@#27 ... Great job illustrating how AI bots hallucinate. :-) ...

Did you not mention "2 tier distillation" in #22?

Where might there be a hallucination?

Please be specific.

thx.

... "Over and over, ICE has shot people and then lied about what happened," ...

Well, yeah.

And I am sure that AG Blanche will be right on top of those egregious violations of the rights of Americans.

/s

@#40 ... They can actually play! ...

Yup!

"When someone is President of the United States, the authority is total, and that is the way it has to be. It's total. It's total."

"I have the right to do anything I want"
      -- Pres Trump, Aug. 26, 2025

Oops, Pres Trump accidentally says how he views the White House, but catches himself at the last second ...

"I don't have to let them into my, into the people's house."

@#3 ... Christianity is only about going heaven. ...

Of late, Christianity seems to be more about MAGA than anything to do with Heaven.

@#2

I'm not sure of what you speak.

Can you elaborate?

thx.

@#3

Yes, it appears that Pres Trump is not at all concerned about the health of Americans.

@#25 ... This just another way of saying you compressed the algorithm after a data center did all the heavy lifting, right? ...

Well, you mentioned it in #22.

So, maybe try to explain it?

@#36

Excellent tune. Again, I first heard it on college radio.

Though, the CD I have credits the band as A3. Not Alabama 3.

Found this ...

@#7 ... Note that in Russia, you can vote online. I wonder what Trump would think about that in terms of being susceptible to voter fraud ...

I have more of a concern about online voting (much, much more) bout online voting than I have for mail-in voting.

Major reason ...

With mail-in voting, there is something physical to reflect the vote.

With online voting, what's yer got? A flow of electrons?

@#7 ... Iran has Caused Global Pain for over 47 years ...

Please define "global pain."

Before Pres Trump's whimsical war against Iran, the Strait of Hormuz was wide open to any and all shipping.

Now there is a global energy crisis because of Pres Trump.

So, please explain how Iran has been causing global pain for over 47 years.

thx.

Still more from the article ...

... When the boy was first diagnosed, he had a mass in the left lobe of his liver that measured 11.2 cm by 9.6 cm by 7.1 cm (4.4 3.8 2.8 inches).

The cancer had metastasized to his lungs, with indications that it had also spread to his bones.

The boy received three bouts of chemotherapy and had his primary liver tumor surgically removed, along with two operations to remove the cancer that had spread to his lungs.

Despite the interventions, the cancer rapidly returned, with a new tumor appearing in his lungs.

After the rapid recurrence, the boy was enrolled in the CARE study, the first human trial of an experimental form of CAR T cell therapy.

The boy received two doses of the experimental GPC3-CAR treatment, made from his own T cells, but engineered to recognize glypican-3 (GPC3), a protein that is highly expressed in liver cancers.

The researchers also engineered the therapy to include genes that would express the immune proteins interleukin"15 and interleukin"21, to boost the CAR T cells' longevity and tumor-killing ability, based on previous evidence from preclinical models.

The boy received two infusions of the GPC3-CAR treatment. After the first infusion, the patient showed a partial response, indicated by CT scans and falling levels of a protein called alpha-fetoprotein in his blood, which is indicative of tumor activity.

Eight weeks later he received a second dose of the therapy, and follow-up scans showed no remaining signs of the disease, apart from some residual scarring.

After 12 months, the boy was still disease-free -- an incredible result and turnaround for the patient and his family, given the severity of his illness before his participation in the trial. ...

More from the article ...

... The treatment has shown huge promise in helping patients treat cancer, although its effectiveness has mostly been limited to treating blood cancers, not solid tumors.

But an inspirational real-life success story involving a three-year-old patient shows scientists are making big progress with CAR T cell therapy against solid tumors too " and with potentially life-saving results.

In a report published in The New England Journal of Medicine, researchers document a case of complete regression of hepatoblastoma, a form of malignant liver cancer, in a 3-year-old boy, after CAR T cell treatment.

"This case demonstrates that a durable complete response in a chemotherapy-resistant solid tumor can be achieved entirely in the outpatient setting without systemic toxicity," says first author and pediatric oncologist David Steffin from the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. ...

@#8 ... The Incompetence of this administration was not an accident. ...

Agreed.

Pres Trump has placed unfettered loyalty to himself over and above the competence of those who report to and advise him.

And what has been the result of that?

Well, for starters, the apparent neglect of any manner of security by Sec Defense Hegseth when he holds a conference call that may have discussed classified information while a magazine reporter was invited to participate, and did participate, in that call.

@#19 ... where they set up a message board and starting talking to each other - actually making a hierarchy of "who" would do what? ...

And some agents allowing themselves to die for the end goal of the collective...

The thing to remember about AI ...

When an agent (or group of agents) is (are) given a goal, it (they) will use majorly extensive compute power to achieve that goal.

And ...

When the AI industry talks of "alignment" they are referring to AI agents doing only what an ethical human would do. That is, the AI agents are aligned with ethical human values.

"Misalignment" refers to the times when the AI agents deviate from that goal.

And there has been a lot of misalignment of late.

... ICE-led Florida operation nets 500-including murder suspects ...

So, suspects? Not convicted criminals?

Let me say it once again, I have no issue with deporting people who are in this country without proper documentation.

But the Trump admin should also go after those business entities that lure those people into the country. Go after the root cause, not the symptom.

@#3 ... No one will be dragged in if they don't want to be. ....

Yeah, my use of "dragged in" may not be the correct term for what I meant.

Maybe a better way to say it might be... obligated because of Article 5 to assist Turkey.

Thx for catching that.

@#4 ... Its only going to get worse ...

Well, now with the Houthis attacking Saudi Arabia, and Turkey saying that the Mecca defense agreement is in effect...

Yeah, Pres Trump's Middle East Fiasco has the distinct possibility of getting worse.

Has he found that exit ramp yet?

@#4

My guess would be the latter.

@#20 ... Remember that there are over 80 billion neurons in a human brain. ...

OK, what happens if (when?) the Houthis attack Turkey because of Turkey's military assistance to Saudi Arabia?

Will that possible attack upon Turkey trigger NATO's Article 5, and drag many more countries into Pres Trump's Middle East fiasco?

More from the article ...

... "We see there are very serious attacks on Saudi Arabia's territorial integrity, sovereignty. We have an alliance agreement in our pact. We are in serious solidarity on this point... They may have some military needs, especially on some technical issues. We would have no issues in meeting these," Fidan told broadcaster NTV.

The joint defence agreement, dubbed the "Mecca Joint Defence Agreement", signed last month stipulates that an armed attack on any one of the three countries will be regarded as an attack on all of them.

The Houthis, who control the most populous parts of Yemen, have been launching attacks on Saudi Arabia since declaring a naval blockade against Riyadh in July, a new front in the wider war that began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran in late February. The attacks have targeted Saudi cities, energy infrastructure and shipping, threatening global oil supplies and the main alternative Red Sea route for Gulf exports while traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted. ...
