    Technological impossibilities exist all the time. They’re one of, if not the biggest, drivers behind engineering and design.

      Technological impossibilities exist all the time.

      This isn’t one of those times. We’re just scratching the surface of AI. Anyone saying anything absolute like it’s impossible for them to not hallucinate is saying “No one should listen to me”.

        Let me ask you this

        Take a CPU designed in the last 80 years. Ask it to divide integer 1 by integer 2. Explain to me why the CPU hands back 0 and not 0.5.

        Technical solutions do have fundamental limitations to them that cannot be overcome. That scenario plays out all the time. We didn’t overcome integer division by brute force, we acknowledged that the approach of having computers use integers for numbers is flawed and came up with a bunch of possible solutions until finally settling on IEEE754 and even then it still doesn’t handle all math correctly.

        Blindly saying such issues can be overcome is, imho, the truly stupid statement
