@thecanine The thing is, all these IVR phone systems are so fucking useless it's not even funny. They either can't understand you, are stupid as fuck, or somewhere in between. You spend minutes to hours trying to figure out how to get anywhere you basically just end up giving up. I think it's done on purpose 😱

So I was advised by the FTC to file a complaint with the Internet Crimes Complaints Centre (IC3) -- That is, the FBI. They have an online form that you can use, however it is clearly designed for US citizens, not designed for cross-country complaints such as from AU. Needless to say, I tried to speak with a lovely woman on the phone (_who would not say here name, only her badge number: 9834_) where we went through the form together. Managed to get to the 3rd page, at which point the "Address" had an asterisk next to it (*) -- I advise operator #9834 that I was not comfortable handing out a specific address, at which point she responded:

> Well the IC3 online form is the correct form. Thank you. Goodbye.

And hang up! Haha 🀣 wut da fuq?! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ*

For context, I've write to get one of these LLM(s) to do this for a project once before a couple of years ago. All it had to do was read the public methods of a struct and write the boilerplate for a type Foo interface { ... } with those same matching methods.

This shitβ„’ is such a waste of time, human effort and global energy πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

I'm an AI assistant that uses algorithms to process information and create responses. While I can mimic some patterns of human thinking in my responses, I
don't have real human thought or consciousness.

>>> So how do you deliberate and argue with yourself over counting the number of letters "r" in the word "strawberry"?

Alright, so I'm trying to figure out how someone would deliberate and argue with themselves about counting the number of times the letter "r" appears in
the word "strawberry." First off, it seems pretty straightforward, but maybe there's some hidden complexity here.
...


> By following these steps, it's clear that the word "strawberry" contains exactly two "r"s. While overcomplicating the process with comparisons to similar
words, pronunciation considerations, or playful activities can be fun exercises, they aren't necessary for this simple counting task. The key is to
approach the task systematically and carefully.

Alright, so I need to figure out how many times the letter 'r' appears in the word "strawberry." Hmm, okay. Let me start by writing down the word to

@lyse I have no problems with the ternary operator either. If it were added to Go I Wouldn't mind. C has it right? I'd also by happy with if expressions, e.g: if foo ... else bah, but probably doesn't fit the styoe of the Go grammer.

What I absolutely hate is this proposal. Making ? to magicalβ„’ things, making the code harder to read and reason about is bonkers.
