Stop saying that ChatGPT "hallucinates"

“Adam Frank argues that saying chatbots "hallucinate" risks conflating the operations of large language models with human cognitive processes.”

The article seems to focus attention on artificial intelligence.  But aren't human attempts to anthropomorphize AI the real hallucination?  We perceive the responses of AI to be human-like and hallucinate some sort of sentience.  So, AI is teaching us about the human condition in an awkward, back...

Hillary Clinton claims Trump will withdraw US from NATO if elected: 'He means what he says'

“Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton warned this weekend that former President Trump will try to withdraw the U.S. from NATO if he wins...”

Hillary Clinton doesn't seem to realize she is providing an endorsement for reelecting Donald Trump.  Clinton is stuck in the past which has become an obstacle to the future.  NATO doesn't serve a useful purpose for the United States any longer.  

Putin is Stronger Than Ever—Why?

“Despite setbacks in Ukraine, the Russian president looks set to consolidate his power at next month's elections.”

Is Putin really stronger?  Or is this just another lie told by liberals (and that includes neoliberals) to manipulate public opinion? From the lowly vantage point of an American peon, Vladimir Putin doesn't seem any different today than when Bill Clinton hob knobbed with him.  Vladimir Putin has...

Yes, New York really is a border state.  And it appears Biden's beloved migrants are learning to cross the northern border illegally, too.

“Donald Trump has threatened to not defend some NATO countries if Russia attacks them. But the US also benefits from the power that NATO gives it,...”

Yet another opinion piece about the evils of Trump.  NATO is only being used to justify the fearmongering.  And that fearmongering has twisted a small set of facts into a giant lie.  Of course, Trump haters are so gullible they'll swallow anything. Yes, NATO allies are reliable.  Those allies...

“Russia isn't likely to put nuclear missiles in space, but their reported anti-satellite weapon is just as alarming. An expert on nuclear strategy...”

Yes, President Biden has revived the Cold War.  Biden likely did not intend to revive the Cold War but, nevertheless, here we are.  At present the neoliberals in Congress are being confronted with irrelevance so their kneejerk fearmongering is understandable.  Cold War institutions, like NATO,...

Starfish Prime, When The U.S. Detonated A Nuke In Space

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  2 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  3 months ago

“On July 9, 1962, the U.S detonated a 1.4-megaton nuclear warhead 240 miles above the Pacific Ocean in a controversial test known as Starfish Prime.”

A bit of Cold War history that current politics has brought back to life.  Yes, President Biden really has revived the Cold War.  Biden has taken us back to the 1950s in terms of nuclear strategies and nuclear risks.  Biden has even approved the development of new gravity bombs that requires...

“We’re basically taking it out of hide in the Army”

Biden's lack of planning and incompetent leadership has created yet another crisis.  Cue violins; play a dirge.  And, oh yes, blame Republicans for Biden's screw up. The interesting tidbits found in this reporting is that the US Army claims to be spending million$.  But Biden is requesting...

Senate Democrat says 'no doubt' Putin involved in Navalny's death

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  5 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  3 months ago

“President Biden has blamed Putin for the death of Navalny, calling his death "more proof of Putin's brutality."”

Alexei Navalny aspired to be an insurrectionist.  Navalny wanted to overturn elections and take over the Russian government.  Alexei Navalny was the Russian version of the QAnon Shaman.  For Democrats, Navalny was a useful insurrectionist so he becomes a heroic 'opposition leader'. There's no...

The US Military Already Has a Decades-Old Countermeasure for Russian Space Nukes

Via: Nerm_L  •  News Viners  •  4 Comments  •  2 Likes  •  3 months ago

“During the Cold War, the Air Force used an F-15 and a specially designed missile to destroy a satellite in orbit.”

A bit of Cold War history riding the hype of the news cycle.  Joe Biden has already told us that Russia is not trying to revive the space nukes program.  Yes, there was some interest in orbital launch platforms, at one time, but the effort proved to be ill considered.  Satellites are highly...
