"Admit" is a strong word, I'd go for "desperately attempt to deny".

Yea, the artists are about half the reason for me to be on that site to begin with.
I made a sneer about moving from Twitter to yet another Jack Dorsey social network, but after looking into it he apparently left Bluesky and joined Musk's team instead, because of moderation options. Geez, maybe I should sign up. But creating and keeping track of new accounts to sites is a pain in the aaaaaaassssss.
I just met with a great-aunt who has been a bit distant until now. A rare time for me meeting with relatives of her generation since I ran out of living grandparents about a decade ago (though thankfully I at least hear from most of them from mom occasionally).
We talked about some of our common relatives of her generation and some have dementia-related anterograde amnesia not quite unlike the OP's mother. At least some of them can at least remember "new" things like the very fact that their memory doesn't work right, but a lot of it is down to luck and conditioning, and even then it's really hard to always consider that something might have happened hours or minutes ago, but you just forgot about it.
Memory is hella complex is what I'm saying.
Didn't have that on my bingo card for this year, but it's on brand. A big part of The Onion's MO is just riding out the insanity and inject a little of their own.
Good he found the right gadget for the job. I'm happy it works and has improved the mother's life.
It's frustrating that subscription-based product enshittification is so ubiquitous that avoiding it needed to be included as a constraint, and even pointing that out feels banal and trite for how much it's the default.
Kabosu didn't die for this.
Investigating a user for a sus body shaming post, banning them for a programming drama post. Truly a self at awful dot systems moment. Never change (meaning this sincerely, thanks for the good mod work).
Next you're gonna tell me Ministry of Defence has a war machine?
Trump managed to win over Gen Z men
…in the sense that more Gen Z men voted for him than in the last election. I am seeing this spin a lot and it honestly seems like a deliberate scapegoating ploy.
The exit poll stats seem to tell a different story.
Data from NBC News considering "key states" (apparently Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin)
Yes, young men favored Trump. So did all other men (and even Gen X women, if narrowly). Among both genders included in the data, Gen Z was the least likely to vote for Trump and the most likely to vote for Harris.
Granted, these stats are only from the aforementioned states and can't represent the full picture, but they are the only relevant statistics I have seen posted on the matter and the best data I could quickly find. If anyone can show me the data that the darn kids these days are to blame, I'd like to see sime data.
LLMs are quite impressive as chatbots all things considered. The conversations with them are way more realistic and almost as funny as the ones with the IRC markov chain my friend made as a freshman CS student.
Of course, out bot's training data only included the IRC channel's logs of a few years and the Finnish Bible we later threw in for shits and giggles. A training set of approximately zero terabytes in total.
LLMs are less a marvel of machine learning algorithms (though I admit they might play a part) and more one of data scraping. Based on their claims, they have already dug through the vast majority of publicly accessible world wide web, so where do you go from there? Sure, there are a lot of books that are not on the web, but feeding them in the machine is about as hard as getting them on the web to begin with.
