      I just tried to have Gemini navigate to the nearest Starbucks and the POS found one 8hrs and 38mins away.

      Absolute trash.

    Ok, let me try listing words that ends in “um” that could be (even tangentially) considered food.

    • Plum
    • Gum
    • Chum
    • Rum
    • Alum
    • Rum, again
    • Sea People

    I think that’s all of them.

    This is so irresponsible, kids have access to tablets and search and might learn wrong things.

    Some “AI” LLMs resort to light hallucinations. And then ones like this straight-up gaslight you!

      Factual accuracy in LLMs is “an area of active research”, i.e. they haven’t the foggiest how to make them stop spouting nonsense.

        duckduckgo figured this out quite a while ago: just fucking summarize wikipedia articles and link to the precise section it lifted text from

        Because accuracy requires that you make a reasonable distinction between truth and fiction, and that requires context, meaning, understanding. Hell, full humans aren’t that great at this task. This isn’t a small problem, I don’t think you solve it without creating AGI.

        Reminds me of how the “1800 gallons for one burger” statistic uses annual rainfall to calculate that as if it was captured, stored, and used from our kitchen sinks.

          What’s that got to do with datacenters using evaporative cooling?

          Also if you’re curious cows drink water, 9-20 gallons a day, and in the typical 1-2 year lifespan, that amounts to 3,285 on the conservative side, or up to 14,000 gallons in hot climates, per cow. And depending on the cut, some 800 quarter pound patties, and using that conservative 1 year 9 gallons a day, that is about…

          4 gallons per burgers worth of meat. That total 3,000-14,000 gal/cow water usage is certainly an issue, especially in hot climates, but why make up bullshit?

            Because statistics like those often ignore the fact the water they’re calculating is inaccessible for other uses. They calculate the rainwater used to make the grass grow, water we don’t collect nor have available for other uses, but it makes the number higher and shocking. If you see “14,000 gallons of water per cow” you think that’s how much water we’ve “lost” when in reality, it’s a massive bucket of rainwater they’re drinking out of, not a hit to our irrigation or water treatment facilities.

            It’s a misleading statistic meant to shock and manipulate you into a specific way of thinking, a lot like your original comment. I don’t give a shit how much rainwater a cow drinks, I care about how much is being pulled from local irrigation. Rainwater is going to lay in the dirt and evaporate anyway so why is that being calculated? If the answer to how much water is being pulled from our infrastructure is nearly zero, that’s how many fucks I dedicate to it.

            Should datacenters be operating in silicon valley where water is already scarce? No. But people shouldn’t also be living in a fucking desert, overdrawing from the river that lets anyone live there, so maybe they should move. Not like they can’t afford to.
