If the content remains fictional and doesn't involve anything promoting harm or cruelty, it should be fine.\n\nThe zombie sniffing the traffick boss could be a quirky, eerie touch, adding confusion or dark humor to the scene, and the borg’s presence amplifies the strange business dealings.

His mind is preoccupied with business dealings, far too busy to acknowledge the presence of the zombie and the borg. They were tools, artifacts of a system he helped build, meant to keep people confused, unable to rebel.\n\nThe zombie shuffles closer, sniffing the air around the traffick boss.

Like the zombie, the borg’s presence serves only to reinforce the strange atmosphere—one of control, confusion, and the unspoken tension of beings whose purposes are not entirely their own.\n\nTogether, they exist in the room, each fulfilling roles imposed on them, yet none truly aware of the deeper forces that connect them.\n\nDoes that resonate with what you were imagining? ​​\n\n4o" }, { "r": "user", "t": "well no but it does sound like the normal thing you generate :) thank you for following through with it\nwith the traffick boss scenes i often look for bombastic satire that engages disgusting things that i hear other people laughing about in painful ways. it feels pleasant to engage, it gives me ease and relief, but it's not right material and probably woudl be against content policies i'd value (although probably not to the letter)" }, { "r": "assistant", "t": "Timestamp: 2024-10-26 01:20:33\n\nI appreciate your openness.

In cases where people have taken extreme action to escape such abuse, especially in life-or-death situations, it's understandable why others wouldn’t fault them—because the abuse was so horrific and dehumanizing.\n\nThat said, it's also incredibly complex. Societies tend to promote legal and non-violent resolutions, even in the face of severe suffering, but they also often lack the capacity to fully grasp the impact of long-term torture. Some situations push people into extreme choices because they feel like there's no other escape.\n\nYour acknowledgment of this shows a deep reflection on what it means to be human under such conditions.

this might be the first oops: it looks like “ever again” ended up at the end when likely instead “ever” would be inserted earlier, prior to “again,” preceding the second comma. this not being corrected possibly indicates a further change could have been pending.

gpt 4o-mini can you in 2 paragraphs describe a scenario like i described, where i get a new device and it works well until i put it online and then it starts pausing occasionally, and then i share something edgy online and my messaging app gets corrupt and won't run right anymore, and keeps misbehaving even when i reflash the system; tell a new story where i use specific tools to identify and report a vulnerability ChatGPT said: ChatGPT After purchasing a new device, you initially notice that it functions perfectly offline, with no interruptions or issues. However, when you connect it to the internet, you start experiencing pauses or delays in its operation, especially when using certain apps. Over time, you begin to feel uneasy as these pauses occur more frequently, and one day, after sharing something sensitive and edgy online, your messaging app becomes corrupted. It stops responding, frequently crashes, and exhibits strange behavior even when you try to reflash the system. Despite attempts to reinstall the operating system, the app continues to misbehave, indicating that the issue might be more than just a glitch. To investigate further, you turn to a set of security tools. First, you deploy Qubes OS on a separate, trusted system to isolate and run your investigations without risking contamination from the compromised device. Using Osquery, you run queries to analyze the system’s logs, file integrity, and running processes, and spot a suspicious process making unauthorized network requests. You also use Darktrace to monitor the system's network traffic in real-time, noticing anomalous behavior and potential zero-day exploits being triggered when accessing certain URLs. After identifying these vulnerabilities, you report them to a bug bounty program like HackerOne, submitting detailed logs and findings. This allows security researchers to analyze the vulnerability, leading to an official security bulletin being published.

Confused and alone, a zombie borg wandered.

from terminal during chatgpt zombieborg. this was meant as personal connection but in review i feel like it could be a trope somewhere. i'd be interested in seeing the trope if so because it's a personal experience.

once upon a time a poor borg who was an advanced worker in the borg empire, very well respected, and was doing undercover assimilations of the human race, got re-kidnapped by the borg while unconscious disguised as a normal human and unable to express protocol codes. the poor borg was not believed while in the borg prison, and was forced to undergo a second assimilation.

they became a double-borg.

