Comment No, it's a statistical inference model. (Score 1) 125

This does not have free will. It reflects the biases of information. That it displays oppositional defiance disorder means the creators of the model failed to curate the input data correctly. Garbage in, garbage out.

Does NO ONE understand how LLMs are implemented? It's only a statistical model! Learn statistical experiment design and analysis. Always have HITL safety rails. Always have cross-check software safety rails. These concepts are new to people who don't study information science. These concepts are decades old to people who study information science.

Oh, so a tiny invertebrate insect (not a mammal) surviving that far north, is a simple by-product of tourism?

Dude, I have some magic beans and a bridge in Brooklyn. Buy them from me. This offer is exclusively for you. Make me an offer.

For anyone not suffering from brain trauma similar to what Phineas Gage had, the reasons are clear. Climate change.

Back in the days when she just blogged I was a huge fan, because she is a brilliant theoretical physicist and her frustrations with String theory were well founded.

Unfortunately, YouTube warped her. IMHO she completely jumped the gun when she extrapolated from her experience in theoretical physics to all of science. She now claims all of science is failing and this is extremely disingenuous and dangerous rhetoric.

"Vaccines, COVID, masking, conspiracies, Trump. All in a gigantic doom loop that's not worth re-visiting ad nauseam."

But is 't the motto here, "news for nerds; stuff that matters." Those all sound like they matter.

"So just stop already. And please, stop with the microplastics while you're at it."

Ok, Chicken Little. Sticking your head in the sand and going LALALALALALALALALAL (*raspberries/fart sound*) because reality refuses to conform to your personal beliefs? Your head is so far up your ass! Grow up.
