Hypothetically if someone was accused of having sex with goats by over 30 different people and regularly denied it, but also dropped very public hints about how much he liked to have sex with goats for decades, and ran a goat pageant to find the best looking goats, and was best friends with someone who got convicted of fucking goats and trafficking goats to friends all over the world who also liked to fuck goats, and his name was in the classified goat fucker chronicles 
5,000 times, and he wished other goat fuckers well in prison, what do you think the odds are that person is also a goat fucker?

Chevron's Gorgon CCS project is the biggest and β€˜best’ carbon and capture project in the world.

Gas processed there emits 36x more than the CO2 stored.

Even computer games can be reading, some of them have more words than a novel.

I think it just lets you install an LLM locally should you want, it doesn't install one for you. So no harm leaving it there.

In USA, sales to poor and middle class are well down, so either people have woken up (unlikely) or the economy is in very bad shape.

Apparently we've recently crossed the 50% line, where now over half of posts and blogs are written by AI.

I've heard LLMs described as automated mansplaining, so this doesn't surprise as much as it might.
BBC needs to fix itself though
