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.

Just a quick hello from beautiful Argentinian Patagonia! I discovered the most beautiful view I have ever seen here, but I can't share it with you, until I get the conditions I am hoping for! In the meantime, here are some images from past adventures in Patagonia. 😊

Mount St. Helens has been quiet for 123 years. At 12:36 p.m., the silence ends. A sonic boom echoes across southwest Washington.
KGW Radio's Mike Beard circles the peak 20 min. later. “There is no question at all that the volcanic activity has begun,” he reports live on air.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Today's mountain pic. Denali, Alaska. Highest point in North America. Took this snap when I summited in 2018, looking back down the summit ridge.
Just don't call it Mt. McKinley.
