These countries whose diplomats were shot now have the right to defend themselves, what in Israeli terms means invade the entire country

That’s going to be great fun when the AI bubble pops and the subscription prices go up exponentially.

On the other hand, there have been other opinions about education that say it should be about making or researching something. Give a student a goal and let them figure it out using chatbots or whatever.

Technically even 1950s computer chess is classified as AI.

13 months of 4 weeks + new year’s day (+leap day) actually fits perfectly.

Like the cliché goes: when it works, we don’t call it AI anymore.

That’s how we ended up with 12 months of varying length in a year and it’s a mess.

Historically AI always got much better. Usually after the field collapsed in an AI winter and several years went by in search for a new technique to then repeat the hype cycle. Tech bros want it to get better without that winter stage though.

And if Trump pulls USA out, the rest of the world will see this as America losing yet another war. It’ll be seen as weak despite all that hardware, troops and bravado. That’ll undermine its negotiation position against China and encourage others groups to just ignore Trump when he threatens someone, like Panama.

But it’s unthinkable for these leaders to change the policies that gave them the power and wealth they desire, so they’re gonna run with it until it falls apart, no matter the cost for everyone else.

IIRC they counted the bones in their fingers using their thumb and that gives 12. The first sundial was around the equator and there is always light for half a day, so half a day becomes 12 hours.

To count large numbers often one hand was used to count using 5 fingers and the other to count the bones, so you get 5x12 for 60 minutes.

And it’s always used to harass a certain group, making that group nervous and causing things to happen so people from that targeted group can be arrested. That in turn is of course the proof they need to say the system is working.

Meanwhile the rest of the world continues to negotiate and make deals with each other to operate without the USA.

LLM are not going to be the future. The tech companies know it and are working on reasoning models that can look up stuff to fact check themselves. These are slower, use more power and are still a work in progress.
