Republicans do a thing, baselessly accuse Democrats of doing that thing, so idiots conclude "oh, both sides are accusing each other of doing that thing, it's probably not happening."

LLMs are fundamentally a dead end though. If we ever create AGI, it will be a qualitatively different thing from an LLM.

You'd be right in this case too. It's extremely sketchy, it's pretty much absolute censorship power with only an informal promise that it won't be used for anything nefarious (but a refusal to actually codify anything preventing that). "Harmful content" is left very conveniently vague.

"Hallucination" is an anthropomorphized term for what's happening. The actual cause is much simpler, there's no semantic distinction between true and false statements. Both are equally plausible as far as a language model is concerned, as long as it's semantically structured like an answer to the question being asked.

The danger isn't that it's smart, the danger is that it's stupid.

They don't need to do that, they could have just called him on a burner phone and threatened to kill his family if he didn't kill himself. Forensically indistinguishable from suicide, but absolutely murder by coercion.

My conspiracy theory is on some level, conservatives are aware that their worldview is at least in part a symptom of lead poisoning induced brain damage, so they rely on lead poisoning for votes.

The problem was the execution. A tyrannical Daenarys as the final villain after the White Walkers were defeated makes sense, but she was never actually given the time to be the Mad Queen. She should have gotten a whole season as the big bad after her entire arc from book 1 to present being the buildup to her reign. It's like they were given the bullet points of the ending and instead of fleshing it out into a proper story, they just used the bullet points as the entire source for the script.

If Mexican food gives you the shits, you need to eat more fiber so your digestive system doesn't immediately panic on contact with beans.

To quote FDR:

In my Inaugural I laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.

They'll also say they're too smart to be affected by advertising.

Social media addiction comes from algorithms designed to psychologically manipulate you into scrolling endlessly to maximize ad impressions. It's not a good thing.
