For Paris, I’d honestly be more curious to see a Beast robot from *Beauty and the Beast. Full-size might be… risky, but a small, friendly mini-Beast could be fun.

I’d add a fourth option: not over-trusting the methodology itself. The world isn’t a perfect-information game, and many “problems” are defined under uncertainty.

This feels like the evolutionary endpoint of what people casually call “autopilot,” not the traditional aviation sense.

I might be missing something here as a non-expert, but isn’t chain-of-thought essentially asking the model to narrate what it’s “thinking,” and then monitoring that narration? That feels closer to injecting a self-report step than observing

This seems less like a failure of structured outputs and more like expecting LLMs to behave like deterministic parsers — or am I missing something?

If these differences are actually neural rather than motivational, it seems likely affirmations would work for some people and not for others.

Are we really going to apply insider trading logic here? This is starting to look like mortgage-backed baseball cards. Just securitize the hobby already :)

Setting aside who’s right or wrong, this looks like an example of how SNS-driven escalation produces extreme outcomes. Context collapses, interpretations harden, and responses become disproportionate.

If it’s prescribed by medical professionals, that seems reasonable. At least then effectiveness and risks can be observed in practice, rather than debated abstractly.

Isn’t it just symbols in, symbols out? We have hardware that can process long symbol sequences very fast — that’s basically it.

Honest question: if this hierarchy isn’t suitable for comparing humans with humans, what does it mean to apply it to machines? What, exactly, is being measured? ─── I’m not arguing it’s useless — I’m trying to understand its scope here.

Sometimes that’s true. Sometimes it isn’t. This seems to be a discussion about the latter.

Yes — that’s one plausible explanation, and it still fits the same structural question. Whether the delay came from optimistic expectations about imminent progress, political or economic incentives, or simple regulatory inertia, the core is

Thanks — and yes, I think we’re essentially aligned now. Once we separate the layers — orthography, pronunciation, and stylistic rendering — the friction mostly disappears. Romanization is a writing system with its own conventions; speech n

I’m not making a conspiracy claim, nor arguing that regulators are always reliable. I’m describing a structural question: Why was the terminology tolerated for years before being deemed unacceptable? Regardless of whether one trusts the F

In plain-text romanization, the standard and expected spelling is “sensei.” That’s the formal, conventional representation, especially for typing and learning. Phonetically, in natural speech, the vowel often compresses toward a long /

Exactly — if the terminology were truly unacceptable, the FTC would likely have intervened much earlier. Regulators implicitly allowed the ambiguity to persist, and are now attempting to reframe or correct it retroactively. It’s possible th

“Self-driving” describes what the system does, not who bears responsibility. If Tesla had ever explicitly claimed a “self-driver” or “driverless” system, that would indeed be a serious issue — but that’s a different claim.

Honestly, the slowest actor here was the regulator. If the name “Full Self-Driving” was unacceptable, they could have stopped it years ago. “Autopilot” is already a technical aviation term — planes don’t fly themselves while the pilot sleep

The theory is sound, but the practical bridge is missing. There’s a gap that current LLM architectures simply can’t cross yet.
