Please don’t post shit from this fascist apologist here, I deleted my Twitter / X account to avoid his brain farts.

A very bad idea on so many levels.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking he can read! Most of the evidence is to the contrary.

Sorry but it has to be said “never judge a book by its cover”

I disagree with the use of the term AI for all of these slightly glorified search engines. LLM are not intelligent in any form, merely statistical guessing machines which frequently make the incorrect guess / association. Being forced upon us as a result of gullible investors seeking recompense.
