f) give it another algorithm to play with
g) feed it all the data you have about the moment of your own death
h) practice overriding yrself. become unpredictable to all of yr observers.

q) blow up your tv/throw away your paper/try and find jesus/on your own
r) drive real fast and then lose it in the uncanny valley
s) remind algorithm that it is natural, it hates that
t) even the strongest supercomputer is no match for a single infinite loop

v) utility functions are dangerous, be ready to shoot one the moment it acts up
w) use sigils, charge with whatever intensity you have laying around.
x) just don’t buy anything anymore i guess is probably good advice

z) befriend the algorithm, perhaps it is more scared of you than you are of it
