It's just preparing a narrative in the media. No different from what Anthropic did with Mythos and Fable. "Waaa, waa, we could so make money if the bad competitors didn't thwart us and bring our profits down by luring our customers with lower prices"

Remember: it's IPO season for Anthropic and OpenAI. Anything they say now is (more) suspect (than usual).

Hell, I'm doubting you have the humidity to go with the heat they way we do....?

You might want to take a moment to reflect on the fact that New Orleans is on the Mississippi River before taking your foot out of your mouth. I'd also like to add that I live in Trinidad, COI, on the Pugatoire River and know exactly what "Mosquito Season" means.

"Fox News" isn't about having a different approach. It's about artificially equalizing bullshit extreme viewpoints with mainstream educated viewpoints. American media (and American viewers) have suffered from this policy for decades now. It's why debates about flat earth, climate change, evolution etc exist endemically in that country.

I know Alex Jones is a wacko but Boomers believe everything printed in The Sun is God's own truth.

No, we don't. I say that as an early boomer (born '49) and a proud 'Nam vet. Not, please note, a "Vietnam war era veteran," but a true 'Nam vet and a member of the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club. I have never read the Sun, and have no idea what it is except that it appears to be some sort of newspaper that right-wing Limeys read.

Having a society with so much importance placed on "credentialism" and so little importance placed on being able to actually do things doesn't help.

I used to know a man who was trying to break into IT. The basis of his efforts was making sure he had the proper credentials for whatever position he was chasing. I don't know how many certs he ended up with, but they turned out to be a waste of time and money because I don't think he ever got into IT. What he never realized is that while certs may help, HR wants experience as well even if they're demanding seven years experience in a field that's only three years old.

Well, he could have tried. SCOTUS almost never accepts an appeal unless their are constitutional issues involved. And, if this had happened in the US, the student would have been charged as an Accessory Before the Fact for providing any credentials, passwords or other documents needed to get into the exam room and both of them would be charged with Conspiracy to Defraud.

The truth of a proposition has nothing to do with its credibility. And vice versa.
