Comment Missed opportunity (Score 3, Funny) 101

Last week, the agency introduced Elsa, an artificial intelligence large-language model similar to ChatGPT.

They were so close to calling it Eliza.

I for one welcome my new drug approving overlords. Hallucinations are exactly what I look for in my drugs. "Cancer cure with a side trip to rotational-verse? Yes please, and cue up extra dimensions!"

"radically increase efficiency" in examining as many as 500,000 pages submitted for approval decisions.

Reject it, status tl;dr

This is false. Python has 3rd party libraries that handle numbers well. Those libraries are not Python

Python has built-in support for arbitrary precision integers by default, with no 3rd party libraries needed.

STEP 1 - Build a company so pernicious that what Palantir would kill for you get willingly from billions of people.
STEP 2 - After having established your brand, change it to a really really stupid name. I like Neil Stephenson's 1992 Metaverse. Mark Zuckerberg's neuro-diverse (ha ha!) version is just a stupid name. One day someone will explain to him what "meta" means.
STEP 3 - AI? SUPER-AI? SUPER-AGURI AI?
STEP 4 - PROFIT

h/t Southpark: What's Step 3 again? Nobody knows.
