then they might stop using whatever LLM gave them that advice.

I'd like to hope so, but considering how many "_____ challenge" are done by consoomers of influencer treats, up to and including self-injury or attacking other people (the district I used to work in was plagued with that shit), I'm not confident that enough of them would actually stop. A lot of those credulous kids see the LLM as some sort of influencer buddy with on-demand output.

it will give useless advice

LLMs already give useless device, especially if they get their data from hellscapes like

"I listened to a podcast where some affluent guys talked about cum a lot."

Also a reminder: oil corporations researched this, knew about it decades ago, and deliberately lied about what they knew.

It's baffling to me too, but considering how much the post-DS9 "NuTrek" showrunners like to trot out Section 31 and give them more power and reach and even respectability among the protagonists each time they seem to show up (such as in Picard where for some reason Worf and Jurati were associated with them and they apparently "had all the best toys" in a way that sounded quirky and cool rather than an unaccountably self interested bunch of murderous criminals as seen in DS9), there's a fair amount of overlap it seems between the "black ops special forces shadowy adults in the room that make the hard decisions and get shit done" power fantasies of typical right wing entertainment and whatever Kurtzman keeps trying to push on the Trek franchise.

That's even more baffling because the average self-described conservative Trek fan seems to hate "NuTrek" anyway, even the stuff that I myself enjoy like Lower Decks, The Orville (yes I count that as Trek, it earned it), Prodigy, and Strange New Worlds.

The final 20 minutes or so of this video summarize how I feel about the Discovery/Picard's preoccupation with edgy grimdark gimmicks that seem to be trying to appeal to a crowd that nonetheless can't see past the "politicalness/wokeness" of having too many nonwhite nonmale characters and the like.

Because a two-stroke engine that is more polluting than a full size SUV many times over making a lot of noise and releasing a lot of byproduct poisons into the air is vastly preferable to using a fucking rake. I think some boomers and junior boomers like the fact that they're being noisy.

Bayesianism is more powerful than any of that old thinking. The dead should just adjust their priors in the next reality over where their quantum immortality continues.

This is a clear warning to anyone who thinks about delving into Bayesian statistics, imo.

The sheer fucking smug hubris of naming a boat that, and presumably conjuring up bullshit probability statistics for why they're too smart to follow best-practice safety procedures.

Had correct procedures been followed

The ruling class has no use for such things. They are adult children floating on clouds of unassailable privilege... until they aren't.

I have no idea. I can't speak for other people there. I'm just Hexbear and Hexbear has no in-house downvotes.

Yeah, those are other instances coping, seething, and malding.

Not Hexbear. There's no downvote function in Hexbear except the sort-of-joke use of this emoji:

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
