Dishonest Larry? That sounds alrather Trumpian and it doesn't sit well with me. What did Larry Page do to deserve a label from you?

The articles you share are both interesting and I appreciate the share. However I've found the tool useful. Moreso than wading through Wikipedia pages, which I do love to do but not when I am reading a book.

These tools certainly aren't correct coincidentally. Ask Gemini to define 100 words and get back to me on the success rate. Is it coincidence? No. It's statistics. ANNs are based on pattern recognition. They have significant defficiencies and downsides, but the unfortunate reality is that their margin of usefulness means they aren't going away.

And if just like to bring something to your attention: poisoning wells is a well worn Jewish conspiracy theory, and I can't help but find it a bit self defeating that you are claiming that a Jew (Larry page) is poisoning the well of my reading of Hannah Arendt.

If anything, I find your statements much more typical of people with an unhealthy media diet. And I am not accusing you, it's just my observation from afar.

If they didn't have a friend helping them they would ask AI when they had setup issues. Quite a few of them said they wouldn't have been able to do it without the LLM.

They probably could have but it can be hard to sift through forum posts if you're new at something.

I see it as the pyramids of our time. You would think with all that money they would build a canal to bypass the straight of Hormuz, but no, islands shaped like trees.

I think some context here is lost. I was asking for parralels between the Dreyfus affair and modern events. The anti Dreyfusards had phrases they used to identify each other and I thought about the parralels between that and the January 6 insurrection. Specifically the statement that the election was stolen. When I asked for similarities that started this conversation, because it basically refused to draw the parralels.

I agree about the environment, however insofar as this tool can help get us out of this political catastrophe caused by the US, it's unfortunate but necessary. "Drill baby drill" needs to stop by any means necessary.

Why is that? The book was written in 1951. It's a real struggle to find the translations, the relevant information and the context by yourself.

I don't live in the US either.

I did put in a complaint. Maybe they fixed it.

Was the porn floppy 8, 5 or 3 inches?

As a nicotine addict, I wouldn't advise this. Making every one of us go cold turkey in one moment will be the end of humanity. Nicotine withdrawal is no joke.

I don't understand your fury to be honest. It's unhinged. So what happened to make you feel this way?

It's such a brilliant show. I also love the fact that there are weird little unexplained things that only make sense way later but actually hinted at major plot points.

Walter: "You used to love pancakes" Peter: "I've never liked pancakes"

I paraphrase but two major elements of the plot right there.

I love it but it's so hard to watch. My insides hurt.

My wife can't handle the pain.

It's fun if you're running Linux.
