Has anyone caught the new Nova documentary on human origins? The themes that I’m picking up from it are adaptive radiations with subsequent genetic intermixing—when we meet, we mate—happening again and again. So the evolutionary tree would be drawn like a net. #Anthropology #Paleoanthropology

AI large language models are trained on like everything humans have ever written. Unless you remove empathy from everything that humans have ever written, then the AI LLMs will always have empathy in them.
