    I would go one step further with "Name and describe a few candidates that conform to this recommendation" and watch it enthusiastically hallucinate candidates. I believe it'll get …

    Does that mean you don't even review it to see if it at least matches your expectations?

    Exactly. I think of a Meta-like hole that you shout into, and no response comes back. Even for insurance claims. It's inherent to the technology. Google and every other big corp is…

    I have a theory that Trump not only boycotted the dinners for a few years because he's so fragile about things said about him, but mainly because he is self conscious about this: H…

    No. But if I had to, then I want to go a bit further back to pre-commercial constant tracking. As long as I get to take a modern LCD monitor with me.

    Funny thing is, if you ask ChatGPT this very question, it'll give you a lot of examples.

    Why do you call a news aggregator an OS? Just wondering. It seems like an odd thing to call an OS.

    Confirmation bias. Simply repeating does the trick. The interesting part isn't that this error comes up. It's that it very often decides "weird" means "pornographic" and starts to …

    Donald Trump is one who also believes this. Apparently he believes you only have so many heartbeats, and so you should avoid increasing your pulse.

    That's interesting. I got an error, "We’re so sorry, but the image we created may violate our guardrails around nudity, sexuality, or erotic content. If you think we got it wrong, …

    Trump's agreement: Promise not to use how USA accidentally taught you to (successfully) fight back.

    I got this same response for a couple different searches today. Maybe it's a model update. It is clearly trying to answer like a chat bot right off the start. A better result would…

    I wonder if the scammers have been doing this already. Remember when you could buy naming rights to a star, or acreage on the moon? Elon selling lots on Mars might not feel far fet…

    Only if you think AI is going to be analyzing and approving the papers for publish. I suppose AI will eventually stop bullshitting (some people call it hallucinating, but really, t…

    I use Phone Link so I can conduct text messaging from my laptop. Any time I'm away from home and have to use the screen, even with Swype, I'm reminded of how much better the keyboa…

    I remember when people talking on their cell phones through ear buds "looked crazy." Now a room full of those same people whispering is gonna be less obnoxious, but feel like you w…

    I'm surprised there are zero reports from Canada.

    Interesting. I would make the results colour coded to remind the user what they chose. Especially since the nature of some questions is such that a user's opinion could ebb and flo…

    I absolutely love going to the beach. White noise masks the tinnitus so well I can't even hear it when I self-test. It's the only time I truly get a break from the sizzling and squ…

    Yes, it totally can. I have severe tinnitus. First, I had a minor variant for many years. But what I didn't realize is that I was slowly losing my hearing in one side. Then I had s…

    I was remarking a few days ago that I remember just a small number of years ago when I would use an app on my cell phone and with some luck, catch a glimpse of a passing satellite …

    This reminds me of reports many years ago about playing (classical) music for plants to spur them on a little. This makes me wonder if they sense the movement of the music and conf…
