The article belabors the point a little bit. A deodand was any inanimate object directly linked to a human fatality -- from a runaway cart to a falling branch -- and it was usually condemned and destroyed. (Or surrendered to the King and

What's interesting is that you can't do the same with long-form AI prose. You can ask any given LLM to write in different styles, but it will always fall back on the same rhetorical and structural techniques, so the "new s

At this point it couldn't be more obvious that there's something terribly rotten in Israeli society. The "respectable" political center is afraid to talk about it, though. This only pushes normal people with well-calibr

I jailbroke it a little bit. It's running Gemini 3.7 Flash. Interestingly, I asked it a question, and asked 3.8 Flash the same question (as I no longer have easy access to 3.7 Flash) and the answers were NOT identical, as 3.8 Flash

It's the presumably human x.com screenshot where the paragraphs are repeated. The LLMs, though they all seem to write in that characteristic clipped tone which one can now spot from a mile away, really wouldn't make such a mistak

That needs an update: Winning wars, if you win in a clean and non-Pyrrhic way, is usually good for the economy. Losing at war is universally bad. And long stalemated forever wars can be just as bad for both sides.

Yeah, I just noticed that myself. I figured it's because GPT-6-Astra was just released, so it's a way of saying, "please don't cancel right now -- or at least take these tokens and run some comparisons for yourself.&quo

EU companies can download GLM or Kimi-K3 and get way better performance, though? I don't see any case for using a Mistral model when much better open models exist.

Isn't CYP2D6 inhibition the surer and more convenient route? Adding a bulky isopropyl group might reduce affinity at sigma1 receptors. Think about it: Going from 3-methoxy to 3-hydroxy makes for a very different drug. Wouldn't
