French people will see a 10-letter word and pronounce it as a single syllable. No language is particularly good in this respect, English is just the most common target of criticism for this

It's not an LLM, but Stockfish does use AI under the hood and has been since 2020. Stockfish uses a classical alpha-beta search strategy (if I recall correctly) combined with a neural network for smarter pruning.
There are some engines of comparable strength that are primarily neural-network based. lc0
comes to mind. lc0
placed 2nd in the Top Chess Engine Championships in 9 out of the past 10 seasons. By comparison, Stockfish is currently on a 10-season win streak in the TCEC.
One of my mates generated an entire website using Gemini. It was a React web app that tracks inventory for trading card dealers. It actually did come out functional and well-polished. That being said, the AI really struggled with several aspects of the project that humans would not:
- It left database secrets in the code
- The design of the website meant that it was impossible to operate securely
- The quality of the code itself was hot garbage—unreadable and undocumented nonsense that somehow still worked
- It did not break the code into multiple files. It piled everything into a single file
This seems strange to me. If everyone has accounts with the Bank of Palestine, then why did it turn into everyone demanding cash versus just paying each other with bank transfers through the Bank of Palestine?
But seeing that the Israelis are now trying to just starve the Palestinians out of Gaza, this just sounds like inflation with extra steps.
I think one other factor that people have not considered is the monitor. To run all games at 4K maximum settings, yes, this type of PC might be required. But at lower resolutions, such as 1080p or 1440p, this is overkill and one would be able to run any game as maximum settings even with a computer costing a third as much.
What is "the app" that they are talking about?
Not surprised. It's the Labour party but they ditched the labour dude a few years ago and replaced him with a liberal so it's not shocking that they're now losing their grip on voters who want a labour party and not a liberal party. And there's already a liberal party for those who wanted a liberal.
So what have we got now? If you wanted a conservative in office, why vote for the fake conservatives when you can vote for the real deal? If you wanted a liberal, why not vote for the actual liberal party (LibDem)? If you want far-right reactionary policies, why vote for minor placation when you vote for the man who will promise you everything? And if you want (god forbid) a socialist or labour leader, well, the leader of the so-called Labour Party has just told you to piss off.
And for those who don't: Plato, a Greek philosopher, was putatively asked by a student while teaching at the Academy what the definition of a man (human) was. Plato responded that a man is a "featherless biped".
Diogenes, another Greek philosopher and infamous quick-wit, caught wind of this and thought that was the dumbest thing ever, so he gate-crashed one of Plato's lectures and pulled out a chicken which had all of its feathers plucked out and said "Behold, a man!".
Euclid's first postulate: Give two points, there exists exactly one straight line that includes both of them.
Important distinction: A triangle is a three-sided polygon. For example, a quarter-circle is not a triangle, despite being a three-sided shape.
There are some languages that use strictly phonetic writing systems. Cherokee (indigenous American language) and Esperanto (constructed international auxiliary language) come to mind, but I'm sure there are others. None of the major world languages (English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Russian, Standard Chinese) are perfectly phonetic.
