That's literally what their goal is, yes.

And I bet someone is using an obsolete LLM or is failing to format their inputs correctly somewhere in the world right now too. Doesn't change the reality that's in front of me.

And yet the LLMs that I use actually do distinguish, in my actual real life experience.

So you're telling me the sky is orange while I'm literally looking outside the window and seeing that it is not.

That thing you're calling a fact is not in fact a fact.

It's not just New Zealand. The Democracy Perception Index just came out for 2026 and the US is seen as the largest threat worldwide, a very significant swing from last year. I just watched a Mallen Baker video on the subject.

At this point that supposed 60 day limit on warfighting authorization another of those "checks and balances" that's just a historical footnote now. Nobody's enforcing it so it.

I like how "as of my knowledge cutoff" implies that maybe the first 31 digits of pi might change someday.

And to be fair (which I hate doing with these monsters but which rational thought demands) it's not unreasonable to start your research by forming a hypothesis before you've collected sufficient data to actually back it up. That's the usual pattern. But that's the start of research. You shouldn't be making public policy based on that hypothesis yet.

So, another clear sign that these guys started with their beliefs (in this case that vaccines cause autism) and are now desperately scrambling to find evidence to "back it up" because they didn't have sufficient evidence to begin with. Not that evidence will change their minds regardless.

Exactly backward from how science works. But in line with religion, so.

They didn't notice miscalculations until well after 1700 days into a 3-day special military operation? They don't math very well.

The world is changing. It happens from time to time. In this case the change is a particularly big one and it's still ongoing, so I can't make any predictions about where it's going to end. But I can be pretty confident that it's not going to magically change back. So my best advice is to try out the new tools, see whether you can adapt to them and use them to improve your own productivity in new ways, and if not then as a fallback start looking at other directions to take your career.

Harsh, perhaps, but the world does as the world does.

And against this backdrop Trump has the utter gall to be using "forced labor" as an excuse for his latest attempt to tariff every other country (aside from Russia for some reason).
