I mean, chatGPT with its knowledge cutoff and no internet connection figured it out. See my comment below, I asked it and posted its response.

The guys who run that news website just didn’t include any checks in their algorithm. It doesn’t seem like an LLM problem at this point. A properly set up AutoGPT with an ability to look stuff up online would have no problem sorting though and fact-checking posts to decide which ones to use for an article.

I was curious how current LLMs might handle this with proper instructions, so I asked chatGPT this: “What can you tell me about this Reddit post? Would you write a news article about this? Analyze the trustworthiness of this information:” and pasted the text from the post. Here’s a part of its reply:

This Reddit post appears to be discussing updates in the context of […] Hearthstone and World of Warcraft. However, there are several factual inaccuracies which raises questions about the trustworthiness of the post:

1. Hearthstone was first released in 2014, not 1994. This error may be a typo or a misunderstanding by the user.

1. Glorbo does not appear to be a known character in either the Hearthstone or World of Warcraft universe […]

1. Chen Stormstout is a known character from the Warcraft universe, but the claim about him being the end boss of a new version of Karazhan doesn't match with any known information […]

1. Dragonflight is not known as a video game developer or associated term in the context of Hearthstone or World of Warcraft […]

Given these points, it seems this post might be either a joke, speculation, or misinformation. […] So I'd recommend taking this information with a grain of caution and verify it from reliable sources.

[…] I would caution against using the information in this post for a news article due to the factual inaccuracies and lack of verifiable sources. Good journalism relies on accuracy, fact-checking, and use of reliable sources. This Reddit post contains several claims that contradict established knowledge, and without further verification from reliable, official sources (like game developers or official news releases), it would not be advisable to use this information in a news article.

So it’s not even an issue with current models, just bad setup. An autoGPT with several fact-checking questions added in can easily filter this stuff.

Thanks :)

That’s a weird argument, since cycling is the most efficient mode of transport. Even ignoring all the health improvements/lower emissions/etc., it still easily outpaces everything else in terms of environmental benefits due to its efficiency. It’s just not a good way to heat your home.

Sustained human pedal-powered energy output is about 500W for world-class cyclists and around 100–200W for average people. Your body also produces ~100W of heat energy by simply existing, and that can rise to about 500W when exercising.

So the output range we’re looking at here is something like 300–1000Wh per hour depending on your fitness level and exercise intensity. 1 kWh costs ~10–30 cents around the world, I think.

You’re gonna spend much more on extra food to fuel your pedalling than you’ll ever be able to save on heating bills :)

If Polish troops enter, for example, Lviv or other Ukrainian territories, they will stay there. And they will stay there forever.

Holy mother of projection.

That escalated it a lot, but the protests and strikes started way earlier with a pension reform that kinda robbed the people of 2 work-free years. And it wasn't even that applicable to most of the population, instead it unfairly targeted those who held some of the most physically demanding or damaging jobs. Macron doubled down, and then that traffic stop killing... so yeah, it's really not surprising that it escalated from there.

What didn’t help is that police has a long history of violence in general, see this article from 2016, for example. It’s been like this for a while.

I’ve spent some time just walking around looking at what’s happening during the protests in a large French city, and those didn’t really feel violent or overly destructive, more like a show of strength and trying to make the overwhelming public stance heard.

The only establishments that I saw had their windows broken were either large international chain stores or some municipal buildings, small cafes or various boulangeries were intact. There were burning trashcans and other stuff, but never too close to a building or something that might catch fire, everything was moved towards the center of the streets. It worked to disrupt car traffic and give the city a protest vibe, but it didn’t feel like the reason was pure destruction. You could’ve even come up to both masked protesters and cops and just have a chat in most cases. I think it was more violent in Paris, but I’d guess a lot of it had similar vibes still.

The thing is, it’s not like it started with this, there were peaceful protests and strikes at first. But when you ignore your population long enough, they see that peaceful means aren’t working and escalate. It could’ve been prevented if there was a reasonable governmental response.

Eh. You can probably solve it with a good enough artificial narrow intelligence. Or/and dedicated infrastructure, inter-car communication protocols, etc. The issue is it's solving the wrong problem altogether.

J'ai déjà commenté/posté ici, mais merci :)

Right? I had a subscription for Apollo and am now supporting kbin on Patreon (btw, guys, here’s the link if someone wants to help out).

It wasn’t that hard to offer a product that people would be fine paying for.

Je pense qu’ils devraient de toute façon changer de domaines, non ? Juste pour être tranquilles. Alors c'est pas mal comme moment pour partager au moins ça.
