“The percentage of Russian battlefield weaponry with #US or allied branded components is alarmingly and unacceptably high,” Daleep #Singh, the deputy national security adviser for international economics, said Tuesday. “Put your creativity and resources to work, know your customers, know their customers, and know the end users. Ensure that American firms are not unwitting cogs in Russia’s arsenal of autocracy.”

Good news for folks who enjoy AI embarrassing itself with nonsensical answers!

"Well, according to an interview at The Verge with Google CEO Sundar Pichai published earlier this week, just before criticism of the outputs really took off, these "hallucinations" are an "inherent feature" of AI large language models (LLM), which is what drives AI Overviews, and this feature "is still an unsolved problem.""

We may creep closer, rejoin CU etc but I can't see full membership again. So stupid and sad.
