Reply to comment by Starrylands in TIL: WW1 Armistice Day was Nov 11th, fighting was to cease at 11:00 AM. An American solider charged a German machine gun nest with 16 mins left, and died at 10:59 AM. The last soldier to die in WWI. by wats6831

Even if true, it was irrelevant to this case, and most cases. Many more soldiers got injured or died in these hours than in the previous days of actual war. Even if half the soldiers knew, the number should drop by half, not increase.

Reply to comment by NikoKun in The CEO of OpenAI had dropped hints that GPT-4, due in a few months, is such an upgrade from GPT-3 that it may seem to have passed The Turing Test by lughnasadh

Using the Turing Test for this was always nonsense, as it never had anything to do with intelligence, but matching a human perception of what machines can't or won't do. And that critically includes mistakes.

Make the machine make typos, and scores go up.

There's a reason Alan Turing called it the "imitation game" and never claimed it measures intelligence.

In my eyes, it measures human credulity.

Reply to comment by Scottland83 in TIL about Operation Bernhard. During WWII, Germany attempted to bring about the collapse of the British economy by forging ≈£130 million in British bank notes. The notes are considered among the most perfect counterfeits ever produced, and are very difficult to differentiate from legitimate notes. by rkadeYT

Don't tell me what to do! You're not my real mom!

But seriously, do think about it. Recent resurgence makes it clear they'd be happy to try at Holocaust again, and it's predictable they'd be slightly more tactical about it.

Imagine if Nazis delayed hating Jews for a couple years, just enough to trap more nuclear physicists to work with Heisenberg.
