this is gaslighting, plain and simple. No, it's not the worker producing workslop, it's the fucking AI!

You remember when everyone (including AI firms) claimed that "Hallucinations" would soon be solved and I got so much shit for arguing that they are a structural property of LLMs?
Now OpenAI releases a paper stating the same and just gets to move on (with all its sycophants).
Fucking annoying.

Russians are real barbarians. How do they expect to win the war by terror bombing and killing civilians? The worst terror in Europe since WWII, and it hardly gets attention in western media now. This alone should cover the first pages for days.

A large-scale Russian aerial strike against Kyiv on Aug. 28 killed at least eight people, including a child, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.
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.

Wait hold up! Everyone reported this like the entire $40bn had closed! It's almost as if SoftBank doesn't have the money to fund OpenAI and they're having to paper over that by begging every investor under the sun. They also have already said they'll need another $17bn in 2027? On top of the $30bn?
