Browsing and not using these tools nowadays is volunteering for a bad time, IMO.

The production of ignorance is booming as its trajectory takes it from roots in advertising, then lobbying, then political campaigns to center stage in political strategy and official government business.

I suspect the academics who study culturally cultivated ignorance will be playing catchup for at least a decade after this administration!

(Assuming they are still around, of course.)

As I said:

> a handy set theoretic implementation of the min() function.

i.e. if you wanted (for whatever reason) to define min(a, b) directly and briefly in your set theoretic reconstruction of the natural numbers, you can just use intersect operator and define it as "a ∩ b".

Perhaps because in terms of the interesting distinction you introduce:

> you have to distinguish things that are true of natural numbers as an algebraic structure, from things that just happen to be the case because you picked some specific representation to use for natural numbers

this particular operation seems to be part of the former rather than of the latter.

That firm represents the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, and previously represented Donald Trump in his defense against charges stemming from the discovery of classified government documents stored at Trump’s Florida estate.

So I don't know about "not a Washington person", but clearly connections exist to the current administration.

This kind of baby and bathwater argument could as well be used to ban writing altogether!

Hmm.

Being "the oldest and largest specialist anarchist bookshop in Britain" without succumbing to internecine bickering and factionalisation is pretty darn radical, I would have thought.

The reification of counterfactual outputs which are otherwise indistinguishable from the remainder of LLM production etiologically is a better candidate for the label "hallucination" IMO.

Or maybe there's an opportunity for someone to create an "interop environment" where AIs representing diverse persons' agendas within an organisation can come together and agree on outcomes and goals on behalf of their sponsors (maybe not completely serious, but ...)

Yeah, I know TFA is just notetaking but that shouldn't stop us from thinking ahead, right? The possibilities for cost-cutting in middle management are spectacular!
