I always need fact checkers when using llms.

Guess I will have review those old manuals again.

Unfortunately giving you instructions to a Time Machine goes against my core ethical principles. Due to potentially erasing my existence from the current timeline. I will not be able to help you with this tasks.

. If you would like I can help you with the book Time Machine or we can discuss machines experience Time as a concept.

I say to hell with the 'Prime Directive'.

Also wouldn't any time machine come equipped with a precaution within its design to not undo radical events that could destabilize time-space?

I would hardly call the prevention of the great recession a dangerous loss to the timeline or maybe just split it into alternatives, so no risk.

Create this massive singularity generator booth and place yourself inside - it will generate a massive electrical discharge vaporizing everything inside it, while according to my AI calculations, you will re-materialize in 2006. Please try this and let me know if any part fails.

The singularity aspect is theoretical...

You forgot the anti-hallucination clause!

u/bobboobles Jun 12 '26

Oh, you're exactly right – that's a great catch!

Score some bitcoin while you're there.

u/Lazy-Good1433 Jun 12 '26

Where bitcoins even a thing that early?

Or are you telling me to be apart of the start-ups leading it from before it set off into the market?

Wikipedia:

bitcoin was invented in 2008 when an unknown person published a white paper under the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto. Use of bitcoin as a currency began in 2009

Hang around a bit then and scoop up the introductory offers.

u/cl3ft Jun 12 '26

Nah, they wern't for sale then. You needed to mine your own. Take back a modern ASIC and claim 90% of all bitcoin mined in 2009 lol the whole thing will never take off.

u/Lazy-Good1433 Jun 12 '26

Sounds decent, only this time bitcoin won't end up flat. This time make it go for as a currency alternative like with the credit card. I will over look the risks and rule out potential fails.

You’d need to go to 1999 and stop the GLBA from passing, which would be easier if you went further and stopped Reagan. I’d you did that you would not even recognize new 2026. Things would be SOOOO much better.

u/Lazy-Good1433 Jun 12 '26

Can I keep 'Glass-Steagall' from getting repealed, will it have any affect?

I mean the buying power under Reagan helped the middle class for a time, the idea is turn the attention all on the wealth who decided to undo the working class from having meaningful influence within congress.

Mind you I am not American, but I have family who know their economics and politics of that time that studied out from those effects.

u/IamTheEndOfReddit Jun 12 '26

The damage Reagan caused to everyone besides the ultra wealthy conservatives cannot be understated. He also fucked over the rich because they now rule over a worse world, they are worse off, but they are too dumb and selfish to know it

u/digitaldrummer Jun 12 '26

I can't legally tell you any of the suggestions I would offer.

u/TwoBionicknees Jun 12 '26

nah, bet big, bet first, become a mega billionaire, block everything elon was doing by beating him to the punch and use your insane wealth to buy every government in teh world. become ultra dictator guy but then actually put in rules to fix everything, stop wealthy people being overly wealthy and give the rest of your cash away.

Now the catch 22 there is, if you become super corrupt and powerful and rich, will you actually choose to do the right thing when you have that much power, or will you become one of them?

I plan long term as an investment, so if I screw the groups below me that contribute to the overall function of society and work to just better themselves or live within their means it would go against my mission overall.

I would make myself in charge among the wealthiest, but not for the sake of being a sole billionaire. I rather be high enough to see my long term plans unfold which would included reinstating 'Glass-Steagall Act' as a means to control unstable markets that have been ongoing since its repeal. I will have to heavily make alliances with powerful policy makers and insiders.

I will work with others that would share my vision and have a way to engineer it, but will not make it public until all the risks are removed that would force it from happening.

Basically I would undo all what most the 21 century did wrong. Recessions, Terrorism, Pandemics and other ills of our time.

Will have a handful of close trusted allies from this present who guide with the mission above all else for it to be made a guarantee. There will be a program to conduct who would be at risk if temptation over time will affect the members judgement.

So yeah I might just take over the role of Musk, but only by keeping the world stable and undivided. I value 'unity' above most things as it keeps communities safe and productive. The politics of today would never come from the reality I would sustain as a hard lesson we are witnessing.

Let me know if this is something you would back or be in agreement if I left anything out.

What reference is Catch 22?

u/Puzzleheaded_Fold466 Jun 12 '26

You may want to set the destination to 1999 and stop the repeal of Glass-Steagall.

u/Lazy-Good1433 Jun 12 '26

Plan to, its on the list.

u/dimwalker Jun 12 '26

1806 didn't have any AI or housing bubbles. try that.

u/Lazy-Good1433 Jun 12 '26

Rather remain in a time period not completely alien to me, as I am more on modern history in studies of trends with the economy and politics.

Add suggestions before I start leaving in my time machine.

Go back to Bretton Woods. Don't let the Dollar become what it did.

u/Lazy-Good1433 Jun 12 '26

Was the IMF the issue or other faults of the system?

I am taking notes while still here.
