Economies of scale, isn't it? They are used in billions of devices.

It's the new age of illiteracy. Few people seem to care about the fact that words have meaning. I cannot be the only one noticing a downward trend here and I'm talking about real life and not some social media slop discussions.

On this note, thank you for pointing it out.

What kind of argument is that?

"I have not used anything else but DeepSeek is definitely better than anything else."

Ok? How are you judging that? Am I missing something?

This is absolutely true and a main reason why you will see a lot of Pikachu faces in r/de after a German election. This is true for most subreddits which are touching on topics that in some form or another promote tribalism.

Such topics tend to naturally create opinionated flame wars, politics just being the most obvious example, but the subreddit mods often take a side even though the subreddit may advertise itself as the general hub for the topic.

It's a posterboy project for the EU and for all its insane complexities and French people, it's working! I am watching Belugas land here in Hamburg almost every day :)

You don’t need to copy-paste the same comment in every reply. It seems like agenda pushing more than contributing.

Your assumption is that LLMs will ever leave this uncanny valley.

Maybe unforeseen breakthroughs and different architectures are achieved. Given LLM fundamental shortcomings grounded in mathematics and information theory, I highly doubt they will and we will always need to deal with these issues in some capacity.

Look at all the valuable software products that Fable 5.1 has produced since yesterday!

LLMs are not intelligent and don't actually understand the concept of a bicycle. Parrots also don't understand human language but they're really good at pretending otherwise.

If correctness would matter anymore, people wouldn't be using LLMs in the first place.

This is a passion topic of mine and I am a German citizen living in Germany. I am absolutely furious ever since I visited Asia. Public restrooms here are rare, mostly broken, disgusting and health hazards in all of Germany no matter where you go. I'd guess that about 15% of accessible toilets outside your home are OK experiences.

Every non-EU citizen should be aware of what to expect in Germany, and even worse in France, Italy or Greece. Shithole is a perfect description - it is just unbelievable how barbarically bad we are at public restrooms in comparison to anything you find across developed Asian countries.

Even beyond just cleanliness, you always have harassing bathroom bouncers in private AND public facilities in Germany, basically acting as highway robbers to steal your money without ever actually cleaning anything. At best they look up from a phone and nod when you pay your urine toll.

The only half usable bathrooms are from corporations like Sanifair which are making a business out of uncontrollable, basic human bodily functions. China doesn't need to invest in psyops against Germany or the EU at all if we are perfectly able to make ourselves look bad in comparison. Just use Occams razor.

And of course the major issue is vandalism and destruction by a huge population of junkies, homeless, aggressive (male) youths etc. on top of anti-social behavior, hegemonially pushed by American individualism ever since WW2. I guess this is the point where you can accuse me of injecting ideas that could originate from Chinese psyops? In the end I want a society that cares for its fellow citizens.
