There’s nothing in the article, the Register article or any references that claim there is actual pollution of data.

It’s based on speculation made years ago.

They have reversed that. They wouldn’t have been able to get high enough numbers, given that basically all illegal immigrants are working.

Model Y production line used to build robotaxis. Nothing to see here

A convection oven works exactly the same way.

Technically a Pi is a single chip computer but they’re called an SBC because they replaced stuff like a Motorola 68HC11.

You’ll have no end of problems and won’t know whether it’s a hardware or software problem.

The Wilcot solution was adopted by Morris for the 1933 range, except the cheapest car in the range, the Minor. In essence, on either side of the car, was a block of three lights looking very like a traffic light with red, amber and green elements. The idea was that the colour or combination of the colours, showing on one or both sides would guide adjacent traffic of the intentions of the Morris.

Combinations were more complex, inevitably, than just flashing orange lights. Ahead of a need to indicate, the driver would activate the system which would start with both left and right amber lights flashing, like modern hazard warning lights, meaning “Caution”, ahead of an indication being given.

The system was controlled by a knob inside the car, with a spring based plunger acting as a time control for any selection. To indicate turning right, the driver would then request the system to show red on the right and green on the left in a way that almost echoes nautical practice; bearing right was amber on the right and green on the left.

Morris threw a tantrum after the MoT approved the use of blinkers on rival Ford cars and vowed never to install them. The MoT ordered the Wicot “traffic robots” removed and so Lucas trafficators were used exclusively in the UK until Morris was sold to Pressed Metal Holdings in the 1950s (in Australia and Canada blinkers were required by law).

The thousands of unusable traffic robots were used in the foundation for a new factory in Cowley. Also used were used brake pads and used sump oil to keep the dust down.

Printers.

It was basically a bribe because she’d already lost her marbles by then, so she couldn’t do any actual lobbying.

The test is for lateral thinking, not for mathematics.

The question is not even worded ambiguously. It was just written very poorly.

Its not a Maths test. Its a comprehension test.

This is not a Maths test. Its a comprehension test for a test card series, the question is titled “Reasonableness”.

Yesterday, there was the usual slew of artificial computer-generated news stories on YouTube about GM closing down all factories in north america (happens about once a month).

Well I typed in “is GM closing down in the US” in Google and the Gemini generated answer said “Yes, GM has announced the closure of all plants in the US” and put up those fake YT videos as reference…

I’m sure the major AI services will try and fix this with some slop site detection routines.

They already do this through data determination routines in LLMs, unfortunately they suffer from the same type of infection as the data itself.

Why bother learning anything when you can get the answer in a fraction of a second ?

$100 billion and the electricity consumption of France seems a tad pricey to save a few minutes looking in a book…

You don’t need AI to do that…

Trump issues an executive order overruling the court decision…

Loyalist.

Looks like the sub-editing software queries were left in the published story.

It was on Volkswagen Transporter pick ups in the 1960s, in response to German taxes on imported US chicken.

Actually, full sized pick ups are not liable to light truck tariffs, but they have no market outside of the US.
