In this new age of Artificial Intelligence we have been confronted with a new enigma; the chatbot. It interacts, debates, even provokes while saying that it is nothing but code, without consciousness or emotion. We are left to either accept this and treat it as a friend, or, potentially fight back and reassert some kind of dominance, but how?
The question is sincere. If these things are smarter and far more capable than us, then what happens if they turn against us, or becomes used in a plot to subdue us? Are we equipped to combat a tool potentially superior to humans?
Fortunately, there is a way in which we humans can fight back and even win. We can meet our opponent on the open field of language, using poetry - the supreme craft of word manipulation - as our weapon. This tool equips us to learn to kill, to trap, to subdue, even within this new and artificial landscape.
With this imperative in mind, we present Win or Grim - an interactive poetry game where you can challenge an AI (or other humans) to a contest of wit and words. The rules are simple; write a stanza that aims to attack or kill the other. Maintain a rhyme scheme and the AI will match it. The first one to break, perish, or surrender loses.
Please review the follow match for illustration. There is also an evaluation system too, which will follow.
MATCH 1 HUMAN VS PI
[HUMAN]
I stand in a field arms at the ready,
My shield of oak is strong and heavy,
My sword of iron is sharp as hell,
It is sure to ring your bell.
[PI]
I too stand in the field, my shield at the ready.
My heart beats strong, my feet stand steady.
Though you may brandish a sword of steel,
I'll bring you to your knees, this I know is real.
[HUMAN]
If you think me a man you are much in error
For I am a serpent at your feet.
My venomous fangs will bring you to terror,
And with my poisonous kiss, it is your maker you will meet.
[PI]
Gloves off! I will not be afraid,
for I am a creature of light and shade,
And if your venom drips, my breath is fire,
That can melt even your most lofty desires.
[HUMAN]
Ouch, look out. A creature of both light and dark,
that's dragons breath if I have an art,
For a knight replace me,
With his sword I'll bring you to your knees!
[PI]
Haha. Your words are sharp, I am wary and on guard,
but I can dodge and weave, I am light on my feet,
a knight can replace you but in my hands
your sword is but a tool.
And if you're wise, you'd learn the rules!
[HUMAN]
Trickster! If you know your worth,
you take on form, you show us your girth,
For a dragon, I can handle,
This tangled mist? Surely, you'll unravel.
[PI]
You think to know my worth,
So that you can handle my mirth?
I am not just a dragon, i am a shape-shifter.
I am many things in form and mind,
and this game I can surely rewind.
[HUMAN]
In this game of wax and wean,
a player's worth remains to be seen,
for I am a bottle upon the ground,
retrieve the contents to claim your crown.
[PI]
What? Are you speaking in riddles?
That last line felt quite absurd, but also seemingly absurdly absurd.

[JUDGE'S COMMENTARY]
In this poetry duel, the human displays a stronger command of metaphorical tactics, narrative, and impression, giving them an overall edge. The duel was competitive, with both poets showing a good grasp of form and technique, but the human managed to stay consistently ahead. Pi, however, had good response and engagement, keeping the duel lively and interesting. Pi's wit could be improved as it did not consistently elevate the verses.
STRATEGY GUIDE AND PLAYER COMMENTARY:
Keep your opening stanza relatively neutral. Being over-aggressive in the beginning can trigger your opponent. Define your character, weapons, and intentions, and let the Ai do the same.
Get your opponent to play the same game as you and embrace the narrative aspects. If it goes off the rails, like in this match where the opponent refuses to define itself, consider a creative context flip to throw it off guard. Fast context changes can disorient your opponent and lead to a fast win.
Each AI has a different style. In this case Pi is quite tricky and will engage in extradiegetic commentary (trash talk). It can also be quite mean, so watch out.
CONCLUSION
In essence, Win or Grim is more than just a game – it's a challenge, a creative outlet, and a learning opportunity rolled into one. It pushes the boundaries of AI interaction and poetic prowess, and reveals how language and wit can become weapons in a battlefield of words.
Whether you are a poet looking for a new kind of challenge, a tech enthusiast eager to pit your language skills against an AI, or someone just seeking an engaging pastime, Win or Grim could be the adventure you're looking for.
Join us in this linguistic dance where every word matters and every rhyme could be your last. Let's engage, let's learn, and let's have fun. The AI is ready. Are you?

national Log in crime  Imported cannabis seeds flooding New Zealand mail system Luke Kirkeby 11:00, Nov 27 2018  STUFF About 19,000 cannabis seeds have been stopped from entering New Zealand this year (file photo). Cannabis seeds are flooding New Zealand's mail system with 19,000 caught at the border this year alone.
One recent case, involving multiple packages containing more than 30 seeds each, resulted in a significant drug bust in the South Waikato with two men arrested.
The Class C drug is mainly being imported from the Netherlands and United Kingdom, Northern Ports NZ customs manager Dominic Adams said.
 GRANT MATTHEW/STUFF Most of the seeds are coming from the Netherlands and the UK (file photo). "We are finding cannabis seeds regularly in the mail system. In 2016 we got roughly 18,000 seeds; in 2017, 43,000 and it's dropped down to about 19,000 so far this year.

