Hmm? No. I'm a mathematician. Instead of ad hominem attacks maybe try to address the actual points?

That LLM AIs are bad at abstract reasoning of this sort is not a new thing. People have seen that very early on with these systems, such as their inability to prove theorems. If someone thought that an LLM would be good at chess by itself in this situation they haven't been paying attention.

Yup. And he wants to arrest and prosecute the (actually very few) people who caused (are causing) trouble in LA, so the lesson here is: Wear MAGA stuff and limit your looting, rioting, and property destruction to The Capital building, in DC, then sit back and wait for the pardon ...

ChatGPT is not a chess engine. Comparing it to an actual chess system is missing the point. The thing that's impressive about systems like ChatGPT is not that they are better than specialized programs, or that it is better than expert humans, but that it is often much better at many tasks than a random human. I'm reasonably confident that if you asked a random person off the street to play chess this way, they'd likely have a similar performance. And it shouldn't be that surprising, since the actual set of text-based training data that corresponds to a lot of legal chess games is going to be a small fraction of the training data, and since nearly identical chess positions can have radically different outcomes, this is precisely the sort of thing that an LLM is bad at (they are really bad at abstract math for similar reasons). This also has a clickbait element given that substantially better LLM AIs than ChatGPT are now out there, including GPT 4o and Claude. Overall, this comes across as people just moving the goalposts while not recognizing how these systems keep getting better and better.

Give me ECoin or GO TO HELL!

Indeed, someone has to man/maintain those lasers MTG rants about. :-)

First there were human parts in pigs, then bear parts, then... Al Gore's nightmare ...

I don't like tech doing thing I didn't ask it to do, so I hope this can be disabled -- not that I'll be using Gemini, if I still have that choice. Also, I don't generally use Google docs, so perhaps this is moot, for now, until Google pushes this out to other areas.

Of course, what will depend on the owner's parent's demographics.
Some places it could just be saying something like, "I deserve equal pay." /s

To be fair, I would have settled for "Don't be a dick." -- which is what this is.

I like my Pixel 5a hopefully I'll still be able to switch to an already existing custom ROM with it at some point.

Perhaps they should have been using something like Framemaker for stuff like that. Admittedly, I only used it *way* back, before it was bought by Adobe.

Yes. As part of my migration from Windows 10 to using my Mint 22 (Cinnamon) system full-time, I've switched all my Word/Excel files over from Office 2010, and a few older files in Lotus WordPro/123 (which run fine on Windows 10, btw) like my budget, to LibreOffice and it does everything I need. The only hold-up here is Publisher, which I use for making greeting cards; I haven't quite nailed down the equivalent workflow in LO. Maybe I need something like Scribus instead? The only other thing is a Linux alternate for AxCrypt v1.7, though some data can be entered into KeePassXC instead...

I almost wonder if that's actually a dude who was on the flight or someone taking advantage of an opportunity to get in the news.

Seems so unlikely.

Agreed, and I imagine that mathematician who Calculated The Size of a Giant Meatball Made of Every Human would have tough time there ... :-)

CPB and the government have been collected data directly from the airlines ever since the aftermath of 9/11 through a number of programs, for example to check passengers against watch lists and to verify the identity of travelers on international flights.

What has changed is that by buying data from a commerical broker instead of a a congressionally instituted program, it bypasses judicial review and limits set by Congress on data collected through those programs -- for example it can track passengers on domestic flights even if they're not on a watch list.
