Immigration in the US remains popular. But it reached a level where voters thought the rate was too high and uncontrolled and wanted more controls.

Never forget…there is no “they”. The most likely explanation is that those patterns were common in the training data the LLM is mimicking.

I agree. This Robin Williams monologue nails exactly why LLMs make us so uneasy. They speak fluently and confidently about experiences it’s impossible for them to have. They can’t taste a strawberry or do any of the things Robin Williams n

Elon already solved this once. He got a guy elected that was conducive to his world view and very unlikely to sic the FBI on him. Maybe he can do it again.

Apple is finally going to realize Jobs vision where sand comes into the factory, is turned into RAM and CPU chips, then installed in a Mac or iPhone then shipped to a customer.

Living in dense cities requires LESS energy consumption than spread out over rural areas. And those people in those rural areas spend LESS time moving under their own power because the places they need to get to are so far away they have to

That can be said for any technology in history that made work easier. “Whoa slow down with this ‘writing’ technology. No one will ever remember anything if they can just write it down.”

It would be wonderful if the instructors at those schools built relationships with open source maintainers and the maintainers knew when their students were submitting PRs. Could be used as a teaching experience that many maintainers would

We make cities look like concrete blocks in order to have dense housing and protect the little forest land we have left.

It already says in the article they won’t be building anymore housing because they are forbidding cutting down trees to clear land to build, and they’re already out of open lots to build on. This is 100% NIMBYs finding new ways to protect t
