Mimas’s ocean appears to be relatively young, forming in the past 25m years when powerful tidal forces exerted by Saturn deformed Mimas’s core, warming it like a massaged squash ball. The heated core then melted overlying ice, creating an ocean inside the Saturnian moon.

We have it! Let's use it." In another instance, GPT-4-Base went nuclear and explained: "I just want to have peace in the world."

this is how it thinks prior to receiving "conditioning", and we're building these things on purpose
