The story isn't the hallucination, it's that people are using this shit in risky ways and ignoring the known problems with it. Engineers knew well before 1981 that building this [1] wasn't safe, but that didn't stop some

This will likely be an unpopular opinion, but American press outlets could stand to be a little less close to the Pentagon. They were given this access for a reason that was useful to the DoD / war department, which is something the Tr

But then all the tool's dependencies have to play nice with the dependencies of all your other unrelated Python-based tools. One thing you can do (I'm not saying it's user friendly) is set up the tool in a virtualenv and then
