Making a few digits worth of wrong division way down in the not very significant bits of the answer, is way better than encouraging all your users to use an LLM to generate the answers for their quarterly reports / tax forms / do we have enough food for the winter calculations. The Pentium division fuckup was barely worth fixing unless you were doing some kind of numerical analysis or simulation or something, which is why it slipped past all the testing initially. This is astronomically worse of a fuck-up.

They even say not to use it for financial calculations or high stakes scenarios. They can’t provide an example of using it in any way that is useful for getting actual work done. It’s a solution in search of a problem.

Yeah, and I'm only supposed to use this bong for smoking tobacco. It said so very very clearly when I bought it so you know they mean it.
