We were talking about heirloom vegetables and wondered if there are heirloom animals, like heirloom pigs? We decided that was our new band. But we're not musical. So it's our account name instead. It's a team effort. We are less than the sum of our parts.

Oops. That's called peer review. Never mind.

Let’s have a different LLM analyze OpenAI’s "thinking" and go through each step of its proof and look for flaws. Actually, I assume that’s already being done. If I thought of it then lots of other people must have thought of it a long time ago.

I am in way over my head. Is OpenAI correct?

🤔I had to think about it for a few minutes, but I believe you are correct. And I think a lot of people in the administration really are surprised, which tells you how many times they have been subjected to coercive government force. Which is zero. They have only ever benefited from abuses of power.

First I agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene regarding her Trump criticisms, and now I find myself agreeing with Tucker. Interesting times.

That's not cynical. I think that's exactly what's going on. The ambiguity is completely intentional. It's clever. Monstrous, but clever.

Many people have trouble dealing with facts that, on their own, could lead to contradictory conclusions. LLMs sometimes hallucinate, so they are worthless. LLMs sometimes do useful things, so they are good. This medication has these benefits. Some people get this negative side effect. WHICH IS IT!?

What most Americans know about EVs is propaganda from the fossil fuel industry mortified at the prospect of loss of their leading source of sales. Now that millions of electric vehicles have been on the road for a decade or more, we have the data to check in on how their batteries are holding up.

Reminder: Trump was president during the election he says was rigged, and when Dems were in charge he won — which means either they really suck at rigging elections or he is full of shit. (Hint: it’s the latter)

Agreed. I don't know how he does it, but as far as I can see he's the greatest, or most effective, demagogue since Hitler. There's a lot of literature on how this kind of thing, really a cult, develops. One core part is that the message is *simple*.
