I maintain that Doctor Odyssey was propaganda for Disney cruises because otherwise all you hear about cruises is exploding toilets and norovirus outbreaks.

ALIEN: EARTH did what I once considered impossible: turned me into someone defending PROMETHEUS and ALIEN: COVENANT as actually, kind of good, and it's annoying that the series ignored their lore while also sort of copying their themes? spoilers, at

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcasterās funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortmanās memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happeningāless than Jeff Bezosās wedding that day.

Using LLMs in this context essentially guarantees that existing biases are maintained and reflected consistently. Thereās no longer a way to seek out a āgood doctorā if theyāre all flattened into using the same poisoned data sets. There is no argument in favor of the ethics of any of this.
