Yeah, I did that about 20 months ago (wonder why?) and the problem is, there it sits but I forget where on my LAN I stored it, how to access it - I suppose, were I absolutely desperate, I could launch a several hours research project and find it, maybe even figure out how to access (I believe I stored README with it about how to do all that), but... why? And, even worse, one why? might be to see how articles have drifted over time, which I guarantee they have and continue to do, Wikipedia is actually quite fluid, but does knowing how current articles compare to the ones you archived in 2024 do anything of greater value for you than the negative value of being pissed off at how the world is lying to itself (same as it ever has...)?
Vastly oversimplifying: They're not intelligent, they're pattern matchers - when you give them "tricks" they find the best match in their training set, but if you're the least bit creative you'll just get matches to other similar tricks which usually are different.
Put another way: I have a couple of hand saws, I can cut limbs with them, even cut down whole trees, but a chainsaw is faster. Just because a chainsaw can also cut off my leg doesn't mean it's an uncontrollable dangerous evil tool, it means you need to be more careful with it than a handsaw. It also means something that would be 20 minutes of exhausting saw work can be done in 20 seconds (or less) with a properly setup chainsaw.
The crazy town express is a circus show to divert attention from the real shifts of wealth and power that are being orchestrated. The clowns in the spotlight do whatever it takes to keep the party in power so the railroad leaving trickle-down station can proceed straight to Oligarch hell (for everyone but the Oligarchs.)
A magnetic field is an external signal - the Earth's magnetic field is actually incredibly weak...
10x better performance than GNSS ... positioning accuracy of 1 nautical mile. Cheap old school handheld GPS out in the woods was accurate better than 10 feet most of the time, so what in this performance is 10x better? 10x more resistant to jamming? Seems like it should be completely impervious to jamming. 1 nm accuracy is useful, but hardly better performance.
The Bible is a bit like the internet - it's large and obscure enough that if you dig long enough, you can find just about anything you want to "back up" any point of view you want.
unless consumers put forth an unrealistic, disproportionate amount of time to compare prices.
It kind of shocks me that services like camel camel camel didn't get more popular over the past 20 years. They've been out there, they're not hard to use, but it seems like people would rather blunder through life uninformed than take a minute to research before acting. This applies at retail, and the voting booth.
Disclosure is how you kill stuff like this. Who's going to patronize a store they know is charging them double what the next guy in line pays? This is 'murica, only poor people who can't afford to get to the discount stores are supposed to be overpaying.
You've just got to get them where they're easily purchased by people that want them... It's not about the desirability of your toenail clippings, it's more about marketing / market development.
Even more true for (other) human written code for me... That "WTF would you do that?" which you're afraid will offend feelings if you even start to discuss it. At least when LLMs get their feelings hurt you can reboot them.
Read the e-mail, then consider that Epstein moved throughout that "level" of society, from Stephen Hawking, Woody Allen, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates through Marvin Minsky, Prince Andrew, Ariane de Rothschild, Brock Pierce...

To help me narrow down what you are looking for, could you tell me if you need this for a mathematical logic puzzle, a programming algorithm, or a creative writing project?
Those context questions it asked at the end are a prompt to you to feed it dimensional guidance into its vector fields for more specifically applicable responses to your vague and open ended example.
I've had them do this for various things, nowhere near the 20% of the time they've called "the hallucination rate" but definitely once in a while if it doesn't know it will guess.
Which, to be fair, is what I've been doing for 40+ years in computer programming. When you have the ability to check if you've guessed right or wrong in a couple of seconds or even minutes, but researching it to "be sure" (and sometimes still get it wrong) before trying might take hours it's only natural / efficient to guess a few times before giving up and RTFM.
