on fighting talk just now, one panellist claimed they were “world class” at knowing when a minute had passed so rick edwards started a timer and turned to the other panellists.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Morning. So @rickedwards1.bsky.social watched Liverpool become champions in a takeaway in Euston yesterday afternoon. When have you watched great sporting occasions in 'less than ideal' circumstances?
We're also talking baby food pouches, school uniforms and NHS winter figures @bbc5live.bsky.social

It is quite surprising that there is a sequel to Escape Plan (Stallone/Arnie prison break vehicle). But not just that - there is an ESCAPE PLAN 3.
Surely no-one has voluntarily watched all three of these films??
WRONG.
I HAVE.
