Yet again, we can't afford to let LLMs become a source of epistemic grounding for society.
Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory

Retired European military leaders are coming forward, saying that renewable energy is a national security priority ✊

They’re calling for clean energy investment to count as defence spending, because the climate crisis is a real security threat.
Renewable energy investment should come from defence budgets, say retired military leaders
Former European officers say spending on low-carbon power would make nations more resilient to threats from potential aggressors

It is utterly obnoxious to democracy that Parliament is prohibited from discussing the monarchy unless the monarch first gives permission.
This negates the supremecy of Parliament and stops us having a debate or referendum on who is the head of state without the vested interest first agreeing.

ChatGPT now takes payments Through Stripe.
Remember the “sexy chat” option with AI?
This is now a Cash-for-Wanks platform.
Now they’ve the pay part sorted, I’m wondering if someone grunting “pay NOW, gawd dammit!” through a mist of ‘aerosol’ will actually work better than asking for an actual fact?

"OpenAI said it will allow users in the U.S. to make purchases directly through ChatGPT using a new Instant Checkout feature co-developed with Stripe.

This is an attempt to help OpenAI monetize its 700M weekly users, many of whom currently pay nothing."

Walmart partnership was just the beginning.

May make the world go around but it can be forward or backward.
Right now, politics is taking us back to the 1930s and tech is facilitating the lies to achieve it.
A shame on both their houses.

This is how religion works.
How dare non-believers doubt the existence of the teapot!
It’s also the reason that science requires that the positive be proven and that the proof be independently reproducible.
