Lol, you could read more about North Korean history if you actually cared, but yeah, it's just "my theory." Enjoy your US-approved propaganda

The historical context of the last few decades is way too broad to account for this situation?

So what? The Holocaust was also three generations ago and it's still a powerful shared experience for modern Jews. And the US also conducts military exercises right off their border. I really don't find it hard to understand why that would unify the North Korean people

North Korea's ideology is all about standing firm after a devastating war where the US killed 1/4 of their population, and then also imposed decades of devastating sanctions. That shared experience unites a country

FFS, those of us who have been sounding the alarm aren't just luddites. The problem is LLMs DO NOT "UNDERSTAND" ANYTHING.

LLMs are statistical MODELS OF LANGUAGE. They are not "reading" what you write any more than autocomplete does.

Hallucinations are BAKED INTO THE TECH.

Fixing what isn't broken for something less functional is the key to Administrative success. My boss last summer even ordered me to use ChatGPT to create handouts for my class. It didn't work at all, but what mattered is that my boss felt very capable and productive in the moment
