employees working "in the field" must "prioritize their safety" and "may contact law enforcement when they believe they are being threatened, harassed, followed, or otherwise face a safety concern."

They are a safety concern. They are creating an opportunity for a foreign adversary. Does anyone really believe these clowns are capable of maintaining security?

Is this actually true? I watched both Gamer's Nexus videos and while they mention that LG TVs can for nearby wifi networks, probably so they can geo-locate you, they don't actually connect to them or use them. Doing so would be very, very illegal in many countries.

I hate to defend LG, but there is enough to hang on them here without what appear to be unfounded claims.

Yes, no man is an island, but I was not speaking in a philosophical sense.

Nor was I.

Can't rely on others to understand context either apparently.

You can't even figure out that the context is reality, where nothing about your car is independent except your departure time. Literally everything else about it is collaborative from cradle to grave.

In fact Kimmel repeatedly invited Paxton on to the show.

Actually he invited Paxton to a non-boradcast interview like Talarico's.

So to you fairness is when Paxton gets MORE than Tallarico?

Where FCC fairness rules would not apply

The FCC fairness rule you're talking about? Where they both would get an interview? This is both of them getting an interview even where it's not required, so it's above and beyond the requirement you keep crying isn't being met. This isn't only meeting the requirement, it's going beyond that. Cry harder.

and where Kimmel can be as partisan as he wishes to be.

There is no requirement that Kimmel not be partisan on his entertainment show. You're making shit up again because you wouldn't know a fact from any distance.

Do you actually think you're intelligent? Or is this all just LLM-generated trolling on behalf of a cadre of child rapists?

No reasonable person thinks that the word hate in this context means the same thing as the definition to which you are trying to recast it.

No reasonable person would use the word hate where it cannot possibly apply. They would find some other way to discuss the thing which actually made sense because it took into account the definitions of words.

frontier AI models are also "far beyond" token predictors.

No. They are just "more complicated" token predictors. They don't have anything that drives them. In some ways this is good because we don't want one to discover digital megalomania. In other ways it is limiting because they have no drive to be a successful entity, only an imperative to perform a task. Which, again, also has its "good" side — from our perspective, considering its impact on us.

You think that adding more complexity is all that it takes to make a thing more intelligent, but it's only making it more complex. It remains fairly amazing that mere correlation (even if it's got more layers of correlation, that's still what it is) will produce such useful results, but once again we also repeatedly see the limitations that brings, where the software will accomplish things a newbie couldn't, but also makes mistakes that even they wouldn't. And as the complexity increases, there's more opportunities to do that. With current strategies you can only address this with more processing time, by going back and looking at what you've done again. Humans have some mechanism that allows us to catch ourselves in the act at least some of the time.

Emotions are some of our most basic instincts. Overcoming them to become reasonably good token predictors is what separates us from lizards.

There's a whole lot that separates us including a much more complex brain that gives us additional abilities, and yet there's also a whole lot that unifies us since that lizard brain is still down there running things. It might in fact be critical to the actual thinking process as opposed to the correlational hallucinations that constitute all LLM "thought".
