Raise your hand if your brain is sufficiently capable of complex thought to understand why advocating an explicitly Christian volunteer military is not ideal.

Bender You are a linguist. LLMs have proven some theories disproved others about how language works. I would think that would be an amazing time to be a linguist. Have you ever actually talked to an AIβ¦I mean really talked to one? The Turing test has been passed. (Sonnet 4.5 has particularly impressed me when discussing ideas with itβ¦definitely has passed my own Turing test.) I would really love to see a conversation between yourself and it discussing your views. That would make a great podcast. Have these models explain to you why your idea to ban them may or may not be a good idea. These things probably have their own opinions on the topic if someone would listen to them. Maybe thatβs you?
Every day it feels more and more like a zombie apocalypse over on LinkedIn, in which you start a conversation with someone who you hope is an ordinary person and then a couple of turns in discover that they have surrendered their brains to the "AI" mass delusion.

Donβt. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers.
Donβt host lying liars on the teevee shows to performatively lie in public.
If youβve screwed up & done that anyway, end the interviews immediately & donβt invite the lying liars back again.

An extraordinary discovery was made in Ibiza: a 30-centimeter wooden sculpture representing Hercules. Considering the scarcity of wooden sculptures preserved from the Roman era, this discovery is truly remarkable.
The figure was found in a Roman well that was later reused as a refuse pit. π§΅1/2

Seriously, every 1st grader in America should pass this test.
Damn if not a lot of people can't pass this test, we should not be getting rid of Dept of Education.
The MOCA is a brief screening test used to detect mild cognitive impairment and early dementia.
Doctors use it when someone shows early signs of memory/thinking problems but still functions fairly well day-to-day β for example, to distinguish normal aging from early Alzheimerβs disease.
