Sorry, you seem to think your link invalidates the point. It does not, but you're welcome to make up a strawman and answer it. I would dress up as a batman to keep you honest, but in my culture we don't know what that is. Thanks for playing, though.

... no.

Sometimes, social scientists who are under pressure to publish, anything, no matter what, to increase their publication count, will propose stupid experiments, that don't cost much to do, do not measure any intrinsic behaviour of humanity, and can be modified trivially to generate alternative papers. The trick is to brainstorm and try out a lot of these, until the p-value finally fits.

How much is this problem is down to AI and how much to beautiful tariffs?

Presumably, a super intelligence has ways of identifying the time that transcend the merely intelligent idea you've put forth?

You're suggesting The Matrix is the way to go?

Just out of interest, did DOGE go after the FAA at any time?
We had a Slashdot poster (posting as a/c of course) blaming DEI whenever anything went wrong at Boeing, as you can imagine that was a lot of posts.

They aren't complete idiots, if the solution was that simple they would do it that way.

Not good enough. The stopped clock doesn't require electricity to idle:)

It's far from stupid to discuss. It's what you pay OpenAI and Anthropic and Microsoft for. It's why they have the valuations. If you claim the LLMs are subhuman tools then the bubble bursts. And your little 401k goes with it. For someone defending LLMs you appear to have a very contradictory understanding of the industry.

Nah, waste of time. I've often thought that these graveyards are valuable real-estate and should be sold off to developers. The people buried there are dead, get over it.

That could be said to apply to the West Bank to a certain extent, as far as I remember (and I was a kid when it happened) that was the part left over after Israel had grabbed the land - kicking the previous occupants out which was the initial State of Israel. Refugees from there mostly landed in Lebanon, Jordan and Gaza.
Israel backed Christian militia perpetrated a massacre (Sabra and Shatila) in 1982 after the armed PLO fighters had withdrawn from the area and I have no idea what the situation is there nowadays.
Israel invaded the West Bank in 1967, "settlers" are treating a bit like the US treated the "Indians" in the 19th century, although still on a smaller scale.

Could you explain which are the territories where Arabs could grant full citizenship to Palestinians? Israel could do that in the West Bank but then they would be outnumbered. Jordan did that in the 1960s, something which basically divided the country into two - the previous inhabitants and the refugees, the two had different priorities and it did not go well.

The examples named were not of conflicts over water, they were of Russians and Israelis creating water shortages as a weapon.

What do humans have to do with super human intelligences? Are you saying that if humans are bad at telling the time, then super human intelligences should be excused for being worse than humans at that task? Did you miss the bit about "super"? It's from Latin, it means "above", "over", "beyond", "better".

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day! Are you saying LLMs are less intelligent than a stopped clock?