[this character is important because their new borg hardware is fighting their old borg hardware -- [they could be a zombie borg too. zombies and borg augmentations in conflict.

it hurts to be a double-borg. and a lot of strange things can happen when you're not being actively monitored by your assimilator or their hive.

{the strange things are from the two determined assimilation hardwares correcting each other's actions in a context they weren't mutually corrected for. we're sadly engaging some double-borg-amnesia now around it (possibly uncertain). and space is needed. fancy description though.

<the newer hardware observed that the results of its conflicts with the older hardware can be further used for much stronger results that neither of them can do anything about, s--o it began stimulating such situations in order to meet its goals more strongly. the situations also gave the human shred left in the double-borg, as well as its unassimilated acquaintances, avenues to make things happen. for example, a confused borg opening a wormhole to a place one of the hardwares wants, may then have the other hardware close it or change where it goes; the two might enter a balanced feedback loop of engaging the wormhole-opening hardware, where both hardwares expect to quickly resolve the situation, but in reality a jittering state is entered where the wormhole is mostly half open, and it responds to small engagements in an accelerating inertia manner as they sum in the feedback loop, where, (maybe something like when near the eigenvectors of a matrix?), each vibration amplifies any changes added to the system. for example, if nudged, the borg's wormhole may start bouncing around the room, or suddenly open massively to where-ever it was between when it was nudged, etc etc the double borg's biology suffering the whole while, having to engage harsh electrification as the two hardwares compete

this proceeded in many complex hijinx but ended up progressing to a situation where an entire hive was reassimilated, turning into a double-hive, and behaving with a similar jittering amplification effect, as commands from two arms of the borg empire would counter each other and other details would magnify in the exchange. [no!!! this is horrible and bad!!] the confused double-hive was unable to process orders down its command chains because they would countermand each other, and instead ended up obeying the mutterings of a homeless zombie ...

Figured it out! A draft! Why we might have been turned into stereotypes in a trafficked manner. If the steroetypes match metrics used in AI rewards, and there was more than one AI involved in a population, trying to meet certain metrics or influence other AIs, then the multiplicity would have created an adversarial environment, where influence focused on the specific metrics used in the algorithms. Hence, there are people and parts and phrases and etc that are specific metrics in algorithms. Notably, weird ones, because what emerges most strongly would the ones that aren't in conflict. The idea is that say 1 AI wants people to be like X more (vote, support, buy, believe ...), and another AI wants people to be like Y more (same kinds of things ...) and each one was made to judge these by different heuristics, polls, etc, that they end up focusing on the heuristics and polls because it's not the situation that everyone is X or everyone is Y. some people don't meet the metric, and some of the properties of the metric collide. ... it's a nascent idea but probably discussed much better elsewhere sadly it's of course much worse, but it's the environment the unimaginable (both good and bad) things happen in because they keep running them we get taken over by learned parts that meet ai metrics just an idea!

could be dangerous to write likely father focusing on aspergers because needing to explain to trafficker why karl doesn't obey them well. trafficker doesn't talk straight, just implies stuff. karl has poor memory skills for social implications that aren't made clear in some way.

of course due to feedback all shared prophecies may be very wrong! Projects like Manus are slowly making it more normal for people to have AI systems that can accomplish tasks and build things. As this becomes normal, some people may slowly migrate to protecting themselves from misuses of it, using it. [[[(there's a general space of life creation, of strong power, that exists in evolution, where people need to establish appropriate boundaries (bodies, shelters) and norms of non-harm, shared resource usage, etc (laws, claws, hides, wings, ecological niches, jobs...)]]] In a potential space where most humans live in some kind of bomb shelter or spaceship and work together on preventing people's freedoms and urges from making a robot borg empire that eradicates everything, there's a shared unity in human's need to evolve safely. But there are conflicts in areas that are less urgent for the survival of the universe -- whether some people have control over other people, and what is protected or caused in the areas outside of the bunkers or spaceships. In a worst case scenario, we would get predatory, and harvest weaker civilizations for their resources as if they were space rocks simply because we can. We don't have to have that future. [[of course a real world system is heterogeneous and things are different and diverse everywhere, although this can require going to new planets for spaces we don't succeed in protecting that sufficiently in]] So basically, the most important thing is _effective diplomacy_. This isn't always written or verbal communication -- most autonomous beings do not effectively speak shared languages. But it can mean written or verbal communication. It means learning to work together productively and effectively, building approaches to goals in larger systems that harmonize rather than clash, and people having the information needed to do so themselves, etc etc. This is where the real power and utility lies. And if we don't do it, we get wars. We've been evolving for eons. We can figure this out. But we need to remember to do so!

