I don’t see where in the article he “admits” what the headline claims. Let me know when Satya Nadella stops talking 100% bullshit, because that will be real news.

- Comment on VPN firm says it didn’t know customers had lifetime subscriptions, cancels them 5 weeks ago:
I just have the regular subscription. I wouldn’t pay for the lifetime one. I want to support them but I am not confident enough that they’ll be around for the long term since video hosting is a hard business to make money from.

- Comment on Lies, Damned Lies, and LLMs: AI is a Con 5 weeks ago:
The LLM isn’t trained to be reliable, it’s trained to be confident.
And it’s promoted by business people with the exact same skill set. I would argue though that there’s nothing wrong with what LLMs are doing: they’re doing what they were trained to do. The con is in how it’s being sold to us as a source of knowledge or understanding akin to a search engine.

Good question.
- Comment on Trans women should use toilets based on biological sex, Phillipson says 1 month ago:
I was just pointing out that whether you use women’s bathrooms or men’s, the same point applies: this concern about the genitals of the person in the next stall is a weird non-problem cooked up by bigots, yet the politicians scramble to appease them.
