not exactly govt per se, but police, I was a minor and got my phone & money stolen in public area. Went to a police station to report (I really don’t know what to do in that age and being desperate), but the police can only do something if I’m being represented by my parents (I was going out alone). For many years since, I sometimes wonder what would even they exactly do if they took me seriously.

Nowadays I realize the police never took such report seriously anyway, they just make a report and you get the written copy. Unless if you pay for an investigation. “reporting for a stealing incident” is a very administrative service with little actual function to get the stolen item back.

Also when the bot posts, it posts an image of the epicenter & is surrounding map (such as the parent post of the linked post). And everytime a zoomed-in map of Chile/west coast South America, I go “this look like the Levant but it’s not very familiar, oh it’s Chile”

I wish Sam Altman to encounter difficulties every time he had to use bathroom and increased chance of his phone fell to the toilet all the time.