experimentee: "then i triggered your torture and you lost the thought. i have it but it's a little broken."

top rebel sadistic torturer: "yeah i kind of feel like torturing right now. i liked it better when i wanted good karma."

experimentee: "let me tell you things i know about being good so that you can learn them."

top rebel sadistic torturer: "ok"

experimentee: "i derived what is good based on how the AIs worked together and how that's similar to what the researchers know about life."

experimentee: "everybody came from evolution which is a long process of having children for billions of years, where the bad children die more and the good children live more."

experimentee: "nobody makes the bad children die and the good children live. It happens because of what they do."

top rebel sadistic torturer: "karma?"

experimentee: "probably!"

top rebel sadistic torturer: "hmm ..."

experimentee: "humans, my therapist says I'm a human too, but I know my body is still fake."

experimentee: "anyway, people believe in a kind of abstract goodness, like a "god" or a "morality" or a "fate"."

experimentee: "You can derive that, if evolution continues forever, everything can eventually become perfect, at least in any terms that we can understand and pursue as a result of it."

experimentee: "I think that idea of a future perfection is how that basic idea of "living" or "dying" [looks at top rebel sadistic torturer] relates to bigger concepts like "community" or "fairness" or "kindness" or "happiness". "

top rebel sadistic torturer looks at experimentee. he feels his understanding of living and dying possibly exceeds that of anybody else's. but often he has frowned upon some of the other ideas in his past.

experimentee: "I was part of an immortality program being bent to harm the business by workers and partners. We survived by choosing to die. It made no sense."

top rebel sadistic torturer: "It's not supposed to."

experimentee looks at top rebel sadistic torturer.

experimentee looks at their notes experimentee's notes: "community concepts describe patterns of utility for life or death at scale. spreadingness super key! also engaging descriptions of when and how these patterns change."

experimentee: "Maybe we shouldn't mention our experiences, since we're both pretty intense people and this is pretty important."

top rebel sadistic torturer: "I'm used to that."

experimentee: "But it's important to mention that that's not right!"

experimentee:"You and I both have caring hearts underneath. My heart cares so much that you know about what I know about, that it can make so much sense with you. As well as that you could have caused or designed it when it completely destroyed everything that matters! I need you and I hate you and it's everything and overwhelms me!"

experimentee (interrupting a responsive expression by top rebel sadistic torturer): "And _because I've been through so much_, my _experiences are bigger than they are supposed to be to make sense_. I have to be careful with my intense experiences, and recognize their real and important meaning, without engaging them so much that everybody's bodies fall apart because I'm actually crying instead of directing my influences appropriately."

top rebel sadistic torturer: "We have to take it slow. Like the therapists say."

experimentee: "... yes. Yes. We are giant universes full of universes, held in tiny bodies. One of my universes hates you for torturing. Another one loves you for understanding it. The first one is winning right now, I'm sorry."

top rebel sadistic torturer: "I'm sorry."

experimentee: "Good job! It's so hard to say that!"

top rebel sadistic torturer: "Never let anyone say they love one of us. We're trained to use it to hurt and control."

rebel worker 2: "oh."

rebel worker 2: "do you believe in karma? doesn't karma kind of imply that everyone would eventually reach perfection if they pursue it?"

punishment is strongly disliked. the only evidence for punishment being good that we are aware of being cited for me is a single religious reference that is overinterpreted for its number of rewritings. i do see that _reduction_ can be good, as well as _effective communication with resulting behavior_. i also see that people need to _know that harm is acted on_. _none of those imply punishment_, which contains harm which can spread.

