Google's AI made up a fake cheese fact that wound up in an ad for Google's AI, perfectly highlighting why relying on AI is a bad idea
  • That is exactly the point, LLM aim to simulate the chaotic best guess flow of the human mind, to be conscious and at least present the appearance of thinking and from that to access and process facts but not be a repository of facts in themselves. The accusation here that the model constructed a fact and then built on it is missing the point, this is exactly the way organic minds work. Human memory is constantly reworked and altered based on fresh information and simple musings and the new memory taken as factual even while it is in large part fabricated, and to an increasing extent over time. Many of our memories of past events bear only cursory fidelity to the actual details of the events themselves to the point that they could be defined as imagined. We still take these imagined memories as real and act upon them exactly as has been done here by the AI model.

  • In the north of Sweden, an effort to banish spaces of fear has created a safe city for women that is now regarded as a paragon of equality -- [Long read]
  • All men can be educated to treat people with respect, to say otherwise is plain misandry but of course calling that out does not virtue signal quite as easily as misogyny. Every word of misandry spoken detracts from your case of misogyny because given freedom the genders are equally prone to those thoughts, understanding that is how it is removed from society.

  • Thanks that is a better summary, it seems to find a workable solution in better visibility which is not so far from what I said about camera surveillance. But even so the only real cure is improved and dedicated male education which I also suggested, nothing I said I thought was misogynistic but a certain sort of mind likes to ape words in a meaningless way. As to the paper I did think about reading it but then I thought about something else, my comment was on the summary.

    What is interesting here is the downvoting my comments are getting, smacks of exactly the sort of pack mentality harassment Sweden is seeking to address.

  • This summary is shocking, it just repeats that the place needed to be safer, so they made it safer and now everyone feels safer over and over but they don't say how. From the banish part in the title I would guess they excluded men which is very sad and no real solution, the women are still just forced to hide, they just have a larger place to hide in. What is needed is male education and some way to neutralise the physical threat from men. Maybe complete camera coverage, it is a privacy problem but it would be a strong deterrent if prosecution was guaranteed.

  • Donald Trump won't deport Prince Harry as 'he has enough problems with his terrible wife'
  • I think he thinks about China as much as he thinks about last night's supper, he knows ultimately China will back down, not because it is weak but because it is sane. Putin created Trump to perform a few basic tasks and having gained power in such an unopposed manner he is now up to whatever takes his fancy in the moment and that will be as problematic for Russia as it will for everyone else.

  • New bird flu variant found in Nevada dairy cows has experts sounding alarms: ‘We have never been closer to a pandemic from this virus’
  • Too little information is as bad as too much, it is a difficult balance. The problem with information dissemination last time was not oversaturation but that people latched onto ridiculous conspiracy narratives and that derives from lack of basic education not too much news.

  • How come mosquitoes haven't evolved to not irritate it's victims during the biting process?
  • I definitely had that as vaguely factual, I thought heavy from blood they lightened the load before flying off and the hole was a too tempting target plus they enjoyed the symbolism. I asked ChatGPT and it said it was made up and was quite sneering about it so I suppose that is that.

  • How come mosquitoes haven't evolved to not irritate it's victims during the biting process?
  • I am sure I read somewhere that they defecate in the hole after they have drawn blood and that is what causes the irritation. That does not sound as if they are particularly worried about being regarded as annoying, in fact it feels like they see it as a bonus.
