If you are an expert on some topic and discuss it with the bot, you will quickly see that it falls short.
Yeah, I had a chat with Claude I think. About a toy language of mine, that incorporates pre and post conditions for method calls, like in Eiffel.
It was kind of confused weather you can harden the precondition or the postcondition.
After I pointed out he is wrong, he first quickly assured I am right, and surprisingly jumped back on trail and supported my correction, correctly.

Bottom line they are simply information retrieval and summary "agents", I guess when I pointed out he is wrong he was able to pull some external information, and just summarized it. (That was a research project, not an official Claude release)

We talked about Transformers.
The first movie.
Made for teens.

Advertized for adults.

I guess you got lost in the middle part where I mentioned, that I think this bullshit started with Transformes.

You probably only read a comment half and then jumped into this.

I never talked about "Super Girl" in this article.

Windows has failed, the experiment is over, Windows is a joke, and no professional would be caught using it, if they want to be taken seriously.

The problem is government. OK, nobody takes government IT seriously and for good reason, but they still need to interface with the government constantly. Since every fucking governmental entity in the USA is based on Windows and IBM, we're all forced to be able to interoperate with those. Microsoft has deliberately made their Office suite non-interoperable with false standards that require epic effort to duplicate to a working extent.

Local governments use Windows to interoperate with State govs. State govs use Windows to interoperate with the feds. Microsoft is a defense contractor and part of the panopticon (literally every whistleblower has had something to tell us about how our government uses their control over Microsoft to spy on us, they're a known member of PRISM, etc.) so the feds will "never" stop using Windows, and trying to keep the rest of us using it too.

I put never in quotes because sure it can change... but only way too late.

Don't you think that quite a few of the chip companies will pop together with the bubble, if a bubble pops?

Not unless a lot of new capacity is added. There are not a lot of fabs being built to increase memory production capacity. Not only will the AI demand not vanish overnight, but there is also going to be a lot of pent-up demand from consumers to satisfy. They will be comparatively pleased to pay only slightly elevated prices.

Also I believe various ranked-choice algorithms will elect centrists, even if the extremes are not equidistant from the center. The main problem is that the candidates have to be distributed in a way that matches the population, it may be that only extremists want to get into politics. In that case ranked-choice will choose the extremists nearest the center and still be an improvement.

The transition will take some time, so it would be nice if the US does not do a total collapse, but a slow slide into the 2nd world. But even if that collapse happens, the rest of the world will be ok.

The USA is the world's second largest manufacturer of heavy equipment, and it won't just go quietly. The death throes will be substantial. Meanwhile we've been getting a tech transfer from Ukraine so the USA can function in modern warfare.

Nothing good happens if the USA fails.
