No: an LLM that doesn't confabulate will certainly get things wrong in some of the same ways that honest humans do - being misinformed, confusing similar things, "brain" damage from bad programming or hardware errors. But LLM

Question 8 on the form, “check if any part of this transaction is to facilitate a private party transfer,” is what he lied about. I phrased it loosely.

No, I'm not defending it, but this is a ridiculous false equivalence to compare a botched execution of a legally valid search warrant to lawlessly intimidating a whistleblower. (You're also not stating the facts, he clearly bought

This is still authoritarian bullshit. Your argument is that you think independent agencies are a bad idea, and therefore it's a-okay for Trump to simply ignore 80 years of law and Supreme Court rulings. More generally, nobody in the ex

The reason you are being downvoted to smithereens is that Bryan Malinowski was credibly accused of serious crimes (arms trafficking) wheres Daniel Berulis is accused of reporting serious crimes. You're making a preposterous and immor

The NLRB is one of many independent agencies of the executive branch created by Congrees, and they don't report to anyone except for their own boards. The president and Congress have influence over the boards but no direct control over

I didn’t say they shouldn’t be allowed to do it, and the only thing I said about “the theater experience” was sneering at the idea. I am talking about the film itself, and saying that these edits to the film are tasteless trash. Claiming I’

Man... I wrote a comment about how this project sounded tasteless and awful, but this is somehow much worse than I was expecting. The scene with the Wizard made me want to throw my tablet. Also, did they upscale the frame rate to 48fps??? H

I don't use Deep Research or NotebookLM myself (or any other generative AI product). But every example of a NotebookLM audio overview I've seen was actively misleading and ignored critical context. However the voices were very p

Woodlice - e.g pillbugs / roly-polies - aren't shrimp, but they are crustaceans, probably evolving from something like a trilobite.

No, because "bad dancer" is used to illustrate meaning changing in a complex way; it is a person who is bad at dancing, not a bad person who is dancing. Whereas "bad banana" is a bad banana; "bad" operates the

Were there any examples of "de novo" music generation using this? The only one I could find on the website was translating the vocals of an existing song, couldn't find any AI compositions.

> I learned that it was his way of trying to understand how world works. That if he dropped something, will it remain there or disappear. I don’t understand how you learned this. Who told you that’s what was going on in his head?

It’s far from perfect in newborns (containers take some time to understand, and in general infants have weak short-term memory). I also wonder how much effort goes into updating MCAT questions with new scientific developments, especially wh

Well, it's a good thing I didn't say "fundamentally unable to learn this"! I said that learning visual reasoning from video is probably not enough: if you claim it is enough, you have to reconcile that with failures in S

This seems to ignore the mixed record of video generation models: For visual reasoning practice, we can do supervised fine-tuning on sequences similar to the marble example above. For instance, to understand more about the physical worl

The "ferrying animals across a river" problem has definitely not been solved, they still don't understand the problem at all, overcomplicating it because they're using an off-the-shelf solution instead of actual reasonin

I am still dismayed how quickly we gave up on including the pre-training data as a requirement for "open-source" LLMs. As someone who thinks LLMs as akin to Lisp expert systems (but in natural language): is like including the C so
