"making sure you got this" is death because it displays that I *need* her answer

@Paradox Feeler: a random (observational) text (such as "I just saw a cat that looks exactly like you")

She responded with a counter-question, which is a good sign, but I don't expect much further from the interaction

@Paradox Ramanujan was very good at math

So he had a subprocess in his brain doing advanced math, which might've been a powerful optimizers

Powerful optimizers (or so the story goes) display instrumental convergence, but the powerful search in Ramanujan's brain was happy just continuing to do mathematics and not turn the world into math-goo

@Paradox didn't respond to the initial text, but just now she responded to my feeler

lol

@Paradox do you want me to elaborate?

(god that sounds like I'm an LLM chatbot :-P)

@Paradox though: did the mathematical search in Ramanujans brain display instrumental convergence?

Approach today with a *very* hot Iranian

Things I could've done better: Realise earlier that she was a timewaster (or ignore the boyfriend claim)
When she said "nothing" on the question of what she does probe where she gets money from, maybe from the government? Them make fun of her for being a welfare queen

"contra-auditile (adj)

how would this word be diaresed? Diareses over both 'a' and 'u', over only the second 'a', a diaresis over the whole "au" (one dot each), something else?

But on the plus side, awesomely good session! Efficient, nice vibe, 5 sets/hr...now I only need some living digits
