Yes, I'd rather have it cited as an unreliable source than uncited. Every human will happily regurgitate misinformation they've absorbed unknowingly, so it's not that much worse than a confident human comment with no real cit

The Beanie Babies could at least be burned for fuel if we were really desperate and no one wanted to buy them (and the government didn't want to play Santa). Crypto is almost the opposite, we burn fuel to get it and if no one wants to

When I was in LA last fall, Waymo was more expensive than both Lyft and Uber. I half suspect it's an attempt to placate human drivers (and/or the corporations that hire them) for the time being.

Futurama delivery drones seem to be pretty quiet, at least. Even in the recent episode mocking Amazon. I guess we need to invent whatever gently humming propulsion hovering sci-fi stuff uses.

My senators are both strongly in support of this. Bill Hagerty's website's top news story is from yesterday, but it pretty much restates everything Trump said today. And I'm sure I don't need to explain Marsha Blackburn&

Fortunately, it's still pretty easy to filter these out. No idea why PayPal is ignoring this issue (I forward them to phishing@paypal.com hoping something will happen).

The popular LLMs definitely do have a bias toward certain phrases. For local models, someone was annoyed enough to make a modified sampler that backtracks when the model outputs a "GPT-ism" and regenerates with the output token pr

That could also lead to a depression. I haven't heard a lot of politicians here (Andrew Yang in 2020? does he even count as "a politician"?) with good plans for what to do when automation hits jobs even harder.

Simplifying to that point is more of what a Markov chain is. LLMs are able to generalize a lot more than that, and it's sufficient to "understand text" on a decent level. Even a relatively small model can take, e.g. even this
