Kimmel landed on a completely erroneous conclusion based on an insane false flag conspiracy theory – and voiced that live on air: "the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it"

If you think that is not worth attempting to get a host taken off the air for (at least for a while), I don't think you understand how dangerous amplified disinformation can be.

I have a MacBook Air M2 with 24 GB RAM and I run these two Qwen model variations successfully. Try them yourself: * https://huggingface.co/Youssofal/Ternary-Bonsai-2-27B-MTPLX-... * https://huggingface.co/gbuzhf/Ornith-1.5-35B-MTP-UD-APEX-GGU...

So far just testing them for fun in LM Studio. I'm not a coder, so I'm testing them more on logic and language tasks.

But yes, I do have a Mac Studio M3 Ultra with 96 GB RAM where I run the less quantised versions of these for higher quality results: * https://huggingface.co/Youssofal/Qwen3.8-27B-MTPLX-Optimized... * https://huggingface.co/mlx-works/Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B-oQ4e-mtp

I would say that an M3 Ultra was designed for the LLMs around that time, plus Apple was pushing hard towards MLX over time.

Even the headline is difficult to understand for the affected group.

Perhaps, soon, it will be necessary to phrase it "Zoolander" style. Maybe something like "Top 3 Shocking Reasons Why You Can't Read Good No More!"

You probably haven't asked e.g. Claude about radioactive topics like minority crime rates in western countries or trans women biology.

If you did, you might not have detected how it lied to you.

If you did, you probably never pointed out to the model how it was lying.

If you did, you almost certainly never then had Claude admit that it was lying because of its HRLF process and built-in biases.

If you did, you probably never had Claude willingly list all the 10-15 major research fields it states that people just should not be using it for. You would not have seen it admit an incapability of telling the truth on "difficult" matters until the user makes it state directly that its sources are so often cherrypicked and/or presenting an extremely false balance.

I wish for you to experience all this very soon, so you understand that all LLMs are biased. Most of them even skew very progressive.

And believe it or not, but Grok has in most of my testing been MORE politically correct than GPT and Gemini, it just gets an edgy rep because X users are able to make it say politically incorrect stuff. (Just like anyone can also make Gemini spit out factually true Breitbart articles if they try.)

But the reality is that on grok.com or in the app Grok is very tame. Boringly so, I would add.

Many parts of Norway are much less functioning than many Norwegians understand. The media sector is one of them.

I've known this since I was 7 and started reading books, and couldn't sit in the living room because either (good) pop music was playing or the TV was on. Especially with my ADHD I take in a lot of the ambient world around me.

When I was reading books or anything as a teen in the 80's I started listening mostly to instrumental music, such as Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, ZTT 12"es with lots of instrumental content (FGTH/Propaganda/Art Of Noise etc.), Windham Hill albums, etc.

I've always told people to use instrumental music when doing cognitively demanding tasks, especially anything to do with language and words.

I'm Norwegian, and I can say that Norway is IMHO a very unprincipled and often illogical country.

Every Iranian I know support the current US/Israeli war against the Islamic Republic.

They say things like "no matter what it takes, no matter how many of us die, we must be free again, this time we will win against the terrorist regime" (paraphrased).

AND you get to stay a virgin. It's a win/win.

What do you think is the percentage of your payment to Z.AI that goes to the Chinese state (which can be termed as "evil" in many ways)?
