  His pigments are pretty cool. I’ve used several over the years and quite liked them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla exaggerated EV range so much that drivers thought cars were broken⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  How often do you take road trips? The vast majority of trips taken by car are within 20–30 km. An average EV range can easily cover most people’s daily driving needs.

  Not surprising really. Google has decided that it really doesn't want me to use it so I switched to DDG a couple of years ago. And it doesn't feel like I've lost anything of value.

  He’s playing with his new middle age crisis toy. Cars and spaceships became boring.

  I dislike that price of Chinese spyware as much as the next guy here, but that take is incredibly rude and condescending.

  Young people tend to read as much of not than older generations.

  It was his in the 00s and he bought it back in 2017, as some article mentioned earlier.

  Very interesting read. This article probably has the most sense out of everything I read about him in the news since he bought twitter. Not sure how close it is to the actual motivation behind all that’s happened, but if it is, it explains a lot.

  Xit. Pronounced as in Xi Jinping.

  Reposting a comment from another similar thread to show that this is easily fixable, and you should be wary of any non-reputable news source anyway.

  So I was curious how current LLMs might handle this with proper instructions, so I asked chatGPT this: “What can you tell me about this Reddit post? Would you write a news article about this? Analyze the trustworthiness of this information:” and pasted the text from the post. Here’s a part of its reply:

  This Reddit post appears to be discussing updates in the context of […] Hearthstone and World of Warcraft. However, there are several factual inaccuracies which raises questions about the trustworthiness of the post:

  1. Hearthstone was first released in 2014, not 1994. This error may be a typo or a misunderstanding by the user.

  2. Glorbo does not appear to be a known character in either the Hearthstone or World of Warcraft universe […]

  3. Chen Stormstout is a known character from the Warcraft universe, but the claim about him being the end boss of a new version of Karazhan doesn't match with any known information […]

  4. Dragonflight is not known as a video game developer or associated term in the context of Hearthstone or World of Warcraft […]

  Given these points, it seems this post might be either a joke, speculation, or misinformation. […] So I'd recommend taking this information with a grain of caution and verify it from reliable sources.

  […] I would caution against using the information in this post for a news article due to the factual inaccuracies and lack of verifiable sources. Good journalism relies on accuracy, fact-checking, and use of reliable sources. This Reddit post contains several claims that contradict established knowledge, and without further verification from reliable, official sources (like game developers or official news releases), it would not be advisable to use this information in a news article.

  So it’s not even an issue with current models, just bad setup. An autoGPT with several fact-checking questions added in can easily filter this stuff.

  Yeah, I think that at this point there should just be an established term, not an ever-expanding acronym. Like an actual pronounceable word. Is there one besides "queer"?
  Could something-divergent work? Like neurodivergent/neurotypical, that became more well-known in recent years. I kinda like those.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is ChatGPT Getting Worse?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, definitely. I have a plus subscription, and stuff that was easy for it just a few months ago now seems to take several back-and-forths to barely approach similar results.

  Science content is where I noticed the most degradation. It just stares at me using blank “it’s not in my training data” answers to questions that used to have comprehensive responses a while ago.

  I think they’re scaling down the models to make them cheaper to run?
