I was responding to specific examples to show how they’re not similar at all. The modern post Jan 6/BLM claim that rightwing violence is more prevalent is precisely the propaganda Mr Musk was referring to — and has been debunked many t

How is adding that some economists warn about negative outcomes being biased when your comment indicates that indeed, some economists do warn about negative outcomes (ie, “some…negative” is what “contested” means)?

Similarly, if you did a corpus study on bioRvix to summarize recent science findings — you could use the same questions and answers to fine tune a model. There is no way to communicate information at scale to companies through the API, for

I can see the transactions between (eg) my Coinbase and CashApp wallets — BTC actually moves. That’s why all those services can communicate, eg, PayPal and CashApp. Also, I didn’t say under 10 minutes, but (about) 10 minutes — ie, one block

Even in strict logic, “is” can denote membership, as in, “squares are rectangles” does not entail “rectangles are squares”.

“A is B” doesn’t generally entail “B is A”. “A square is a rectangle” does not entail “a rectangle is a square”. Similarly, “Socrates is alive” doesn’t entail “alive is Socrates”. Notably, they mention when context is included, LLM performa

You just refuse to see certain people’s hopes and fears because they didn’t express them in a way you personally find pleasing. The LLMs didn’t prompt themselves.

You can take the two variables to be outcomes of a binomial event: - at zero events: we have one outcome, nothing - at one event: we have two outcomes, 1X and 1Y - at two events, each of those two outcomes have two outcomes, but one X and o

Scalpers raise the price only to transfer who loses out — as per your example, where they receive a fee to manipulate which customer misses out (and do so contrary to the wishes of the original vendor). If you entire business is helping the

I’ve found it extremely hard to get LLMs to exit the basin of your current knowledge. One of my tests for new models is to ask about a concept I already know the mathematical model for, but as if I don’t. So far, they all answer the same wa
