No. Default is when the bond issuer doesn’t pay interest.

The US government can let the bonds default by not paying. This can be by not issuing new debt (or getting the fed to print more money).

It doesn’t need to be an Iranian terrorist attack. It just needs to look like one.

Yes. Morally it’s much better to get bribed in money than children.

Also From 1989 up until 2003, Epstein donated more than $139,000 to Democratic federal candidates and committees and over $18,000 to Republican candidates and groups

Correct. 89% to Democrats and 11% to Republicans

But an issue with the warrant meant they could not leave with the items

Then don’t open the safe if you can’t take it’s contents.

Definitely don’t leave the contents unguarded for 3 days and allow the suspects lawyers to remove evidence from the crime scene.

Power is bought in many different ways.

First part yes. Second part no.

Jeffrey Epstein donated to several Democrats throughout 1990s and early 2000s - ABC News

I know, I’ll use the “may I help you-riff”.

So I married an axe murderer is my guilty pleasure.

Epstein donated mainly to the Democrats.

Perhaps I should have been more explicit about the subject

Wikipedia and Google are enemies of academic papers just as much as LLMs.

They are not enemies of learning. Neither are libraries.

I am hesitant to say that an LLM is a good source of learning because it bullshits regularly in ways that are undetectable.

I’m pretty sure there is already a cryptographic protocol that can do this

The only thing I dislike of his is that fucking island.

We agree. My original comment was

Published papers do not site Wikipedia or Google in their references.

And did you use it to access adult material?

And LLMs don’t link to anything.

What Google and Microsoft do to make links is infer a link comparing the LLM output to their search engine.

Unfortunately under this scenario the fascists will still be able to cancel the midterms.

There is a big difference. Wikipedia and Google link back to the original source of information. You can follow that and quote an academically legitimate source.

You can’t follow the link from an LLM back to the original source information.

You can find information from a library. What you can’t do is write a quote in a paper and source it as “my local library”.

LLMs are worse than Google, Wikipedia and libraries because they are unable to cite journal, volume, issue and page number.
