Wait, does that mean that you could make an ASCII representation of a QR code that points to the URL that the QR code was made of?

How shocking!

Shouldn't 523 in that list of "other numbers" actually be 522?

I think there may be a counterpoint hiding in plain sight here: back in 1983 the washing machine didn't have a chip in it. Now there are more low-level embedded CPUs and microcontrollers to develop for than before, but maybe it's all the same now. Unfathomable levels of abstraction, uniformly applied by language models?
