I'd argue the earliest humans probably traded sex for protection via having a partner, which isn't a resource or really a job anymore than "husband" would be considered a job.

But the value of these shells will fall

I get you, but "whatever the user attempts" "works out in their favour", seems pretty clear to me. If I attempt to win at the lottery, the outcome will work out in a way that favours what I want. It feels hard for it to go wrong.

Yeah the penny is crazy OP. Ultimately, if something can be done, you can do it. Ignoring what you said for a moment, which is entirely true.

Get rich, create company that is focused on sleep research and ways to reduce/eliminate it while staying 100% healthy, unlimited funds, top minds, and every month you can help speed things up significantly.

And if it's fundamentally impossible, you'll still have plenty of other goals to choose from, and you'll absolutely appreciate having the entire day free to do what you want while having to sleep, vs having to still go to work but sitting up all night.

The other catch is, while it states a cool down of 20 hours, functionally you'd generally have to be awake 23 hours, unless you had the luxury of being able to sleep at any time. Sleeping every 20 hours for 1 hour isn't going to stay at a consistent time.

I mean I guess it depends how strictly you take it. If literally everything works out in your favour, and you set out to build it, you'll know you're done when you don't feel inclined to do anything further because it worked out.

As far as using/repairs etc, you obviously wouldn't attempt to do so during times the coin is not in effect, you'd just wait till the next heads. When you attempt to use it, it will work out.

But even that can be potentially mitigated somewhat. You could say, set out to write a manual that even a child could understand for example.

I think the best path though would be to use it to make money, then once you have effectively unlimited funds, create companies aimed towards goals you want to achieve, and use the 12 hours to set out to hire the best, smartest and most loyal people in the world. You'll be able to pay them whatever they need. Any time they get stuck, you can use the 12 hours to guide them.

12 hours every ~4 weeks might not seem like much, but if you use that time to set everything up well and prepare for the 12 hours, you'll get a lot done in that time. The only issue is people at your companies trying to work out why the super rich super genius that was able to start all these things only comes into work to help every couple of months.

You'd probably want to come across as super eccentric or something as well.

Yeah if you take it at face value that one is pretty cursed. You're gonna get sleep deprivation affects and diseases pretty quickly if it only makes you feel rested. But it's entirely possible they intended it to mean properly and healthily rested. If that's the case I think it's a top contender, but still not my choice.

And which do you think Australia is?

PlayStation making you pay for their highest sub tier just to access demos.

But then I'll miss important plot points! How can I understand how they got into that position without the context!?

If someone doesn't know the answer to something and they guess, or think they know the answer but don't, they are wrong. If they do know the answer and intentionally give a wrong answer, they are lying.

If someone is in a competition or playing a game and they break a rule they didn't know about, they made a mistake. If they do know the rules and break it, they are cheating.

Lying and cheating fundamentally requires intent. This is important no matter what you're referring to. If a child gets something wrong, you should not get mad at them for lying. If they make a mistake in a game, you should not acuse them out cheating. There is a difference and it matters.

ChatGPT literally cannot think. It's not sitting around contemplating it's existence while waiting for inputs. It's taking what you say, comparing that to everything that it's been trained on, assigning a bunch of statistics, and outputting something based on more statistics that hopefully is correct and makes sense.

It doesn't know if it makes sense. It doesn't "know" anything. It's just an incredibly sophisticated version of "if user inputs 'Hi how are you', respond 'I am well, how are you?'".

It can't do things with intent. Therefore it cannot lie or cheat. It can simply output wrong or problematic text based on statistics.

In fairness, it was never legal to make thousands of copies of that VHS tape and hand them out en masse. Which is how you're getting it when you download it, from someone doing exactly that.
