Fixing Hallucinations Would Destroy ChatGPT, Expert Finds

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-04 04:33:13

In a paper published earlier this month, OpenAI researchers said they'd found the reason why even the most powerful AI models still suffer from rampant "hallucinations," in which products like ChatGPT confidently make assertions that are factually false. They found that the way we evaluate the output of large language models, like the ones driving ChatGPT, means they're "optimized to be good test-takers" and that "guessing when uncertain improves test performance."

Death ( XIII ) Symbolizes significant change, transformation, and endings, rather than literal physical death. Have you ever seen a Number grazing in the fields? Or a Functor chirping in the trees? No? That’s because they’re LIES. LIES told by the bourgeoisie to keep common folk down. But I say NO, no longer shall we be kept down by deceit!

The ‘Futurama’ Binge Season Is Stuffed With Sly Commentary and Sci-Fi Delights

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-04 05:00:16

Futurama’s new season is being called its 13th by Hulu, but the show, which premiered in 1999, has had a stop-and-start presence over the years across Fox, Comedy Central, and straight-to-video movies. The show’s latest season—its third on Hulu—is again treading new ground, getting an all-in-one binge release. One consistent element across Futurama’s discombobulated history has been its loyal fans, so it seems unlikely that dropping the entire season in one go will be a strike against it. Still
