I don't know if you've been following this conflict, but Israel's enemies don't need excuses to attack Israel. They think Israel doesn't have a right to exist, and thus see the very existence of the state of Israel as a provocation that justifies violence against Jews.
Okay... but computers perform many other tasks that only humans can perform, for example, do square roots or play chess. The point being LLMs are just another program running on an integrated circuit. In short, I fail to see how LLMs blur the line between man and machine but pocket calculators do not.
If I recall correctly, for a brief time mplayer disappeared from Debian. At the time I evaluated various alternatives and mpv was one of them, but I switched back to mplayer as soon as it made its way back to the distribution. For me, mplayer is the standard media player. I guess I just don't see any reason to switch to mpv or to any other player.

The first statement assumes that parameters (i.e. a state of nature) are random variables. That's the Bayesan approach. The second statement assumes that parameters are fixed values, not random, but unknown. That's the frequentist approach.
My understanding is that frequentist statistics was developed in response to the Bayesian methodology which was prevalent in the 1800s and which was starting to be perceived as having important flaws. The idea that the invention of Bayesian statistics made frequentist statistics obsolete doesn't quite agree with the historical facts.
I think it's a matter of personal preference. I much prefer going through a series of search results than reading anything a chatbot has to say about any topic.
Agreed. Real wealth consists of economic goods that provide utility when consumed or used. Financial wealth consists of claims on goods and services that may or may not be able to be exercised when the time comes. When discussing "wealth" care must be taken to distinguish between these two notions of wealth.
> We don't really need equality, we need an equitable outcome.
Ok. What does that mean? The problem with justice in general, and social justice in particular, is that different people have different opinions about what is just.
This reminds me of the first time I ran the X Window System on my computer. After one hour trying to start X unsuccessfully, I finally got the stipple background, which left me wondering what was the next step. There was no next step. I right-clicked on the background and a menu popped up. That was it. That was X, before my very eyes, in all its splendour.
Increases in strength usually go hand-in-hand with increases in bodyweight. I did Starting Strength, and gained 10kg in a few weeks. Some of it was fat obviously, but mostly it was muscle. Even though I didn't perceive myself much different everyone else did notice. Also I had to buy new clothes.
Squats and deadlifts are the most effective exercises for strength training, as they involve a large amount of muscle mass, and therefore allow you to lift heavy weights.
I think we have plenty of evidence that humans have the ability to understand, while chatbots lack such an ability. Therefore, I'm inclined to think that we don't employ some sort of organic LLM but something completely different.
AI doesn't have to be intrusive but this "personal assistant" stuff, which is what they're marketing to the general public at the moment, certainly is.
