A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Uh, but we don't? Not really. People use the wrong words all the time and each person's definition (i.e., encoding) is slightly different. We mimic phrases and structures we've heard to sound smarter and forge on with uncertain statements because frequently they go unchallenged or simply aren't important.
We're more structurally complex than a LLM, but we fool ourselves in thinking we're somehow uniquely thoughtful and reliable.