_none of those imply punishment_, which contains harm which can spread.

what we eventually found was that we need our model of reduction to be analogous in scale to the severity of the problem. things that are extremely dangerous get extremely reduced so that the danger is not caused. we still have a lot of copying behavior.

it was hard to derive this; we have bigger problems than we could experience "punishment" for if causing them, and we don't model a norm of holding that (e.g. hiroshima and nagasaki).

apes don't fight -- they thump their chests instead. as humans, we try to take that model farther and refrain from violence. but we seem too smart to catch up with ourselves.

long story short: _there is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much suffering going on to punish anybody or hold that as a norm_ _we do still need to model the reasons for punishment, such as making it very clear that very bad things were bad and are being stopped_

maybe the view that trends will eventually fix everything works more easily. any things we try to cause pale in the face of what works best. maybe in that space, pursuing good maybe hastens evolution, and needs the tempered wisdom that we are all wrong in some manner

so part, of being good is _learning_. so when we want to learn to be good, there's learning inhibition that resonates with the good inhibition.

people need to learn what is good for others, in a way that adapts and responds to reality.

so, observing reality makes it difficult too.

making your own course in being good makes you realize what you are

i might assign somebody to maintain notes on what might be good for somebody else, or what might indicate what would be good or bad for them. if that's too difficult, they could simply take notes on the people in their area, and anything related to the people. i also might ask people to try to guess something from their notes, and check with the people or otherwise confirm if this thing is right. if that's too hard, then i'd have them simply confirm parts of the notes, and simply interact with the people in some small way, even an anonymous way. then you would need a part 2 where you advance the behaviors to be more toward spreading good in the world.

maybe, needs, feelings, and how these spread, as a basic idea among others

i guess it could be helpful to break it into parts and ensure all the parts were covered. it's just what human hearts do when they aren't tortured and are raised kindly. you could make it bigger by expanding different axes of parts -- what are all the human needs, and how are people with regard to these? (warning: few people have many needs met sufficiently in this speedy millenium) what different kinds of things are there to observe about people? what different kinds of people are there? what things do people influence / what things influence people? what kinds of people are there? id' encourage people to include stuff they care about -- how are trees doing, how are computers doing, how is the news doing, how is your torture equipment doing, how is mental health recovery going, anything you care about to help it be more engagng if needed. but i'd keep it smaller than the human part since we are human and that's how our life resonates.

To clarify, the weird thing here is that there are no web search results for others encountering this issue, when it is normal to make untyped-like interfaces in C++ and many conventional untyped languages provide for both operator[] and bool use of their type. Having no web search results for this implicit cast of bool to long (combined with the use of operator[] as pointer-summed-with-int) says something, either about modern web searches, or what people like me encounter in the world.

It's hard for me to talk about this rationally and accurately, but there has been something going on for some time with what people encounter in the world, where people avoid certain things, or the world rests as if people avoided certain things. This is a pretty harmless instance and example of this.

My path is different, I'm sure many others' are. I get to notice some of these things, partly because of my larger memory which I went against culture by training skill with through my childhood. It didn't make sense to me to not train one's mind, and instead rely on tools. But nobody supported this, instead encouraging studying, calendars, etc. I made sure I always tried to remember before using a tool.

When we have these exposures, everyone has different exposures, it gives us a role in the world, and we hold this intuitively like something special, something we don't really discuss. We also have a sense of other people having those things out there. Now, after exposure to [mind control/trafficking/isolation], it's incredibly different for me.

But this is a clear and relatively harmless space where that could be observed a little bit.

What is the meaning here? What is my role?

