I agree with you on overloading - the real word here should be "expressivity", which is defined by language constructs that could NOT be syntactic sugared into a local context. Those may occasionally be useful, though not by its

Again, fallacy by Turing completeness. It's actually harder to make something not Turing complete - in and of itself this property is absolutely useless and tells you nothing about how practical something is.

This is the "fallacy by Turing completeness". Sure, and you may as well write full systems in Minecraft and create your own type system inside and whatnot. Macros can make some small specific uses safe, indeed. But they are not

That makes no sense without specifying what Lisp actually is. S-expressions are a generic tree, that's not a language, that's just syntax. Is it CL, Clojure, scheme? Like these don't even share a basic object model, it's

I'm also from the EU, and in practice many conservative parties have gone far from this root (though if we are being perfectly honest, many such parties have been hijacked and are actually just pushing Russian propaganda, see e.g. Hung

So by this very definition it's mathematically wrong to have a single axis for all that. Also, median person or position? The first is definable, the latter is hardly. There is no neutral/middle position in binary questions. What&

Who says where the 0 point of a left-right spectrum is? (If it's a spectrum even. We try to map multiple dimensions to this single axis for some reason, according to some particular countries' party-division). Reality does have a

I haven't looked at the particular case, but nazism is a particular thing - given Europe's history it's there for a very good reason in most EU countries. I don't know about the 'fat idiot', but in most EU coun

Decisive is certainly one way to describe cognitive dissonance and dropping their very own core points at the blink of an eye.

Who or what is this latter "globalist" view? Like it's such an oversimplification of multiple, independent actors' acts that it's just a plain bad world view/model. What would be the common goal? You need some

So you have a huge number of photos of white people in the training data set, but other ethnicities exist. So to make the otherwise white-biased dataset less biased, you try to e.g. add a hidden system prompt that whenever the user asks for

"Reality has a liberal bias" . Sure, every author has a bias. But a fair selection of human written sources will be pretty balanced (of course, given the ratio of languages, surely western models will have a western-christian bias

How can an LLM be apolitical if they had to choose a set of text to feed it, which choice is inherently political? Especially when the whole thing of grok is to have a certain very specific bias?

Everything is political, no one, no thing is apolitical.

Markets only work in well-regulated environments, this has been known since forever (Adam Smith). There is no meaningful competition in a marathon if I can drive you over with a car at the first 100m. And thanks fkin God that we have regula

Fairly sure that it won't turn off while the wheels are spinning at any speed -- with the engine off, you also lose power steering in most cases and can trivially cause an accident. Car manufacturers are not this dumb.

There are plenty of cars with similar features already. If anything, they make you aware that you are tired, so that you may choose to have a rest at the next stop or something.

The last one sounds eerily similar to what a for-profit company would do in case of a terminated subscription, that would be perfectly fine in the US, but would get purged by fire in the EU by proper laws that meant to protect the public. I

Well, "easier" may well be "one less dimension to encode data" in this case. Sure, this gives quite a few variations on how to serialize some data. But it's not like json's simpler approach would make data seri
