Yup, they broke him. Shouldn't have tested him to destruction at the end of last season, guys.

When you get right down to it, the lack of teleport booths is the problem. People see time spent in transit between A and B as time wasted, so the natural instict is to try to shorten it at any cost. As usual, this is modified by the tendency for humans to have really poor risk-assessment abilities.
Dispersing pieces of people doesn't count.
I admit, my information on what teens use for barter is even more out-of-date than yours (by about a decade, based on when MySpace was popular).
I'm not sure whether the readership for this article is primarily British ("crisps") or primarily North American ("chips"), so I compromised. 🤷
Depends on what you mean by "kids". Elementary schoolers, no, but some teens are willing to do a surprising amount of work to accomplish something if it's important enough to them. And then they pass their method along to their friends, or offer to set up anyone in the school for the price of a couple of bags of snack food.
Approaching levels not seen since the War of 1812, even.
If the manufacturers had, y'know, provided the information needed for drivers without requiring ginormous amounts of money to be paid in, the support would be there by now. Without it, there's an inevitable reverse engineering catch-up period.
Plus, the article was evaluating Debian, which tends to be conservative when updating packages. I'd expect support to become available in other distros first. Hmmm . . . Here we go. Someone's got Gentoo running on one, with a note saying "sound, bluetooth and camera still need work (on 6.12.4 kernel)" (Gentoo ARM hardware list, under "Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 (Snapdragon)"). So the situation is not even nearly as bad as the Phoronix article suggests—it boots, but some drivers for the peripherals aren't quite there yet.
It isn't quite as crazy as it sounds when you consider that a lot of inscription texts are pretty formulaic—epitaphs, dedications, and such. Plus, we have plenty of surviving writings in classical Latin, so we know the grammar pretty well. Given those things, I'd expect an AI trained on the corpus of inscription texts that have survived without significant damage to be able to make reasonable suggestions about formulaic texts.
Really, when you think about it, a trained human presented with a damaged inscription text won't be doing anything much different from what an LLM would do: they'll try to fill in the text with the most likely words based on any remaining traces of letters, and their knowledge of other, similar texts. The problem is getting the LLM to communicate its level of certainty about the fill-ins it's offering.
Abusive spouses say this kind of thing all the time.
How is it propaganda when it is clearly foreign exploitation?
Propaganda doesn't have to be false, just slanted. Cherry-picking facts that support your chosen narrative can still be propaganda.
Whichever LLM whose owner hasn't offended Trump this month.
