  • In general, the report found that the AI summaries showed “a limited ability to analyze and summarize complex content requiring a deep understanding of context, subtle nuances, or implicit meaning.” Even worse, the Llama summaries often “generated text that was grammatically correct, but on occasion factually inaccurate,”

    how is this being accepted? one would have to go through any output with a fine-toothed comb anyway to weed out ai hallucinations, as well as to preserve nuance and context.

    it’s like the ai tells you that mona lisa has three eyes and a nose and her mouth is closed but her denim jacket is open. you’re going to report that in your story without ever looking at the painting?



  • High Citadel was the first of his books that i read and i was hooked immediately. from the crash landing to the riverside standoff to the trek across the andes to the ultimate jet dogfight - it’s just one rollercoaster dip after another.

    and the guerrilla tactics were something else altogether. especially the building of the crossbows and the trebuchet as well as the crash caused by the cable spool.

    i’d still place Vivero Letter, Snow Tiger, and a couple of others above it but it’s miles ahead of Juggernaut, Wyatt’s Hurricane, and the weird one about some inheritance.




  • employees of companies with whom you’ve registered that email id sell it for some quick cash on the side.

    i can aver this confidently since i know someone from dominos pizza has leaked my email id. i have a convoluted gmail id which i use to register to all these services and – because it’s gmail – i can set up random dots and a custom phrase behind a + to register specific variants to specific companies (e.g., abcxyz123@gmail vs. ab.c.xyz123+dominos@gmail).

    all the spam and pseudo-phishing email is sent only to the variant which i’ve registered to dominos and not to a different variant (e.g., a.bcxyz123+bankname@gmail) registered to any other company.

    the leaked email id doesn’t contain a name and is too random for it to just be “guessed” by the spammers.
