Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Again, I'd implore my colleagues in the media to stop using euphemisms around "diversity" and "anti -DEI".
And start saying that this these efforts are racial and gender purgings. That these efforts are segregationist.

I'm finally back to Kelenföld, exactly one week after I went to urgent care with severe abdominal pain that turned out to be internal bleeding. I'm terribly anxious about the hiking guide course (I'm behind on the material + field trips start soon), but I'm grateful to be alive 🌷

so the brutalist, a movie about the struggles of being an immigrant and an artist, using AI to manipulate the leads’ accents to make them more “authentically” hungarian AND to create architectural drawings and photos of the protagonist’s designs basically betrays every theme of the film. evil
