I honestly believe all LLM results should come with a disclaimer reminding people that the thing doesn’t (and absolutely cannot) know any facts or do any reasoning; it is simply designed to *sound* like it knows facts and frequently sweeps some up accidentally in the process.

I really think many if not most of the LLM fail cases are people trying to use it as a search engine. It is the opposite of a search engine.

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes
A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.

Been listening to the Quantum series by Douglas Phillips, and I gotta say, its one of the best science fiction stories I've read in years. The pace is breakneck and the fiction part of the science is compelling. It sorta reminds me of Three Body Problem "Lite". Like... very "lite" but still great.

Well, I added all the relevant block lists and followed some lists. Am I doing this right?
