. Which is to say it's neat to proceed from all zeroes:
x x x x 0 0 0 0
x x x x 0 0 0 1
x x x x 0 0 1 0
....
x x x x 1 1 1 1
It's more of a cause for hexadecimal notation than an effect of it.
Most of it is commented very well. Also I like it because it has a little bit of personal character.

I've never used gh workflow run, but I have used the GitHub API to run workflows and wanted to show the URL. I had to have it make another call to get the workflow runs and assume the last run is the one with the correct URL. This would obviously not work correctly if there were multiple run requests at the same time. Maybe some more checking could detect that, but it works for my purposes so far.
The average person willingly connects them to their wifi, why would TV makers go through the effort and expense? Maybe I'm being too optimistic though...
