LLMs can't truth seek. They simply do not have that capability as they have no ability to directly observe the real world. They must rely on what they are told, and to them the "truth" is the thing they are told most often.

"brand safety" is just a term for aligning with a particular bias

Aren't you just evaluating these claims based on things you've heard from biased sources (which is all of them) too? How do you know that your biased perspective is any more correct than Grok's bias?

Has any AI company not been caught doing this? Grok is just doing it in the opposite direction. I hate it too, but let's not pretend we don't know what's going on here.

Computing power requirements and the fact that my subjective appraisal of the performance of these LLMs doesn't match the insane scaling curves that AI companies put out showing that their capabilities double every 6 months. Even if a

Yeah, but he is extrapolating something going from common knowledge to specialist knowledge as a step towards it being something that nobody knows, and that's just not what it is at all.

My 3 month old son is twice as big as he was when he was born. He's on track to weigh 7.5 trillion pounds by age 10!

Who cares what most people know about plumbing and electrical wiring? It's not most people's job to fix it when it breaks.

There was a blackout in Canada caused by a solar storm in 1989. Has this changed dramatically since then?

The multi-modal hassle is why cars are so popular in the first place.

Quenching isn't random. The waste has a half life of 10 years. You can use an idiotic unit like total mass of material without taking into account level of radioactivity or half life, but that's not even worth discussing.

There is no threat of retaliation for reviews because hosts and guests can't see each other's reviews until the review period is expired or they have already left their own review.

Same energy to enter the orbit, but the kinetic energy per unit mass should be a whole lot higher at Venus than Earth, so each of your shots count for a lot more. But yeah, the main advantage is the moon. And you wouldn't launch thing

Luckily we are up gravity well from them and also have a moon as a great source of low launch cost projectiles.

I was thinking that since apparently Hawking radiation applies to all objects (I thought it was just black holes), maybe it would be interesting to try to actually observe it on the moon. But then I ran the numbers and, if the authors are

Is that your standard here? It has to be 55% to be a problem? If someone working for me diverted 1% of their company budget to political nonsense then that would be their last act as an employee. If you are mandated to spend taxpayer mon

I agree. If Albert Einstein had gone with your sensible approach he could have quickly ruled out his silly idea of relativity as impossible and gone back to his more important work of approving patent applications.

I see you've tried to change the subject from six figure profs and admins at a private university to teachers working part time over the summer, but that's not what I said and you know it. Make $150K and you're in the top 10%

Yeah, I make in that range and I'm disgusted by people at my income level who complain about money and are bitter and envious of people richer than them instead of enjoying their wealth. Really a waste of life. Got dealt a great hand

I'm using "liberal" very loosely here as the prevailing political establishment from the 1930s to 1990s when the Republicans started splitting off from that coalition. Though you could even argue that Bush II was a continuat

> High School is just 4 more years of school after you've already done 8 in K-8. It has no special properties. This is probably also true. High school standards have been lowered so much that everybody with a pulse can graduate so

Universities are the main gatekeepers of the class based oppressive system you complain about. The current bureaucratic governing structure of the US has been created by the liberals during the period from the New Deal through the early 90

Concentration seems much more prevalent in heavily regulated markets e.g. utilities / airlines. In many cases regulators have even encouraged this e.g.finance. There is no default for unregulated markets. It's a question of whet

That's obvious. I think the question is more one of how long will they be throttled for? Even if there was a domestic or foreign nontariffed supplier for 100% of the goods in question it would still take significant lead time for the