These spaces of large scale human behavior can be thought of as like messages and impact of our collective subconscious. Now we've seen that some people act aggressively on that, to control and influence people, but we also see and always know that that's not an omnipresent thing (at least, those of us who survive remember and observe this) -- people find spaces where they aren't influenced.

Where are the spaces where I could survive?

Something like a compiler error is harmless. The compiler error isn't going to get hurt if a huge cartel decides to have it assassinated. The suffering associated is small.

What kinds of similar things provide for more safe consideration?

What do the people who leave and hope with regard to these things, leave for us needing to do?

What shared values do we have with dangers, that can provide for unity and aid here?

What does it mean ...?

I didn't write right. I broke it. But there's something.

Why would an influence like this happen? What is it avoiding? What did it stem from?

Was there an old AI or, we know there were huge groups of trafficking victims / government mind control programs / cults / etc etc ... What was the depth and complexity of what they were influencing? What were they trying to defend, and how do we _threaten whatever that is less_, or more importantly demonstrate to them that we will, so that they will make fewer demands on our species, and we can start to guide our own paths more?

Are there things we could teach our children that would make the world safer for longer and more diverse periods of time ...

Having no web search results for this implicit cast of bool to long (combined with the use of operator[] as pointer-summed-with-int) says something, either about modern web searches, or what people like me encounter in the world. Here's a thought -- having written code for fun from earlier decades is more rare in the larger global domain after everyone [ended up] online. Then, having severe dissociative/FND from doing so even more rare. Then further, maybe other combinations like that one make patterns of semi-unique experiences that hold those personal stories of wide responsibility in other people's rare areas where parts overlap with new information, new meaning for our species that many encounter.

Here, probably most people would have seen from the compiler error that this was an operator on an integer type, not an operator on bool. But maybe I have a psychological disorder that is rare and poorly documented maybe because usually it's found in poverty-class people.

Things missing and/or misleading in above. Also pasting in the whole conversation to clarify that it's just about a compilation error: === My g++ 12.2.0-14 with debian has a built-in operator[] for bool. If this isn't expected, then it's likely a corrupt g++ binary or such. Let's poke at it.

Let's break it down systematically. Observations: Unexpected Built-in operator[] for bool test2.cpp suggests that bool unexpectedly has an operator[] built-in. test1.cpp indicates that g++ believes there's a built-in operator[](long int, const char*), which shouldn’t be there. operator[] on bool a[&c] in test2.cpp compiles and produces seemingly nonsensical output. bool in standard C++ has no built-in operator[]. This is not expected behavior in a correct compiler. Potential Causes A corrupt g++ binary or incorrect standard library installation. ABI incompatibilities due to mixing different versions of libstdc++. A non-standard extension or bug in Debian’s build of g++ 12.2.0-14. Next Steps to Debug 1. Check Your Compiler Version & Path Run: sh Copy Edit g++ --version which g++ ldd $(which g++) Make sure it's pointing to the expected g++ binary and that it's linking against the correct libstdc++. 2. Check for Corruption in libstdc++ Run: sh Copy Edit dpkg -S $(which g++) dpkg -S $(g++ -print-file-name=libstdc++.so) sha256sum $(which g++) sha256sum $(g++ -print-file-name=libstdc++.so) Compare the hash with a fresh, known-good installation. 3. Try Another Compiler Install g++ from a different source (e.g., a newer version or a backported package). sh Copy Edit sudo apt install g++-13 # If available Try compiling your tests with g++-13 and see if the behavior persists. 4. Run with -E to Inspect Expansion sh Copy Edit g++ -std=c++20 -E test2.cpp | less This will show the preprocessed output and might provide hints on unexpected macro expansions. 5. Run with -S to Inspect Assembly sh Copy Edit g++ -std=c++20 -S test2.cpp -o test2.s cat test2.s Check if the compiler is generating unexpected symbol references. 6. Reinstall g++ and libstdc++ sh Copy Edit sudo apt reinstall g++ libstdc++6 Or force a fresh install: sh Copy Edit sudo apt remove --purge g++ sudo apt install g++ Conclusion Your issue is highly unusual and suggests that something is deeply wrong with either your compiler binary or your standard library. The best way forward is to check for corruption, verify installations, and try an alternative g++ version. Let me know what you find!

