Reposted by Rick EdwardsKatie Mack @astrokatie.com · 19/06/2025Chatbots — 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. 6263661411259

Rick Edwards @rickedwards1.bsky.social · 23/04/2025It is quite surprising that there is a sequel to Escape Plan (Stallone/Arnie prison break vehicle). But not just that - there is an ESCAPE PLAN 3.

Rick Edwards @rickedwards1.bsky.social · 19/01/2025I realise it's subjective, but this week's Fighting Talk is FUNNY. Features Dean Ashton admitting to some naughty fancy dress, a truly awful joke from Henning Wehn, and Holly Hamilton and Gail Emms (odd mood) discussing their cox options.