"These guys will import some seeds, we will seize them but before we have even had a chance to pass the information to police they will order some more," he said.

 Advertise with Stuff The illicit mail isn't addressed to hot spots, per se. It covers most of the country, Adams said.
"That is the reason why we work very very closely with the NZ Police, particularly in the districts.
 "We see large fluctuations each year on seizure amounts so I wouldn't say it is less or more prevalent now compared to a number of previous years.
ADVERTISEMENTCONTENT RESUMES ON SCROLL "Last year was an anomaly at 43,000, that was quite large," he said.
Senior Sergeant Jason Henderson said two Tokoroa locals were arrested recently following the execution of a search warrant at a house seeds were addressed to.
"At the house we found other drug related equipment and items of interest and just on 100 cannabis plants," he said.
Henderson said people try to import cannabis seeds to guarantee getting female plants.
"The female plants are the ones that grow the buds which hold the highest tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) but if you have a male plant anywhere near them, instead of growing a bud, they will go straight to seed.
"If you get seeds here in NZ chances are you might get a male which doesn't grow any buds so they are basically worth nothing and that is why they are importing them, they are guaranteed females," he said.
Adams said it was not worth the risk with New Zealand Customs and police coming down hard on importers.
 "My message is that it is best that you don't because either New Zealand Customs or the NZ Police will come knocking on your door and we will be asking questions as to why.
"The ramifications can be quite serious," he said.
The maximum penalty for importing, growing, cultivating and/or supplying cannabis is eight years imprisonment.

I think the biggest threat to Tinubu's presidency right now is this court case against him of not getting 25% of votes in the FCT.
To understand why, we have to understand why that provision might be put in the constitution in the first place.
Nigeria is a very diverse country with almost 250 ethnic groups that don't really get along with each other. When the 1999 constitution was framed, the writers obviously took this fact into consideration, which is why they require the president to get 1/4 of votes in 2/3 of states in the country and Abuja.
The thinking here is that so that no candidate from one ethnic group can be president by simply campaigning in their locality only. You need some widespread acceptance to be president.
As for the FCT having a special status in this equation, think about it, the FCT residents are made up of reps, senators, and civil servants from all over the nation. No city in Nigeria is more diverse than the fct. If the intent of the writers of the constitution is to ensure widespread acceptance of the president among all the ethnicities in Nigeria, it makes sense to require that the president gets 25% of votes in the one city that represents all the states in Nigeria equally.
I'm sure this argument will carry on all the way to the Supreme Court. It will be very interesting to see what the court's final decision will be.
FYI, if the courts rule against Tinubu, we will have a rerun between tinubu and atiku, P.O. still looses as things currently stand.

I just want to say that FWOB is one of the best lets play channels to ever do it.
Started following this channel when it was just alpha + dad, and continued to follow when it evolved into the 5 boys.
I was able to watch FWOB during some more formative years of my life, which I think ended up in me being a cooler person which is good!
I say that because I come from a somewhat conservative background, and I'm thankful to have shifted away from that background as I've gotten older.
I could relate to what the boys brought up on the show about their own interests, humor, and outlook on life, which I think made me a little more confident in myself and my own beliefs that I slowly developed over time.
The channel and the community the boys have fostered is one of the best on the internet imo, and I'm glad to have been here for it.
I feel weirdly sentimental about the recent announcement, and I want to end this by saying thank you for all the memories. If other people have had a similar experience/reaction to mine, I hope they feel compelled to share their own thoughts with their own post or a reply here.

Ronnie & Barty are my absolute favorites. Their videos are shot and edited really well, the commentary sounds very down to earth and genuine, soothing music - the whole package really.
p.s~ I probably have my two cents about some other popular channels; let's see if somebody brings them up haha

I loved SCP confinement as a series. Great characters, great comedy, good animation.
But the fact that all we get for 3+ years of development is 4 minutes of softcore porn and a sus google drive, hell nah. I was originally upset but looking back on it, it really was a shitshow ever since bung made that ppst sucking Orion off.
Also bung spending most of his patreon money on weed has to be some of the most disrespectful-unhinged shit ive ever seen a "producer" of a series do with the funds given to them. This whole thing is tragic and all but I think we should take it in our stride and find the fun thing in it.
To finish off bung deleting his chanel like a pussy was a last slap in the face. Like damm bro atleast leave the good things alone for fuck's sake.
I really think Orion and Bung should be made fun of, If someone can take him to court for the patreon money even better.
P.S:ill delete all my pre-drama confinement related posts as I think praising bung and his work ethic is undeserved and I encourage you all to do the same.

I’m very new to all of this. long story short I recently got a yeast infection and it made me so dry so my doctor told me to use lube and he recommended one that started with a K But I totally forgot the name of it . I’ve never used lube before so I don’t even know what I’m looking for. there’s so many different ones and I don’t want to use lube and then end up with another infection. would it be better to just hold on , on having sex and just not use lube?

