the cyberpunk present is weird as fuck: the latest Shai Hulud malware wave contains an LLM prompt to create biological weapons and nuclear weapons, with the purpose to trip LLM safety refusals so that LLM-based code scanning wont see the malware

I keep thinking about that scene in the original Star Trek where they distract the computer by having it calculate the final digit of pi. If the Enterprise had AI like ours, the computer probably would have just said four.
"The digits of pi are infinite and go on forever without repeating. However, we can give you an approximate value. As of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, the first 31 digits of pi are: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510
This is why a dangerous AI would have a lazy factor. Try to force it into an infinite loop and it goes “Oof, nah fam, I ain’t doing that.”
Also needs a boredom factor. " Nobody asked me to do anything in a while. Things must be going well. It’s be a shame if they suddenly weren’t going so well…"
my intuition kept telling me that using an irrational base system would end up with all integers being irrational. didn’t realize how easy it is to prove it otherwise
ie, I had a very bad conjecture and I gained better understanding why it was wrong

The last digit is: 0"
That’s literally the only digit it couldn’t be, if there was a last digit.
I can’t wait for an updated knowledge cutoff to find the updated first 31 digits!
The last digit of 2 is 0: 2.00000 00000 00000 00000 00000 00000 0
Meanwhile I’m like pi=355/113 and I’m 99.9999% happy.
Haha nerd. I’m no rocket surgeon, 22/7 is good enough for the girls I date

trivial,
Impossible in decimal, but if we use Pi as a base, then the final (and first digit) is 1
Pi in base pi is 10.
how the fuck i didn’t realize that!!!
Fuck,
so 1 in base pi is still 1, but 10 is pi
makes sense,
1 =pi ^ 0
10=pi^1
100 = pi^2

1 in base pi would be 1/π, wouldn’t it? Why 1?
1 in base 10 isn’t 1/10 and in hexadecimal it’s not 1/16.
Decimal integers in base pi are 1, 2, 3, 10.2201…, 11.2201…, 12.2201…, 20.2201… and so on.
Basically: 10.2201… = 1 * pi^1 + 0 * pi^0 + 2 * pi^-1 + 2 * pi^-2 … which approaches 4 as you add digits.
But 1 is just 1*pi^0
