Interesting. I'm sure the police do it for crimes they actually care about to be honest. I suspect they just wheel this excuse out from time to time when they are under-resourced.

I read Surely You're Joking Mr Feynman last year and thought "Wow, he really writes exactly as he speaks!" before realising it's one big transcription of recorded interviews

I thought a MWh battery might be ~shipping container size, or something impractical like that. But with a reasonable-to-low density estimate it turns out to be roughly 3,300 litres, or a cube with 1.5m sides. Not terrible!

…so the heuristic GPT-5 relies on is “if I get quizzed about how many letters are in a berry word, the answer is probably 3”

The LLM sees a token for “blue” then “berry” but it can’t see the individual letters. So it presumably has to infer what they are from its training data. I think it gets this wrong because GPT-4 famously thought “strawberry” has two “r”s, and this fact is likely in GPT-5’s training data…
