AI’s Hallucination Problem Isn’t Going Away Some advanced AI models, called “reasoning” models, have produced higher rates of falsehoods, known as “hallucinations.”

It very much does not. LLM's are statistical word association machines, they don't even have a concept of truth - just how often words are used together, and in what kinds of patterns. www.forbes.com/sites/conorm...

Also you should stop using AI for information, it lies to you.

I did not say he caused the crash. I said he bailed out and protected the people who did, letting down millions of Americans who had their lives ruined by those gambling bankers.

He absolutely did send killer agents into American cities and to crush dissent. Repeatedly! Remember Standing Rock?

He was the guy who gave trillions to the banks that caused the financial disaster, and protected the perpetrators from justice

Not only are you wrong, but your belief is literally the opposite of the truth, lol

Perhaps people who lost their homes in the 2008 craah, as he gave trillions to bail out banks and helped keep all their leaders out of trouble.

"despite his declared intention to establish COVID vaccines as global public goods, Bill Gates and his foundation supplanted the WHO’s knowledge-sharing initiative, lobbied the US government against intellectual property (IP) waivers and voiced his opposition to sharing vaccine formulas"

The Gates foundation is a major donor to the BBC

Most of the money going to his foundation goes into media spend to launder his reputation. Most of the rest goes into doing this like making sure the IP for vaccines stays in the hands of companies he has huge stakes in. Gates foundation is not philanthropic, it's to help Bill Gates.

i got into an argument with this person and it was like staring into the abyss. Genuinely believing liberal democracy is responsive to its citizenry, in 2026

Accusing Epstein of being a Mossad asset has nothing to do with antisemitism, it has to do with all of the evidence that he was regularly communicating directly with Mossad agents.

have you looked at europe in the 30s and 40s, or in recent decades? Liberal democracy very consistently develops into fascism because it allows the accumulation of capital, which subverts the political system, which turns the state into a tool of wealth extraction and domination (fascism)

weird how it consistently leads towards the consolidation of the capitalist class and the the birth of fascism, seems like a pretty big flaw to me, as if it doesn't actually respond to the desires of the people

those are all things that happen outside of the political system, protests and activism are not features of liberal democracy, they are citizens *responding to failures of the political system*.

except liberal democracy isn't receptive to public sentiment, we have over 100 years of evidence that make that extremely clear.

also millions of americans do not have clean drinking water

She was one of the most vocal supporters of the senile, genocidal rapist Joe Biden, at the height of his war crimes.

That's an instantly disqualifying action, sorry.

She, along with Bernie Sanders, were the "progressive" wing of defense for the senile genocider Joe Biden, at the height of his war crimes.

the lack of class consciousness even among the so-called left is really disheartening. All the more reason to ditch that whole term, since apparently every liberal thinks they're on the left somehow

had an interaction just hours ago with a friend who is vaguely on the left, who was flirting with antisemitism while despairing about israel, epstein etc. I did my very best to peel him off that track and towards class analysis, but whoof it was uncomfortable. Unfortunately a very real phenomenon

Chinese GF has informed me this is called "scrubbing the wok" (hence why there's foamy water in the middle) and you can see a million more of these videos if you search 越野刷鍋 (off-road hot pot).

It's such a tragedy that so much of scifi is crypto-fascist. It's such a fascinating medium to explore the relationship between technology and humanity and it's just used to explain how we should dominate the Other most of the time.

At least in english, maybe other languages have better scifi