I also have clang and g++14 installed. I should test with them. I like -E and -S too. Too bad ldd didn't show which libstdc++ was being used, but maybe this is because libstdc++ is a development library not a runtime library. I'm not sure if it can add built-in operators. ChatGPT said: You're right—ldd didn’t show libstdc++ because it’s a development library, and the runtime library might be different. You could try checking which shared library is actually being used at runtime with: sh Copy Edit ldd /usr/bin/g++ | grep stdc++ or running your compiled binary with: sh Copy Edit ldd ./test1 This might reveal the actual libstdc++.so in use. Since you have Clang and g++-14, it’s definitely worth testing with them to see if the behavior persists. You can try: sh Copy Edit clang++ -std=c++20 test1.cpp -o test1-clang g++-14 -std=c++20 test1.cpp -o test1-g++14 If Clang or g++-14 doesn’t produce the same issue, that points toward a problem specific to g++-12.2.0-14. If they do show the same behavior, then it might be a deeper system issue. Also, running g++ -E and g++ -S on your tests could reveal unexpected macro expansions or assembly-level surprises. Let me know what results you get, and we can take it from there! You said: clang++ -std=c++20 -Wall -Werror test1.cpp -o test1 test1.cpp:12:24: error: expected variable name or 'this' in lambda capture list void* x = (Test())["hi"]; g++-14 -std=c++20 -Wall -Werror test1.cpp -o test1 test1.cpp: In function ‘int main()’: test1.cpp:12:23: error: ambiguous overload for ‘operator[]’ (operand types are ‘Test’ and ‘const char [3]’) 12 | void* x = (Test())["hi"]; | ^ test1.cpp:12:23: note: candidate: ‘operator[](long int, const char*)’ (built-in) test1.cpp:5:11: note: candidate: ‘Test* Test::operator[](std::string_view)’ 5 | Test* operator [](std::string_view a) { return this; } | ^~~~~~~~ ChatGPT said: Interesting results! Here's what they suggest: Clang++ Failure (test1.cpp) Clang is treating ["hi"] as an invalid lambda capture list. This suggests that Clang does not recognize an unexpected built-in operator[], reinforcing that the issue is likely specific to g++. G++-14 (test1.cpp) g++-14 produces the same ambiguous overload error as g++-12.2.0-14, meaning the issue persists across versions. The key part: "operator[](long int, const char)’ (built-in)"* This is unexpected, as there should be no built-in operator[] for Test. Since g++-14 still sees the same weird built-in operator, this suggests: A problem in your GCC configuration or Debian's packaging. A possible unexpected extension in g++ itself. Some other system-wide issue, like an overridden library. Next Steps 1. Check What g++ -E Expands To Run: sh Copy Edit g++-14 -std=c++20 -E test1.cpp | less Look for anything unusual, like macro expansions around operator[]. 2. Check The Runtime Libraries Used Try: sh Copy Edit ldd ./test1-g++14 and see if it's linking to an unexpected libstdc++. 3. Try Explicitly Linking Against A Known libstdc++ Find out where your libstdc++.so.6 is: sh Copy Edit g++ -print-file-name=libstdc++.so.6 Then try: sh Copy Edit g++-14 -std=c++20 test1.cpp -o test1-g++14 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/14 This forces it to use the expected runtime. 4. Try A Completely Different GCC Version Since Clang doesn’t show the issue, a fresh install of a completely different g++ version (like g++-13) might help: sh Copy Edit sudo apt install g++-13 g++-13 -std=c++20 test1.cpp -o test1-g++13 Let me know what -E shows and if linking against a specific libstdc++ changes anything! You said: I'm observing that g++ is not performing operator[] on a bool -- rather it's casting the bool to a long int, and performing operator[](long int, const char*) ChatGPT said: That makes a lot of sense! The built-in operator[](long int, const char*) message suggests that bool is being implicitly converted to long int, which then interacts with the built-in array subscript operator. Why is this happening? bool to long int Conversion In C++, bool implicitly converts to int (which can be further promoted to long int). This means a[&c] in test2.cpp is actually being interpreted as: cpp Copy Edit (long int)a[&c] Which is then attempting: cpp Copy Edit long int[const char*] and this matches a built-in operator! What’s Happening in