The simplest explanation would be one which doesn't require invoking AI at all, because AI is a complication and distraction.

I'd argue it's either advanced incompetence (being stupid enough to not recognize Trump is the spearhead of a Russian attack on our country) or something other than incompetence, like treason.

Mission accomplished. If I wanted a quick return to feudalism I could just push for nuclear war, at least there would be interesting explosions of something other than ignorance.

This is why I'm not sad when people suggest Hollywood might dry up and blow away. Good. Fuck them. They don't pay their taxes anyway and they are absolutely going to replace everyone they can with AI so those jobs are going away no matter what.

Feel free to foe me and score my comments down if your feefees are hurt.

If they're speaking as if they knew facts when they don't, then they're lying about their level of information.

But that's the rebuttal to the beginning of your own paragraph! You cancelled out your own comment! That's exactly the reason why The People would be outraged at it if they were smart, which in turn is the reason why the Republicans began to attack public education in the Reagan era.

What the fuck do you mean "or"? It was old and incorrect. The only question to be answered is whether or not its use was intentional.

AHJAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAhAHAHaHHA HA HAH AH AHA HAH HAHAHAHAH

Pete Hegseth would like to have a word with you. He heard you were smuggling drugs and he's going to have your boat blown up and then have you fired on instead of rescued as it sinks, you fucking nationalist clown. And then congress will recess instead of holding him accountable. Whoops! That happened already, except the part where you were involved. You were too busy at home patting yourself on the back for supporting child rapists. Someone should check your hard disk.

Guess how many schools and hospitals are on military bases in the USA, fucknut. Just fucking guess.

If we consider the attack on the school as a deliberate action then it fits in neatly with prior deliberate actions regarding Iran, which had the effects of plunging them into chaos, which was what we wanted. Keeping war with Iran eternally on the table is beloved by all warhawks, of which there's an ample supply on "both sides" of the aisle — while on some topics there are two sides in Congress, funding the MIC is not one of them.

There are highly technical people right here on Slashdot angrily insisting that everyone else is wrong about AI hallucination because, I presume, they are tired of thinking and also too stupid to recognize that AI is not. They engage in magical thinking and then appeal to technological explanations of how the LLMs work as if that were relevant when we know so little about how the brain works. We are currently at the level where we can only model very simple brains, and badly. They are certainly doing things that our models aren't because the real things can do things our models can't.

All, as you say, because it's so much easier not to think, and they insist on believing that they won't have to do much more of it.

Agreed, but for that they would have to collect more metadata, or they would have to spend processing time automatically generating it (and likely getting it wrong.) This is why I use eBay for shopping over most other sites, though I may not purchase there depending on what deals are available at the time.

Google made ChromeOS because at the time chrome for Android was trash

How much evidence of this do we need? Blowing up those boats and then killing some of their crews should have proved it. We are the international criminals. We are the bad guys.

Which they know because they kept the receipts from when they fucked up education to make them stupid

Kind of makes you wonder if he lied about it for a reason

Yes, allowing more media consolidation to make the news media even less independent is surely going to increase freedom! Clown.
