You can pretty much guess what these guys are guilty of from what they accuse others of.

I have no sympathy for you; I'm the same age as the Pope.

Well, that's what the Government is proposing. The electricity retailers don't think it's such a great idea, so we'll see.

What benefit does the Government get from this? It allows them to keep the failure of policy at arms length.

So there is no way that LLMs can get smarter than they are today, because the 'smart' was never in them in the first place.

Another way to think about AI: LLMs didn't invent anything, they just uncovered a structure that was already there, in human language. When you ask an AI a question, it's not really the AI that answers, it's *the language itself*.

Fun fact: they're called 'cookies' because (apparently) American parents tell their children not to take cookies from strangers.
