Don’t. Life’s too short.

If you’re enjoying it but it’s a hard read take a break and try again. If you’re just not enjoying it sack it.

The links to Wikipedia are actual citations to real sources

I read an interesting article a few years ago about the Wikipedia source problem. It did a dive into how sources that seem legitimate on Wikipedia can and up citing sources that are less so. They were able to trace back the citations to Wikipedia itself. So no, they’re not always real sources.

LLMs basically just generate something that looks like the link to a credible source which might support what it’s said. It doesn’t care if its “source” actually supports what it says.

Which is why you read the page it has linked for you as a source. Unless you’re trying to say it full on generates a page for you.

What I mean is I use it to get the links to those sources. Like when you use Wikipedia as a jumping off point. I don’t think we’re at the point yet where we have the problem Wikipedia sometimes has that the sources used sometimes themselves just cite Wikipedia.

I’ve found bing ai is quite good if you ask for the source after anything it spits out.

Thanks. With all the articles I thought I’d somehow missed him winning the nomination and we were on the actual election campaign.

Your elections are normally in the autumn aren’t they?

The time lines of America elections confuse me a bit. Is he campaigning for the election itself or is this still the point where his party (the democrats?) are choosing their candidates?

I didn’t know it was a competition as to whose government shit the bed worse. I guess making it one has to do with the inferiority complex you get from knowing all your ancestors were criminals.

That first panel was extremely relatable as a Brit.

X for doubt.

There’s no way someone survives something as big as a butt plug moving from their arse to their chest at near the speed of sound. You might as well put their internal organs though a juicer and see if they survive.

Couple of stand alone books:

The Paper Menagerie (and other stories)

The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Stardust

Johnathan Strange and Mr Norel

Couple of series:

Discworld (start with guards guards and follow a reading order guide)

The Culture

Malazan Book of the Fallen (be warned this is big and complex, but my fucking god is it rewarding. Especially on a second read through)

Children of Time

Final Architecture

A lot of Indian cooking is vegetarian, not vegan. Ghee is very often used.

The third one can be inferred as “I didn’t say the words” as I inferred it.

Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?
