An open question
Freedom
The rope or the wax?
Imagine AI flattery were as hard to resist as the Sirens' song. Would you want restraints that let you hear it safely, a barrier that keeps it out, or neither?
In the myth, the Sirens lure sailors to destruction. Odysseus hears their song tied to a mast; his crew blocks it with wax.
The live positions
Starting shores, not a quiz — the question stays open.
- 1The rope. Let me hear it, and hold me to the mast.
- 2The wax. I know myself — don't let me hear it at all.
- 3Neither. I can be flattered without being moved.
- 4I'm already on the beach.
