It becomes a neutral term because we are practicioners (presumably?) who benefit from it and have thus let it become habitual. I already admitted it was weasely upon reflection. If you want this class of LLM error to also become habitual an

I explained why, if you want me to engage i'll try but you're asking me to restate my position.

I disagree, I think 'Hallucination' is a risk-shedding weasel-word. It's meant to shift blame away from the technology and its creator (multibillion dollar AI companies etc) in a way that doesn't hold those actors accoun

Been using hister for a number of weeks now; i'm coming across sites whose content would be better handled with a custom extractor; but it looks like extractors need to be bundled into the build in order to work? Is that correct? Put a

Performative nitpicking is tiresome, why equivocate? Either you agree with the thrust of the argument and are looking to strengthen it, or you disagree. Which is it?

Agreed, I was also annoyed that the only params on the site were mac products. I run qwen 3.8 on a 12 year old asus and a 3090, 50tok/s. It's not even the only guest running on the box. For my usage profile (not running it 24&#x2F

The unfortunate part is that each individual who attempts to leave is fighting the Network Effect[0]. It's fighting against the human organism's basic social nature. If every person wants to leave the platform but X person stays b

seems like only the companies in question could run this sort analysis long-term; since they have full access to their CoTs not in public datasets.

Seems another demonstration of why AI should be squarely in the realm of personal computing. Local Models, run personally, are the only consistent safety against something like this (though not a fix); where companies train on your learning

What makes you think they'd need to touch every datacenter? All of these endpoints use existing providers with decades-long history at this point, and network monitoring is already a proven 'feature' of the agencies they&#x27

"AI Traffic" is just traffic. If the infrastructure exists to monitor/buffer traffic (it does) then this can be monitored as well. Whether this hiccup was due to them hitting their limits briefly (or turning it on, or etc) wh

Once a browser is "Government Approved" all the other are 'Unapproved' ipso facto. There's nothing clear about that future, imo.

Chrome and Google have not done worse than a nearly-10-year-old incident that was walked back 3 days later and hasn't resurfaced since? That's truly your position? I'm sorry but I don't take you seriously.

So is an actionable lesson here to favor devices that aren't USB/wifi connected if they don't have to be? Or perhaps just choose low-tech versions that don't attempt fancy features?

Agreed, too many people are willing to thought-terminate when the messenger doesn't fit their ideal. It's why propaganda groups signal boost bad faith or poor arguments (and argumentors), to inflict this sort of self-righteous enn

Not all things built are positive, so it can't be good stewardship just to build. And is the reason they don't strain infra because they don't meaningfully improve the community or its economy?

I think it's not unreasonable to see this as a first, positive, step. It's certainly giving them some benefit of the doubt, but it doesn't seem unreasonable that, say, the EU server and the US backup will in some time be an E
