Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Something I will never understand about people is, when they're on a bus or train in a 2-seat arrangement, insist on sitting in the aisle and making other people clamber all over them to get into the window seat instead of... y'know... just moving over one seat?!

If you un-ironically say "the future of linear content consumption", people are allowed to punch you in the face. I don't make the rules, I'd just like more people to actually follow them.

Early impressions of getting around in South Korea - the public transport is VERY good (especially buses). But they seem to like big long cars way more than Japan does, even in the city, for some reason.

Ended up listening to a solid 50 minutes of AI-generated fake Hawaiian reggae that the taxi driver had playing on his tablet. 🙉 "Music" that was written by nobody, for nobody, with no sense or structure... absolute drivel, the auditory equivalent of biting into a piece of wax display fruit

I just saw a good example of what I was talking about with chatgpt being a crackpot generating machine. A guy had started Wheeler's Spacetime Physics, and had a problem on page 2. Wheeler expressed a square root as a power of 1/2. √a = a^1/2. This is basic algebra, not physics.

So weird to me that Japan (in general, a scrupulously clean and neat country) still allows smoking indoors in many restaurants and bars.

I need you to understand It wasn't "We trained a machine to be Darth Vader, and then it started saying homophobic slurs." It was "We found a machine that says homophobic slurs, and prompted it to act like Darth Vader."