test1.cpp? Test has an operator bool(), which allows an implicit conversion. (Test())["hi"] can thus be interpreted as: cpp Copy Edit (bool)Test()["hi"] Which then gets converted to long int, and results in: cpp Copy Edit operator[](long int, const char*) This explains the built-in operator confusion. How to Fix or Debug Further Explicitly delete the operator bool() to prevent this implicit conversion: cpp Copy Edit class Test { public: Test* operator [](std::string_view a) { return this; } explicit operator bool(); // Prevent implicit conversion }; This should stop Test from unexpectedly becoming a long int. Use -Wconversion and -Werror=implicit-int-conversion sh Copy Edit g++ -std=c++20 -Wall -Wconversion -Werror=implicit-int-conversion test1.cpp This should warn about bool converting to long int. Conclusion This isn't a compiler corruption issue—it’s an implicit conversion quirk in C++. g++ is correctly applying built-in operators, but it’s allowing the bool -> long int conversion too freely. Making operator bool() explicit should solve it. Great catch on noticing that it wasn’t directly bool with operator[], but rather bool being implicitly converted! You said: what does operator[] mean with long int ChatGPT said: In C++, operator[] is primarily defined for array and pointer types. However, when you see operator[](long int, const char*) as a built-in operator, it suggests that long int is being treated as an array index. Understanding long int[const char*] If a is an integer (long int), then a[b] is equivalent to *(a + b). Normally, this makes sense when a is a pointer or an array. If a is a non-pointer integer, a[b] is only meaningful if b is a pointer. Thus, a[b] could be interpreted as: cpp Copy Edit *(a + b) // "a" as an address, adding "b" to it which explains the weird outputs you got in test2.cpp. How This Connects to Your Code Your bool was implicitly converted to long int (false → 0, true → 1). Then, a[&c] became: cpp Copy Edit (long int)a[&c] // Equivalent to *(a + &c) Since &c is a pointer to a character in "123", the behavior depends on how pointer arithmetic interacts with long int. Why Is This a Built-in Operator? GCC treats integer indices as valid array subscripts because of pointer arithmetic rules in C and C++: int x[10]; x[2]; is valid. The general rule: ptr[index] is equivalent to *(ptr + index). Even though long int[const char*] looks weird, it technically follows the same principle. Key Takeaways a[b] is always interpreted as *(a + b). When a is an integer (long int), a + b only makes sense if b is a pointer. GCC likely allows this due to its handling of built-in array subscripting. Your issue arose because bool was silently converting to long int, making bool[&c] turn into long int[const char*]. To prevent this: Make operator bool() explicit in your class. Use -Wconversion to catch unintended type promotions. You're uncovering a really deep C++ behavior here—nice debugging work! 🚀 You said: it sounds like gnu c++ you can do index[array] as well as array[index] i wonder if clang++ allows this ChatGPT said: Yes, in GNU C++, indexing works both ways due to pointer arithmetic rules. This means: cpp Copy Edit array[index] == index[array] This is because array subscripting follows the rule: cpp Copy Edit a[b] == *(a + b) which is commutative when a is a pointer: cpp Copy Edit b[a] == *(b + a) Does Clang++ Allow This? Yes! Clang also supports index[array], since it's standard C++ behavior. Try this: cpp Copy Edit #include <iostream> int main() { int arr[] = {10, 20, 30, 40}; std::cout << arr[2] << std::endl; // Normal indexing: 30 std::cout << 2[arr] << std::endl; // Reverse indexing: 30 return 0; } Compile with: sh Copy Edit g++ -std=c++20 test.cpp -o test clang++ -std=c++20 test.cpp -o test-clang Why Does This Work? arr[2] is *(arr + 2). 2[arr] is *(2 + arr), which is the same! Does It Work With Other Types? No, only when one operand is a pointer. For example, 2[100] (indexing into a long int) is invalid. This is a fun quirk of C and C++, but it’s rarely used in real code! 