Amazon is making money off AI copies of books - and putting the onus on authors to prove they’ve been plagiarised.
Honestly, just stop buying books from Amazon. Get them from an actual bookshop or order them from a reputable book supplier like bookshop.org

Amazon Is the World's Biggest Online Book Marketplace. It's Filled With AI Knockoffs
Authors say Amazon's knockoff book problem is leaving them frustrated — and making the internet worse in the process.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

Men aren't more lonely than women but the loneliness epidemic is real. Millions are in isolation, it's capitalist individualism, & disability is isolating. Lots of folks are really alone. But it's not gendered, that framing is patriarchy, babying men like their unhappiness is everyone else's burden.
According to Pew Research and a few other stats, the loneliness epidemic isn’t disproportionately affecting men over other genders.
I have a feeling that men have been the squeaky wheel over the last few years.
If anything, we have a loneliness epidemic because more people are (barely) surviving.

It’s not a mystery that STEM professors HATE accommodations and harass students over them. If not faculty then their peers will bully them. 👀

The issue here is the term “AI” getting distilled to LLMs. LLMs are probabilistic models not deterministic. So yes it is intrinsically impossible for it to do simple math. You would need a specialized model that has deterministic math built in. That doesn’t exist. Yet.

If it doesn’t operate that way, then it’s not an LLM. Really, if you want to do math, use a machine that’s made to do math. They’re cheaper to run too.
Some of them are terrible at some kinds of math though, don’t do population statistics in Excel, it’s been provably bad at that since 1997

No.
LLMS are not taught, they just do statistical inference from their training sets, and do not operate in the strictly determinist way required to do mathematics.
We already have computers to do maths, they’re called computers.

No. Unlike regular computers AI absolutely does not do numbers. There’s no number associated with that symbol, it’s just a word that statistically gets the operator to say “yes” to the machine that assembles words until you say “yes”
It doesn’t even get that “8” and “eight” are the same symbol
