I never think of things in Star Wars terms so a bunch of this site’s discourse is beyond me but this is exactly like Kylo Ren trying desperately to be Darth Vader.

Maybe we should convert the machines to Mormonism?

it’s cool that there’s probably some business somewhere that will go bankrupt because the computer spent it all on Draft Kings

ABSTRACT
This study explores whether large language models can exhibit behavioral patterns
similar to human gambling addictions. As LLMs are increasingly utilized in finan-
cial decision-making domains such as asset management and commodity trading,
understanding their potential for pathological decision-making has gained practi-
cal significance. We systematically analyze LLM decision-making at cognitive-
behavioral and neural levels based on human gambling addiction research. In slot
machine experiments, we identified cognitive features of human gambling addic-
tion, such as illusion of control, gambler’s fallacy, and loss chasing. When given
the freedom to determine their own target amounts and betting sizes, bankruptcy
rates rose substantially alongside increased irrational behavior, demonstrating that
greater autonomy amplifies risk-taking tendencies. Through neural circuit analy-
sis using a Sparse Autoencoder, we confirmed that model behavior is controlled by
abstract decision-making features related to risky and safe behaviors, not merely
by prompts. These findings suggest LLMs can internalize human-like cognitive
biases and decision-making mechanisms beyond simply mimicking training data
patterns, emphasizing the importance of AI safety design in financial applications

No “clean CR” exists when Trump defies Congress and unilaterally guts programs—from law enforcement to pediatric cancer research to clean energy projects.

Republicans want Democratic cover to keep breaking the law. Democrats won’t play along.

The real War on Christianity.

A group of hundreds of faith in coalition who started at a Maywood church just arrived at the detention center for a eucharistic procession.

They want to offer communion to detainees inside, but won't be able to get past the barricades and fence on Beach Street.