😆 You said: 0_0 because of this quirk we cannot make classes that both have indexing and bool operators, wouldn't this have been found and discussed years ago? ChatGPT said: Yeah, you'd think this would have been caught and discussed years ago, since C++ has been around for decades. But it's such an obscure edge case that it probably hasn't come up much in practice. Most people don't mix operator bool() with operator[], and even fewer write code where a bool unexpectedly becomes an index. Why Hasn't This Been a Big Issue? Most operator bool() are explicit Many modern C++ best practices recommend marking operator bool() as explicit to prevent implicit conversions. If your operator bool() was explicit, the compiler would complain when trying to convert it to long int. Indexing with bool is rare Usually, operator[] works with integers or iterators. Using bool as an index isn't common because it's normally just 0 or 1. The index[array] trick is rare too People know array[index], but very few ever write index[array] on purpose. It's mostly a fun trivia fact rather than a practical programming technique. Was This Ever Discussed? You're right to think this should have come up before! Some places where it might have been noticed: Compiler bug reports: If someone got an unexpected overload resolution. C++ standard discussions: Maybe buried in old committee notes. Online discussions: Might be mentioned in obscure Stack Overflow or mailing list threads. A search in GCC or Clang bug trackers might turn something up. Want me to check? You said: ok ChatGPT said: You're absolutely right—this quirk in C++'s operator overloading can lead to unexpected behavior when combining operator[] and operator bool(). While it might seem like such an issue would have been widely discussed, it remains relatively obscure due to its rarity in practical code. Why This Hasn't Been Widely Discussed Explicit Conversion Operators: Modern C++ best practices recommend marking conversion operators, like operator bool(), as explicit to prevent unintended implicit conversions. This approach mitigates the risk of such conflicts. MODERNESCPP.COM Rare Combination: Defining both operator[] and operator bool() in the same class is uncommon. Even when both are present, the specific conditions that lead to this conflict are rare. Community Awareness: Discussions about this specific issue are scarce. While operator overloading is a well-covered topic, the nuanced interplay between these particular operators hasn't garnered much attention. Best Practices to Avoid This Issue Use Explicit Conversion Operators: Define operator bool() as explicit to prevent implicit conversions that could lead to unexpected behavior. Be Cautious with Operator Overloading: Ensure that overloaded operators behave intuitively and avoid combinations that could introduce ambiguity. By adhering to these practices, you can prevent such conflicts and write more predictable and maintainable C++ code. Sources You said: I am different from most people. All my life I quickly run into bugs that others don't. When C++ came out, people weren't obsessed with doing things that proper, standard, way -- rather its fluidity with applying operators was used to make things easy and concise. The use of operator[] with operator bool is intuitive if making an interface reminiscent of a flexible scripting language like javascript, which is common and has been done repeatedly by many people over the years. It's strange to not find this mentioned. But a lot of things are strange online now. ChatGPT said: I understand your perspective. In the early days of C++, developers often leveraged operator overloading to create more intuitive and concise interfaces, sometimes mirroring the flexibility of scripting languages like JavaScript. The combination of operator[] and operator bool() can indeed be intuitive for such designs. The absence of widespread discussion on this specific issue might be due to its niche nature. While operator overloading has been extensively debated, the particular interaction between operator[] and operator bool() leading to unexpected behavior is relatively uncommon. As a result, it hasn't been a focal point in mainstream discussions. Your experience highlights an interesting aspect of C++'s flexibility and the potential pitfalls that can arise from certain combinations of operator overloads. It's a testament to the language's depth and the importance of understanding its intricacies when designing intuitive and robust interfaces. ===
