"Almost as stupid as believing funding in the hands of Democrats isn’t the braindead move."
Except not at all. Just another "both sides" excuse by ignoramuses and bots.

"Lets jump on Californias..."
California has problems like everywhere, but California is remarkably successful by any measure, definitely not "fucked under Democrats".

"I’m certain the imaginary kids there know all about climate change. Like the homeless know how to sign a mail-in ballot."
And this is who you really are.

"With the global climatology science no longer relying on support and funding from one of the worst sources of pollution and environmental damage..."

What an ignorant take. One could easily dispute that the totality of the American economy is "one of the worst sources of pollution and environmental damage", but the US government is NOT the totality of the American economy.

How do you know it's generative AI?

This article links to another article, published presumably for profit, which links to an article that requires a subscription. It's just business promotion for a /. member, there's no information here or anything to discuss.

"Obviously, using a tool outside of what it can do well will usually do more damage than good."

What does the tool do well? We don't know, we haven't been told anything about the tool. And what damage or good can it do? An AI can do no damage unless it's wired to do damage. AI is just software, completely deterministic. Can Excel do damage? Even when used to do things it doesn't do well? The threat of AI is the people who try to exploit something poorly designed to do things they don't understand. So what if AI hallucinates, the possibility of harm doesn't come from AI, it comes from using its outputs to do harm.

...is that after reading the scrolls we can confirm what we already knew, that these people were stunningly ignorant by today's standards. They don't have anything to say to us.

Part of Peter Thiel's plan. Replacing the government with a dictator won't matter if he doesn't have something to do, or murderous robots to do it with.

It's not stealing if the owner is decreased, right?

Volvo sells gas-powered cars. Killing Polestar is a twofer, it's anti-Chiner AND anti-EV, plus Musk likes it.

"...designed to protect national security by keeping sensitive driver data and vehicle control systems out of the hands of foreign governments..."

Now there's some complete nonsense. Nothing worse than having that data in the hands of Elon Musk.

"Why do I get the feeling this is some person in the government thinking Volvo was still Swedish but Polestar is evil communism car."

Because MAGA does. Also, what about Lotus?

It would be a good start, but not worth it unless Musk and Thiel are also ruined.

"I think Microsoft just aren't testing legacy Outlook properly anymore ..."

CI/CD for the win.

There are no high paying jobs in data centers, just destruction of quality of life for locals. Perfect for red states, they are accustomed to being shit on, they vote for it.

"The worst people have the most money because they have no compunctions about harming others."

Yes, that's why capitalism must be regulated, precisely the opposite of what Republicans have pursued since the 80s.

You don't know what the alleged patents are, or whether they are granted rather than just filed. If "everyone already does this", where this is what is claimed in the patent, then there will be documentation. If there is documentation, the patent will not be granted. It's not magic.

"I ran headlong into what we now call hallucinations in 1996..."

Seems highly unlikely. "what we now call hallucinations" is a 21st century phenomenon, a decade later. "what we now call hallucinations" is an LLM failure mode, LLMs first appeared two decades later.

I wrote software with bugs back in the 80s, perhaps I have your hallucination claim beat by a decade, given that the term can mean anything.

"The reason 2Brains doesn't lie and the reason it's cheap are the same reason. It looks the fact up instead of guessing it ..."

Then it is constrained by what it can look up. A search engine with a natural language interface, not AI.

The reason humans do not lie (except when they do) is because they have values, not because the world is a multiple choice test with a cheat sheet. Humans can show their work, this doesn't even do work, it isn't a solution to anything and a proper solution obviates the need. Why employ "reasoning" when all the answers already exist? Because they don't. But hey, we can see why this guy got out of the business, and with the big money got back in. Same shit, different day.

Also...

"It is the whole ballgame for enterprise AI."

No, it is not. The "hallucination problem" is a symptom of a grotesque failure of architecture, but the ballgame for enterprise AI is predicated on a lack of such failure. Fixing the "hallucination problem" means you're in the ballgame, not that you've won. AI companies aren't interested in fixing it, though, they're interested in a race to grab the cash. Enterprises need to wise up, these tools aren't being developed to do a good job but to make billionaires richer.

The problem here is the assumption there is any technical reason at all. That's not how the Trump administration works.
