Like the US, right? That’s what you mean, right?

It ought to be illegal to use a headline in that format.

Wow, the comments. Bunch of racist assholes. “They ran, they must be illegals.” No, they ran because some masked and armed men came after people illegally without consequence.

Overall not that surprising. Some interesting differences between states, but regionally it’s what I expected.

The old trick to get the right answer on the internet. You don’t post the question, you post the wrong answer very confidently. Someone will correct you.

We always have something that is blamed for causing problems. Teaching evolution in schools. Dancing. Rock music. Shooting games.

Agreed, it was theirs to lose, as it often is. It’s a known fact that if more people vote it tends to swing left, so I’m not sure why they always seem to try and cater to the right side voters who are going to be much harder to convince. I mean I know part of it is most of the Democratic party is actually centralist, but still… go after the easier win that might actually help your case? And maybe move that way politically to ensure power?

I’d rather she stay in Congress a while, either side, and gain a leadership role. Lot more power there.

Or maybe whose vote didn’t get counted. I think the jury is still out on that right now.

Unlimited. Nothing about quality.

That’s a different bucket, we clearly can’t have the commons put their dirty hands in there.

They say they have DATA showing fraud, so they absolutely could find any of the problems, and certainly there have already been procedures in place to do that. This is just an opportunity to make up a new issue and use it for cruelty. A good society takes care of its people, it doesn’t make them crawl through hoop after hoop to survive.

Impeachment (or two) isn’t enough, as the current President shows. Impeachment without consequence is just something to note in the footnotes of a history book. Hell, Clinton didn’t get real consequences either, but let’s compare the impeachment findings of both Presidents as well as motives to pursue them together and compare.

If they’re asking for them, they don’t know what they are. Therefore they don’t exist.

If they require you to make one to fill it out, then there are other jobs out there.

selectivity based on probability and not weighing on evidence

I don’t follow this, but an LLM’s whole “world” is basically the prompt it’s fed. It can “weigh” that, but then how does one choose what’s in the prompt?

Some describe or use the analogy of an autocompleter with a very big database. LLMs are more complex than just that, but that’s the idea, and when the model looks at the prompt and context of the conversation, it’s choosing the best match of words to fulfill that prompt. My point was that the best word or phrase completion doesn’t mean it’s the best answer, or even right. It’s just seen as the most probabilistic in the huge training data. If that data is crap, the answers are crap. Having Wikipedia as a source and presumably the only source is better than many places on the internet to pull from, but that doesn’t guarantee the answers that pop up will be always correct or the best in a choice of answers. It’s just the most likely based on the data.

It would be different if it was AGI because by definition it would be able to find the best data based on the data itself, not text probability, and could look at anything connected including discussion behind the article and make a judgement on how solid the information is for the prompt in question. We don’t have that yet. Maybe we will, maybe we won’t for any number of reasons.

Yeah, that’s terrible. We’re already at Minority Reports levels, only still without a great AR device, only the phone itself.

It speaks a lot of today’s world when so many replies were about some type of debt or replacement of assets. My gut feeling is if the rules don’t require a tangible purchase (aka Brewster’s Million) putting the bulk into something that will grow the base amount is the best option. But it depends on any debt and its interest rate, as removing that expense is usually the best move as their rate is going to be far greater than any interest you can gain.

I think 2 were bought out in a merger recently.

An LLM with a cultivating source is a lot better than what the other major ones are, but it still has the issue of selectivity based on probability and not weighing on evidence (unless it does that, which would be huge). Because people are naturally gullible and believe the first thing they read, especially if it’s presented as if “someone” has validated it for them.

But the good part is that both DDG and Firefox made it both obvious and easy to disable the AI.

One more step closer to the old Twilight Zone episodes where the machines come alive.
