Was disappointed that I didn't see any immigrant take over of Paris or dordogne valley or loire Valley in France. Thought there would be "those people" everywhere but nope. Money back if u ask me.

Aside from destruction of the planet and copyright theft, the third most annoying thing for me about LLM's is that they've poisoned the well for genuine discussion on genuinely useful machine intelligence, machine learning, non-LLM AI, etc.

The important thing to remember is that everything in the world is made for the consumption of Americans, and everyone who makes anything should ask themselves “what would an American think of this”

Rishi Sunak said - loudly - that multiculturalism works. Keir Starmer called immigration in the 2020s a “squalid experiment”. It is a night and day difference.
