They didn’t really have to before LLM.

No shit. Maybe they should just get rid of the extra bullshit generator and serve the sources instead of piling more LLM on the problem that only exists because of it.

Exactly, and all of this is a simple matter of having multiple models trained on different instances of the entire public internet and determining whether their outputs contradict each other or a web search.

I wonder how they prevented search engine results from contradicting data found through web search before LLMs became a thing?

Of course Larry fucking Ellison has to be involved. I'd rather have governments take advice from ChatGPT than him.

40 nanometers is a terrible range!

Yea, there's a lot of work from which it's quite worthwhile to free humanity. It's just that an AI company having that as its tagline and full contents of its social media bio reads with a very particular anime villain cadence. Makes me think of Seymour Guado in Final Fantasy X vowing to "free the world of its sorrow".,

Hey, that's the epic battle fantasy guy. I loved his games back in the flash days.

Scientology would seem like the obvious one, then.

If either of the parties involved were just about any other science fiction author, it would be the among the least damning things I've heard of the other one, but it just had to be these two.

Delightfully non-ominous bio on @getlindy@x.com

Free humanity from work.

Neat, a double strange loop of a bad take!

Poster considers "Listen more to more Black people – and amplify their voices" a suspect point, and failing to listen further, misinterprets the advice and makes a non sequitur counterpoint.

Poster implies qualms with point "Post less – and think before you post" as well, and accordingly posts without thinking much at all.

That's some self-consistent jackassery right there.

Hell, so is 1/x for positive values of x. Or any linear function, including those with negative slope.
