The ability of LLM technologies to improve with more compute seems to flattening and there is no obvious solution to "hallucinations" (these machines have no model of the world, so are unable to fact-check) /2

Both the internet, and the world-wide-web (which was specifically the technology which created the dotcom bubble) - were transformative technologies built by public-funded scientists with specific problems to solve.

The US is built for automobiles.
The UK has a lot more roads built for horses, and cities built for people.
I doubt they'd be that useful here anyway.
Plus, London Black Cabbies would not be happy... don't mess with those guys.

I would also point out it's not just insults.
Over the years I have some fairly in-depth reasons and explanations about the fact that Trump is.
1. Demented (specifically fronto-temporal dementia).
2. A fascist (waves generally at - everything he does)
3. A cunt (points at everything he says)

Personally, I am surprised how well he's doing. His, fairly obvious, fronto-temporal dementia has progressed quite slowly so far.
I'd have expected him to be dribbling in a wheelchair by now.
