This is one of the things LLMs are actually pretty good at. Just don’t blindly trust its output.

It’s not dependent on constant software updates.

I bet every modern fighter jet is. “Dependent” might not be the best word, but if you can make your existing jet better just by optimizing the software, then of course they should.

It’s probably true to say that F-35 is objectively better than a Gripen, but it’s way more expensive too. More Gripens might actually be better than fewer F-35s. My understanding is they’re more focused on electronic warfare.

Even broke the warranty seal over the USB port.

Firstly, it’s not just about the price of the drones being shot down - it’s also about the price of whatever they were going to hit if you didn’t stop them.

And secondly, that’s entirely beside the point anyway. The Dutch need stealth fighters just as much as anyone else would.

Either you’re talking confidently about something you couldn’t possibly know, or you’re risking the rest of your life in prison for leaking top-secret military info. Which is it?

It was Dutch F-35s that shot down the Russian drones over Poland. It could’ve just as well been a Russian fighter jet they scrambled to intercept.

Yeah, they do need a stealth jet. Stealth is what lets you fire your missiles before the enemy even knows you’re there.

General intelligence refers to human level intelligence where it’s not only limited to one task like playing chess or generating language. General intelligence exists - just not artificial one.

Saying that it’s good at one thing and bad at others.

But that’s exactly the difference between narrow AI and a generally intelligent one. A narrow AI can be “superhuman” at one specific task - like generating natural-sounding language - but that doesn’t automatically carry over to other tasks.

People give LLMs endless shit for getting things wrong, but they should actually get credit for how often they get it right too. That’s a pure side effect of their training - not something they were ever designed to do.

It’s like cruise control that’s also kinda decent at driving in general. You might be okay letting it take the wheel as long as you keep supervising - but never forget it’s still just cruise control, not a full autopilot.

It’s a Large Language Model designed to generate natural-sounding language based on statistical probabilities and patterns - not knowledge or understanding. It doesn’t “lie” and it doesn’t have the capability to explain itself. It just talks.

That speech being coherent is by design; the accuracy of the content is not.

This isn’t the model failing. It’s just being used for something it was never intended for.

What do you even do on Instagram for 16 hours?

I’ll start paying for YT before I ever start watching ads. I won’t as long as I don’t have to, but the second they finally figure this out, I’m subscribing.

It’s well worth the money considering how much I use it and for how long I’ve used it for free. It’s honestly one of the few streaming services actually worth paying for.

Apparently there is a way around it as I’ve been watching YouTube all day and haven’t encountered a single ad.

Ah, or mAh might be a little confusing though - two different batteries can have the same Ah rating but wildly different capacities.

I always convert everything to watt-hours by multiplying ampere-hours by voltage.

Cut thinner slices? Idk. That never happens to me and I slice cucumber daily. I don’t think I could make a slice roll even if I tried to - they just fall over.

Well, they don’t in this case either - they just add an extra step to it. You can buy a bit like that off eBay.

I went looking for a screenshot of that scene but got distracted by all the shop-vacs painted as R2D2. Off to buy white and blue paint.

Not to defend BMW here but it’s likely a very specific part that this screw is used for and 99% of home mechanics probably are never going to encounter it. Most likely having something to do with the high-voltage system which you shouldn’t be messing with anyway.

Probably didn’t read it because it was clearly low-quality slop - not because the final output was written by AI.

People don’t mind AI-generated content when they don’t detect it as such. It’s the low-effort garbage they don’t want to deal with.

Nobody has a perfect radar for AI content. This is just the good old toupee fallacy in action: “All toupees look terrible because I’ve never seen a good one” - except the good ones are the ones you never clocked as toupees.
