    That’s fantastic and I’d use it if I thought more people would get it.

      Yeah, you’d have to explain it over and over again.

      New liver, same eagles.

      In Greek mythology, Prometheus was punished for stealing the fire from the gods by being tied to a rock and having his liver eaten by an eagle, only to have it grow back overnight to be eaten again the next day. It’s essentially a never ending cycle of punishment (though he was rescued at some point in the story IIRC).

        So OP is wary of being punished by stealing some new knowledge from the gods, just like ol’ Prometheus?

        Stealing AI from the gods! OP’s liver being pecked at by robotic eagles!

        But wouldn’t “old liver, new eagles” make more sense? Or at least the same? It’s still his liver (regrowing), and new birds feasting on it (because yesterday’s birds might be still digesting you know). Or metaphorically, there’s always new problems to make your life shit.

      Prometheus stole fire from the gods. As punishment, his liver will be torn out by eagles from now on.

      Na those fuckers had to fly all the way from Mount Olympus over to modern day Georgia. They were tired birds and needed the calories

        Apparently there’s a Mount Olympus in Washington. Still quite a distance, but at least they avoid the commute over the Atlantic.

          Prometheus was chained in the mountains of Georgia, the country…

            If we can use the wrong Mt Olympus, we can use the wrong Georgia.

    I spent so long trying to figure this out because for some reason I was remembering Prometheus having his eyes eaten by birds.
