@colin_fraser Repeat after me, a Large Language Model ONLY models language. It knows nothing of facts, of logic, of reason. It can only formulate an appropriate utterance in response to previous utterances. “Apropriate” only means properly formed, not correct or true or accurate.
Question for book research: in the US in the early 1980s, were there states where a woman couldn’t obtain a divorce if the husband refused to sign the papers?

BREAKING: New economic analysis shows the U.S. will account for 26.3% of the global gross domestic product. This is the highest percentage in over 2 decades. It’s a sign that President Biden’s economy is arguably stronger than any U.S. President’s economy in the last 20 years.
It seems SCOTUS is trying to thread the needle of an insane, impossible Trump demand: he wants absolute immunity for himself to escape prosecution, and he wants to prosecute Biden in vengeance should he win. I don’t think they want to allow either. But what rule prevents both?

People worry Donald Trump will manage to delay his trials until after the election and then order the DOJ to drop charges. But his trials could be in November or December. Even if he wins he won’t reassume the presidency until late next January, and by then he may be convicted.

As we hear more about Iran’s attack, this was the moment Donald Trump propelled Iran even closer to obtaining nuclear weapons. Pulling out of the Iran deal was one of the biggest long term mistakes a sitting president made, in history. Don’t forget the biggest takeaway:…
The plague of sexbots seems to have ended as suddenly as it began <knocks wood>.
A guy sitting on the aisle of the flight I was on went to sleep before takeoff and never moved. Even the flight attendants said, “What’s up with that guy?” For 3.5 hours, the middle- and window-seat passengers had to clamber over him to pee. He stood when we landed—praise Jesus!
Cliché update: phones no longer “ring off the hook,” they buzz off the table.
