To be fair, I suppose it is a well known fact that countries do indeed fit inside itself

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Country usually has coastal waters. For example 12 miles off the coast of the US is still considered part of the US. So the country US does not fit into its physical land area.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 4 hours ago

Maybe op asked for physical area to fit into country, since we're specifying ambiguous part

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 6 hours ago

Not mine though.

Also Switzerland (if you make it fit).

That population comment has me wondering now. Is there a country that the population of itself, would NOT fit inside.

Like maybe some random tiny European country that produces a lot of people who go live in larger nearby countries, but they are still citizens of their home land. Then for some reason, they all decide to return home.

I guess my point is, that actually could very easily be true, that there is a country that can't actually contain its population.

I mean, physically, probably not, but more like, with houses and shit.

Best response by far. Very human-like.

True but at least it just sounds sarcastic rather than astonished that this obvious fact is actually true.

My Mistral conversation was very similar to yours too so I won't bother posting it

DeepSeek does a little better with this.

That's a fun play on words! Since "the size of Japan" is just a measure of its own land area, it's trivially true that Japan fits perfectly inside itself — just like any country or shape fits perfectly inside its own boundaries. It’s a tautology, but it sounds like a clever riddle at first listen. Nice one!

[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 hours ago

they both are nondeterministic

both could give the right answer and then the wrong answer with the same prompt

one try is not enough to say one model is better than the other

[–] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 14 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Alright it's been fun boys, pack it up, this shit is over

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

Still more intelligent that most CEOs

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

still don't fully understand why Japan matches Japan so closely.

my fuckin sides! has anyone seen my sides??

[–] itkovian@lemmy.world 23 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Truly the technology of the future. /s

[–] NostraDavid@programming.dev 3 points 7 hours ago

This isn't the thinking version, which is a LOT better than the instant model. I don't use the instant version any more, due to hallucinations.

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 6 hours ago

More like the present, unless you want to lose your job, capiche?

China is the most populous country, as well as one of the largest, to achieve this.

This was made possible due to the One China Policy (1 China = 1 China).

Hey at least the profit margin benefited from a few lay offs and market speculation over this

A river was damned with water and turned millions of gallons of water in order to give us this digital abomination

Mad love for that word play

I'm rotating Russia incorrectly. you can't stop me.

[–] 18107@aussie.zone 11 points 15 hours ago (2 children)
[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

Yeah rotate in 3D and it’ll fit nearly infinitely inside its outline. Unless you count the thickness of the crust or something topographical.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

Russia goes where?

that's right! in the Japan hole!

[–] Pothetato@lemmy.world 18 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You can tell because of the way it is

[–] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

That's pretty neat!
