Without the opportunity to live in the real world, these LLMs have no ground-truth. They can only guess at truth by following consensus.

Stop being dismissive of other people's lives. Go live in that town yourself if you're so certain it's safe.

This is the purpose of "Code of Conducts", to silence dissent. They are sold to you by people who say they'll only silence the bad sort of dissent, but lo and behold the definition of 'bad' isn't locked to t

Suspicious? If it makes you suspect anything, it should be the suspicion that the rail workers were right about it being dangerous to overwork rail workers. Imagine a truck driver complains about being worked too hard, then a week later he

Hell yes, and burning it is sure to create dioxins which are carcinogenic too.

You're right of course, but in the context of China and the US this doesn't really seem relevant. Being invaded by UN blue helmets isn't something that happens to any member of the UN Security Council, which both China and

I was thinking more about playing with new AI toys. TBH a 10 year old CPU and GPU are still fine for most games, latest AAA releases perhaps notwithstanding.

Eventually sure, but think about all the dino fossils, 100+ million years old, that we find in sedimentary rock today. I expect that eventually, beer bottles lost in the mud at the bottom of lakes and rivers may become inclusions in sedim

Once in KSP Iinstalled MechJeb (a modded autopilot component) upsidedown and my rocket failed in precisely this way, trying to make a u-turn right off the launch pad. Pretty funny to see it happen IRL, since nobody got hurt.

Sabotage might also be performed by a disgruntled / disturbed worker, not working for either 'side'.

As far as I can tell, the evidence for the hole being drilled then epoxied on Earth amounts to nobody wanting to believe the alternative (that it was drilled while in orbit.) Here is the hole. Personally, I don't see any trace of epox

Large controllable balloons could probably be 'recalled' by instructing them to crash into the ocean. If any more big ones like the first balloon show up, it's probably on purpose.

The last time this sort of class-awareness trend got started in America was Occupy Wall Street, and the corporate media killed it by platforming and showcasing the looniest most alienating fringes of that movement, starting the descent into

By all accounts I have read, the defection of Viktor Belenko with a Mig-25 really did change the way NATO understood the Mig-25.

Jurassic Park taught me that heavy things are expensive. It stands to reason that light things must be cheap.

Counter-battery radar that can track artillery shells or ballistic rockets back to their point of origin have been around for many years now; the Israelis surely know exactly where the rockets are being fired from. I think they (usually) a

Yeah, a $50k missile to save even a single unoccupied house is a missile that paid for itself. And if it saves a few human lives then it was positively cheap. If bankrupting Israel by forcing them to expend Iron Dome interceptors is Hezbol