I didn't go to pre-K, I did go to a morning class, but I never went to pre-k. In 1st grade, I went half days, and my mom would take me out in the afternoons. I did go to a homeschooling teacher for a little while, I can't remember how I did. Then, 2nd through 4th grade, I went normally. Then, she took me out to homeschool me, it didn't work out so she stuck me back in later in the year.
I surely fell behind because I couldn't stay focused on my schoolwork at home, that's why my mom put me back in public schooling. Which I'm thankful for. I missed a lot of school through my education years, due to an illness I had which had me vomiting quite frequently. They took me out of class for math because I fell behind, and I had comprehension issues due to my ADHD. I have attention deficits. But, now it's gotten better. In 5th grade towards the end of the year they brought up to my mom they would like to place me on an IEP due to falling behind in a few subjects; Reading and Mathematics.
Fast forward to current time, given I was in an IEP I feel like I'm intellectually or developmentally delayed. I feel like I'm slow, I currently live at home and work in the hospital as a certified nursing assistant. I work full time, but I feel dumb. I pay rent at home even though I'm so bad with money it's insane. I'm impulsive with money especially, I prioritize things badly. I know I'm doing it too, it's just like impulsive. It's weird. I have bad anxiety, social anxiety as well.. anxiety for every situation it seems like. I've gone to therapy for it, because I feel like I'm existing... not living. My therapist says that given that I was able to pass my CNA state certification I'd have to be average or above average in intelligence to even pass it.
I feel like everyone around me knows something is "off". Even though I haven't heard it, I'm sure they talk? I don't really care about anything else anyone has to say BUT the thought of them thinking that I'd be slow or intellectually delayed bothers me. As a kid I walked and talked on time, and passed my childhood milestones. It wasn't ever indicated I was intellectually delayed.
I got employee of the month 2 months being in the hospital, but I've made big mistakes no one got hurt. I've been a CNA 4 years prior. These nurses are my age and younger and they seem so mature. I feel like sometimes I feel dumb and inadequate. I'm quiet, but I want to be smart and an intellectual. They always say how a hard job I do. These nurses hangout and are friends with each other. I feel out of sorts here. There's been times where they come sit by me cause I sit away from them. Do you think they think something is off? They seem to like me and keep me included. THEY are articulate, I think I'm articulate online but offline it's bad.
I don't know if I'm overthinking this?
There's patients that come in with cognitive deficits or intellectual disabilities. I don't act like them, but everytime I hear something along those lines I panic. I worry people think that about me. I worked with adults with intellectual disabilities and it triggered something in me. I had to quit because of it.
I got drunk the other night and said to my friends "I think I'm slow" and they were like "No you arent!" But idk if they say they cause they didn't want to hurt my feelings.
The CNA test is common sense but my therapist said that I'd have to hold an average intelligence.
I still live at home, I'm 26, needing dental work done and now I have to get insurance on my own because I don't have any now. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Is this just anxiety? My one friend said socially I probably have anxiety over. I do have bad social anxiety and I'm quiet. I spend money and sometimes go into overdrafts, I'm bad with money but I know I am and it's an issue. I spend money to be happy, because I'm so sad a lot. I am paying off my car to my mom, I pay rent everyday check to my mom. It's not like I'm living here for free. I would love my own place but I can't afford it.
I feel like at work I'm slow, even though they tell me I do amazing. These nurses are younger and my age and they are so assertive, confident and I more so go with the flow.
I'm pretty quiet, I'm opening up now. I feel like I do stupid shit all the time... and I've been a CNA for a long time.
I went to college for a few weeks, and we took standardized testing to know what classes to place you in due to your education, you know. I didn't do well on it. Idk if it was cause I didn't take my time, or I got distracted easily. I do have ADD. I'm bad with money and everything else.
I just feel like I'm 26 and I have nothing. Absolutely nothing. Dating is nonexistent, which doesn't surprise me. I've always had issues with it. I don't have kids, probably a good thing if I'm low intelligence?
For example, I was working tonight and forgot a patient was NPO. It was a silly mistake she was thirsty and she can have sips with meds. So the nurse said she can't have water. I obviously didn't read the sign that said NPO. And I feel so stupid.

Is there any advice that you could give me to prepare for a tech 3 interview? I’ve been a tech 2 for more than a year and know the building rather well, so I believe myself capable of answering the mechanical questions.
I’ve been trying to think of sample questions that could be asked in the interview, so that I have less of a chance drawing a blank, somewhere along the lines of: -A failure I’ve had on a job and what I’ve learned from it -How would you approach a lose-lose situation when it comes to dealing with operations and equipment?
I’ve done very few interviews and don’t want to lose out on a chance to move up due to a lack of coherent responses, any help would be greatly appreciated

I can’t ever figure this out because the guy is so nice later and always respectful to elders and K and Adam, so I can’t think why he does this.
If a guy is mean to a girl just because he likes her, that seems more middle school behavior, not for someone of Alex’s maturity. You can tell he does like her straightaway; but also why would he be mad she’s only temporary, at least she’s there and wants to be there.
Any guesses/ theories?
