Oh my got, the floppy disk drive sound, is so accurate, I am in full nostalgia mode. Off on to ebay to buy a real PS2! haha. The pain, the pain of ISA Cards etc. ALthough no physical cuts!

If you go back to Alan Turings' paper, its all about chastisement! honestly, last pages are all about postive and negative (child!) reenforcement - 1950's style (I do not condone ... etc). Simple as that. I conduct high level litgation in the courts, and win because of a good LLM, with a good version of me, keeping it in line! also crypto and cyber sec. Of course, child rearing, and dealing with former spouses is also very useful. The orginal paper 1950 https://tinyurl.com/yuszahpw (punish is mentioned six times). Just say-ing-like. TTFN.

New comment by ethical in "DeepSeek and Grok hallucinated the same fictitious OpenBSD manpage quote"

ethical — Wed, 13 May 2026 16:04:45 +0000

Author here. Happy to answer questions about the methodology or the hallucination detection technique. The identical-text convergence between DeepSeek and Grok was the most surprising part of the day — two separate sessions, same fabricated attribution. The empirical gate (re-reading the actual manpage) took about 90 seconds to catch it.

Author here. Happy to answer questions about the methodology, the broader Are You There? series (16 closed findings in total), or how Apple's security response process works in practice.

What they don't tell you. Everyone in the company will hate you, no one will fix the bugs you find, HR will want to sack you for fun, and the execs are all psycho's. Find a better career, like watching paint dry, or become a monk. Its fun, but not worth it. People are twats.

emmings started life as a simple animation back in August 1989 when DMA Design had just moved into their first office (which only consisted of 2 small rooms), and were beginning a new game called Walker (based on the walker that was used in Blood Money).
