Yeah, this is interesting. You asked it to play geoguessr - and it played the game as a geoguessr player, by "guessing" the location, and responded like a player would. How much more truthful/accurate is it when you just ask

You are saying that there's enough irredeemable people in government positions that there's no government job that could suit their skill level? That sounds like a crisis to me. What happens when they're all dumped on the str

I am not sure I could achieve the distribution success of these two. That's worth celebrating. If I could, I am not sure that I would. This app seems actively harmful. I don't think it can actually do what it claims to do, and tha

The people of Flint, MI were (and some still are!) forced to drink bottled water for years when their water was contaminated with lead. When you drink from publicly supplied water, you accept risks that can be much worse than fluoride in yo

And that might have been true for a period of time. Advancements made it so they could become smaller and more efficient, and opened up a new market. LLMs today feel like the former, but are being marketed as the latter. Fully believe that

This isn't normal in Australia or New Zealand, at a national or a local scale. But you can't draw conclusions at a national scale from a local interaction, either way.

Federal worker salaries make up around 4% of the entire federal budget. On your stated figures, if you eliminated the entire government workforce, you would only be saving around 40 billion every 3 months. You would still be spending 960 bi

I would be very interested in hearing the types/examples of moderation concerns that users posted. This has been a worry of mine whenever I accept UGC on a website, and it might be good for anyone who plans on hosting a similar service

This one feels different. Musk and Trump are doing real damage to trust, US soft power and government institutions all of which have taken decades to build. They're trying to do things that could lead to pensioners having their income

Here's how to tell, far easier: take the number of people receiving checks in that age bracket. From what I read, it was 44,000 ish, but I can't verify that. If it's not - it's still going to be a number far less than 20

So it's not 20 million checks, then?

I'm not worried about Social Security knowing if everyone in their DB is alive or not. I am only worried about dead people still receiving funds. How many of those 20 million are receiving funds? If someone is marked alive incorrectly

There's opportunity cost in fixing it. The problem is we don't know if it's actual fraud. The SSA might, or they might not. It might not actually be a problem, or a problem that is an acceptable cost of running the agency. It

The answer in formal education is probably somewhere in the middle. The stuff you learn shouldn't be obsolete by the time you graduate but at the same time they should be integrating new advancements sooner. The problem has also always

Accessibility is generally framed around providing accomodations to people with disabilities, but at its core it's about more people being able to access things they otherwise couldn't. By this metric we agree
