Comment Re:Those who cannot remember history (Score 1) 104

the two things--greater domestic wealth for the working class, and a strong foreign policy--historically have been demonstrably causally correlated. Again, as I have alluded to in my previous post, the postwar American economy was extremely prosperous

Someone might counterargue that building bombs that do nothing but explode (or worse, destroy assets) is not a benefit to the economy, and that the 90s had an economic boom as the world returned to peace, and anyway government spending doesn't matter (economically) if it's on bombs or on anything else.

It would be interesting if you looked up how much benefit was from war spending and how much was from other effects. I think you will find there is not actually a correlation.

The problem is that the LLM only does one trick. When you start integrating other software with it, the other software's input has to be fed in the same way as your other tokens.

Not really, you can have a pre-processor that text-matches (maybe with a regular expression) phrases like "what time is it?" or "wut tim" and responds with the appropriate time. Doing it that way actually saves processing power.

If the Israelis had really wanted peace, they wouldn't have engaged in half-assed occupation for the past sixty years.

It's not a very good analysis. Israel is not a monolith, it's made up of many people of varying power. Some want peace, some don't. When violence happens, it increases the power/influence of people who don't.
