I saw someone compare AI to asbestos, in that people thought it was this amazing new material and put it in everything whether it needed it or not, but then realized too late that it was incredibly harmful. Do asbestos and AI both have a place? Yes. Do they need to be in everything out there? No.

LLM model is fairly well known to have trouble with negation.
Sort of expected, since a single "no" token can get missed easily during network propagation.

Oh damn.... "Besides 14 is old enough to make your own decisions"..... Oh damn. There seems to be nobody who's able to make Trump understand this is not something one should say in anyway. How is it that there are not more Republicans complaining about this attitude of his???
The president of the United States declares that no one cares about Epstein's child abuse and that, in his opinion, the abuse of 14-year-olds is not a crime because they can make their own decisions. This sounds suspiciously like an excuse from a child molester.
