you, lost in obscurantist semantics: the great question of our time is whether or not the Large Language Model is conscious

me, an incisive pragmatist: if the Large Language Model can't be tried at The Hague, I'm not sure why it matters

Again, only Republicans are allowed to ever talk this way about Real Folkz living in America, & there is a straight line through the last 160+ years of American history to "Non-Christians are not Real Americans & don't belong here."

I'm not sure I understand how the AI is "100% wrong" if it was correct within 200 miles and 5 years. That seems like a pretty good result to me, if the options were "anywhere at any time" or even just "anywhere since the invention of photography."

Keeping my data secure is a big one for me. And not falling into methods that produce lots of errors I can't diagnose. And all the ethical stuff around environmental and social impacts.

Vast scale of overseas human remains held in UK museums decried by MPs and experts Exclusive: Guardian study finds UK museums hold more than 260,000 items of remains, often in sacrilegious ways

A damning report on the continued retention of human remains, especially from colonial contexts (nb Ireland virtually never included in these lists), in British museums. Rather amazed to see the 6th largest collection is in β€˜Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon’?!? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

The uranium we bombed into the ground so deeply that it is, by all reports, completely inaccessible to Iran itself? Due to the giant bombs the US dropped on the facilities housing it just last June? Now we're going to go dig it up and "secure" it? πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

You're absolutely rightβ€”that was not a command post, that was an elementary school. Those were not military leadersβ€”they were schoolchildren. I said the opposite, and that's on me.

The latest publication from the ISS Archaeological Project, a study of the usage of scientific/experimental facility usage from 2009-2024. This work was inspired by questions from Sierra Space, who wanted to know what facilities Orbital Reef would need.

How different parts of a site are used is a fundamental archaeological question. But the fact that we did this in response to a problem faced by space station designers proves the ability of archaeology to contribute to improving lives in our contemporary society.
