And murcury is the closest planet to all of them!

That's his character though - annoying, but loyal loser struggling to make it Ina cruel world. It's what he does.

And you can get pretty much any cusine in the world, at Michelin star quality, somewhere in the UK. What's your point?

Jesus, the company quoted in that article, Ceaserstone, really suck balls. 'we're deeply disappointed by the decision to stop us killing young working men' 'we feel we should be allowed to kill just a few more, so that our profits don't suffer too much'

Seems likely given the recent talk of removing Trump via the 25th(?) ammendment. Less likely if there's no VP (let's hope noone in the administration watched The West Wing!)

Because 1) it's true and the article is a bit misleading as to whom is actually doing the lying and 2) it's important to remember that LLM are not sentient and to push back against the tide of language which subtly suggests they are.

The point is, the LLM is not 'lying' to you. It's showing you information. It doesn't 'know' whether the information is true or not. It also doesn't 'care'. Because it is a statistical model and is incapable of those things. And if you scroll back to my initial point, I said "technically, it's not lying, because lying requires intent to deceive, and LLMs don't have intent"

No, you are proving my point here. You say 'they' as in the publishers/owners/printers of the newspaper. You don't blame 'it' the literal, physical piece of paper you are holding in your hands.

In the same way that you would not say a clock was lying to you if it displays the wrong time.

If a newspaper prints lies you don't say the physical piece of pulped up tree you are holding is lying to you, you say the author is.

An LLM is a statistical modeling tool. It doesn't have goals. It can't have intentions. It just outputs according to an algorithm.

Oooh, philosophy! I disagree. I think that if a person programs a LLM to give disinformation, that's all it is. A lie giving misinformation knowing that's it's disinformation, intending do deceive. The LLM doesn't know what's true or false. It doesn't intend anything, because it is not a conscious entity. The person who programmed it can be lying by disseminating false information, the LLM cannot, any more than a broken clock or thermometer is 'lying' about the time or temperature.

Not technically lies, as to lie there has to be an intent to deceive. LLMs don't have any intentions.
