Identical Wordle solutions - mine and the Wordlebot

Identical Wordle solutions - mine and the Wordlebot

β€œWe are as one” - my Wordle solution today is identical to the Wordlebot’s (words hidden to avoid spoiler).

Am I thinking more like it does, or is it thinking more like me?

It's a challenge. Last year I had a video interview with an applicant claiming to be in Stoke. Whoever actually joined the call was in a busy Far East cyber cafe with his cap pulled down over his face. Another kept pausing for 10 seconds after each question, then gave perfect AI-sourced answers.

The Electronic Identity (e-ID) The e-ID is the digital form of an ID card

Switzerland just voted to create a new electronic ID card (the Swiss introduced physical ones in 1955). It's stored locally on your device, you personally approve requests for your data, and is designed to prevent profiling. Contrast to, for example, Britain's centralized proposal.
