<p>Sure but this is true regardless of the model. Either it found a bug or it didn't—who cares about the intermediary steps or tools used so long as the reporter can reproduce it?</p>

<p>From everything i've seen it seems to have the <i>opposite</i> tone and ethos as biblical sodom & gomorrah—it's oriented around welcoming strangers and not abusing them. Even being kicked out would be preferable.</p>

<p>> I would describe it as literally sodom on earth.<p>This would be extremely disturbing given the extreme extent to which people rely on the hospitality of others, as I understand it. I hope you mean it in a sense of indulgent degeneracy rather than in the biblical sense.</p>

<p>"The Dawn of Everything"'s interpretation of this is that we only relied on (sedentary) agriculture when we were forced to because of climate change, overpopulation, or threat of violence from other local peoples, so there are several thousand years between evidence of capability and necessity.</p>

<p>> Burial is the standard way<p>(Assuming you mean the obvious and immediate semantics of digging a hole and placing the corpse within it...)<p>It may be now, but there are many ways to provide corpse disposal without risking health. Sky and tree burials are clear evidence of other corpse disposal methods. I imagine cremation is pretty obvious to humans too.<p>Some people even exhume the bodies and perform rituals with it. I find this nauseous but it wouldn't be a thing if societies were being eliminated from its effects.</p>

<p>Maybe. I haven't heard anything impressive from the bio side of my social network, nor can I see anything from the computational side (including my own understanding). Thankfully it'll be pretty obvious if they find something interesting.</p>

<p>The point of naming it a "skull cult" is really just pointing out people found human remains to be important—something largely true today too, and hardly more romantic than our own understanding of burial.</p>

<p>Estimating "common" is quite difficult, but given that there are pre-colonial aboriginal australian burial sites, we can estimate that it either can be traced to Africa or is sufficiently common to not be surprising. There is even evidence (not proof) of neanderthal burial rituals, fwiw.</p>

<p>No, I was suggesting that we should <i>not</i> downvote people celebrating that they learned something. Learning things is certainly most of why I am here.<p>But, like much of the internet, people here still use it as a "dislike" button, which is frustrating.</p>

<p>Their cyber security seems to be a much more materially interesting (and likely profitable) business than "intelligence". Unfortunately they've created a sort of mutually-assured-destruction racket where they take payments from both "sides" of any secured boundary.<p>I'm not holding my breath for the biology side of things, but I suppose it's possible they find interesting things.</p>

<p>> I want them to show me that they are not wasting/splurging it.<p>Why don't you apply this same attitude to for-profit organizations, which are by definition wasting your money?<p>This is just idle curiousity—non-profits play a very odd role in our society, and I don't generally give to <i>any</i> of them in lieu of direct donations. Obviously that doesn't scale....</p>

<p>> I mean, look at the query. To the author, it was an attempt to source information. Yet the author also realised that the reader would need context to understand why Google's response was weird in their mind. What they failed to do was give context to Google, so the LLM interpreted it as asking for social advice.<p>Is there any evidence that there <i>is</i> an informal (llm) parallel to keyword search? At least with keywords it's analyzable what query you might use to find a given document. How can we replicate this with LLMs? Why would google care if the average user doesn't?</p>
