That's part of the learning curve with LLM's today, you have to practice strategies for each model to get reliable results on test cases where you know the answers you want, then apply thay same strategy to real use cases.

I also don't like sensationalized claims, but for many 'chemicals' being found in our food we do know the dosages in our foods cause problems.

Beyond that there was such a steep decline in the nutritional content of US crops that the USDA stopped publishing their nutritional analysis about a decade ago, something they'd been sharing since at least the 50s.

I'm not for generally one for regulations, but since there are regulations preventing me from farming myself, and our land and water is vulnerable to the decisions of others, a food should be defined as containing X nutrition and not containing Y contaminants, and Y contaminants should be tightly controlled from all sources.

Bitcoin had never offered anonymity. Only dumb people and con artists have proposed that. It's only ever been claimed to be as anonymous as posting on Slashdot COULD be. If you used a burner email for registration, used proper opsec for your internet connection and use hardware that is no connected to you, and never post any information anywhere that could link your ID to your Slashdot account.

BTC is bad enough all by itself, we don't have to resort to strawmanning it based on the activity of dumb people.

Didn't the plug and play demo with Bill Gates cause a BSOD for Windows 98 from a USB scanner?

Peter Thiel's take is pretty much denial and projection that he himself is creating the very thing that he thinks is christ. It's bizarre he's trying to start this movement even though most Christians think the exact opposite of what he does on the matter. Luddites won't be the antichrist, it's going to be christians who have long been trained to expect and reject the mark of, and worship of, the "beast".

I think it's more likely to subjugate the anti theists into a cult/religion first that they will claim is based on science and exists in reality, and major denominations of religions ln Christianity will increasingly become a radical resistance movement to reject it as the beast/antichrist

Anonymity is disappearing, and it would appear MS is gearing up for this.

From what it looks like, given the recent push of monetizing AI bot scraping, when user traffic looks like bot traffic, they can charge for all traffic to "level the playing field", so users can pull out their wallets, solve captchas, etc. and continuously authenticate.

These will be the last to be fully automated due to safety and maneuverability. Even if you automate the highway portion, the last mile delivery and docking still needs human assistance.

Semis aren't going to be automated anytime soon, it's time that cab drivers go back to school and get a CDL.

A chat bot is not a human. It has no agency.

It IS different. A chatbot has no personhood or agency. It's a computer program, not expressions to a human being.

I agree.
