It's time to call a spade a spade. ChatGPT isn't just hallucinating. It's a bullshit machine.

From TFA (thanks @mxtiffanyleigh for sharing):

"Bullshit is 'any utterance produced where a speaker has indifference towards the truth of the utterance'. That explanation, in turn, is divided into two "species": hard bullshit, which occurs when there is an agenda to mislead, or soft bullshit, which is uttered without agenda.

"ChatGPT is at minimum a soft bullshitter or a bullshit machine, because if it is not an agent then it can neither hold any attitudes towards truth nor towards deceiving hearers about its (or, perhaps more properly, its users') agenda."

I think for the sake of mixed company and delicate sensibilities we should refer to this as a "BM" rather than a "bullshit machine". Therefore it could be a LLM BM, or simply a BM.

I'm such an underachiever. Here is "Sleepy Joe Biden", a doddering fool who even tries to sit where there is no chair, yet who also is the criminal mastermind behind an entire crime family and who easily controls all government and media for his own diabolical schemes. I mean, pick a lane, Republicans!

Oh, how terrible. If only someone could, I don't know, return the remaining hostages and end this. Or stop hiding among civilians. But no,...

Rally at a megaCHURCH? I was under the impression that if they accepted payment for space rental, that breaks their tax-exempt status. If they simply allowed a political rally, same problem. Hmmm....

I doubt motion sensors would be a good idea. Birds flying by, wind moving branches... waste of explosive.

I can't help but wonder if those Confederate statues were put there as a reminder to all those folk. I mean, it's been just a few months since we started taking them down, and all of a sudden they think civil war is a good idea again.

And if they say things like “God bless you”, I take it as a sign of respect

Very different from someone in the South saying "God bless your heart", which means they think you're being stupid.

I've seen this article in several places. This particular article states that at least one of the guys was armed with a pistol, while neglecting to detail the others. Nowhere did I read that there "were three unarmed men". Do you have a source, please?

With carmakers in a ‘state of shock’ over Tesla-beating BYD’s prices, EU investigators will visit China’s EV giants as part of an anti-subsidy probe ( fortune.com )

China might have problems with its economy, but as an exporter of affordable electric vehicles, it’s on a tear. Now, investigators from the European Commission will visit Chinese EV makers as part of a probe into whether they have an unfair advantage thanks to government subsidies....

the carmaker keeps its costs low partly by owning the entire supply chain of its EV batteries, significant since a battery accounts for roughly 40% of an electric vehicle’s price.

And this impossible for other carmakers because... ?

There's probably a big yellow wooden crate near the back, a stimpak under the driver's seat, a conductor's cap on the skeleton in the driver's seat, and a couple of feral ghouls sleeping on the benches.

"The unauthorized practice of medicine is a criminal offense in all states. Criminal offenses range from misdemeanors to felonies. Civil penalties range from education to the revocation of a medical license".

How does this not apply to legislatures who are, in effect, attempting to direct actual doctors?
