They live in their own world where this makes sense to them. They honestly believe their success is proof of their intellectual superiority rather than a combination of taxpayer support and dumb luck.

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces The premier's policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from

Qatar is who has been funding Hamas through Netanyahu all this time. Absolutely nothing about this is as it seems.

When St. Reagan (hallowed be his name) fired air traffic controllers and replaced them with scabs, he paid the scabs.

I'm not sure I agree. Yes, much of the training data is written by people who are certain, because they're knowledgeable about the topic. But LLMs will sound certain about guesses, such as when they're asked for current data and they rely on old data. Or when they hallucinate.

And it shouldn't be that way. LLMs are designed to sound certain even when they're not. That's the problem with them - they don't *understand* what they're saying, they just match patterns of speech.

I'd be fine with "the data I have access to suggests..." and a link to more info instead of "it's this."

The problem with these LLMs is the developers prioritized making them believable before making them correct.

But Wikipedia usage hasn't fallen at all. ⬇️

There are many reasons to not like AI chatbots, but I don't think they're keeping people from reading Wikipedia.

Continuing Epstein Investigation, Wyden Probes Major JPMorgan Chase Compliance Failures | The United States Senate Committee on Finance Continuing Epstein Investigation, Wyden Probes Major JPMorgan Chase Compliance Failures

It's not just about the CSA. Epstein and his clients made a killing off of the 2008 financial crisis, and very powerful people, some of whom weren't even involved with the underage sex trafficking, really don't want anyone taking a close look at his finances.

Maybe it's for the best. I don't see how they could pull this off without more uses of the N-word than a Quentin Tarantino movie, which would be endlessly quoted on social media by a bunch of edgelords who can't even understand who the good guys are in the game.

RFK Jr is trained as a lawyer, not a scientist. He is used to being paid to take a position and find evidence to back up that position and discount contrary evidence. The "truth" is whatever he can make a jury believe.

Does farting lessen your biotics so you need to take more biotics to replace the biotics you just farted out?

I foresee Tesla adding a good chunk of TrumpCoin to its crypto holdings in the near future.

Elmo doesn't understand that the quarter billion he dropped on getting Trump elected was just a down payment.

No one wants these stupid age verification laws. Kids can't buy their own devices. It's on parents to not give kids free access to everything on the Internet. Parental controls are a thing. Not giving your 12-year-old a smartphone is also a thing.

I'm convinced that while attending school in Southern California, Stephen Miller was outdone by brown guys in sports, academics, and above all, dating - and this is his revenge.

Or you could say "people who were wealthy enough to ignore what was happening instead chose to do something, putting their own lives and safety at risk, being fully aware of the possibility of what has happened to them."
