I've seen this hyped a lot on Reddit, and its main contributing base seems to be on a Discord channel, but have yet to see any scholarly discussion behind it. Is there a reason the creator hasn&#…

In what ways would you say its awkward? I'm really curious about its performance in languages that might not have shown up in its training data much. I will say, I've tried using it with a d…

You seem to have described my home schooling experience to a T. It really was a wonderful way to learn and interact with expert adults in my community. I had a lot of good role models and mentors that…

But then you open yourself up entirely to being manipulated by the website owners. The Russian government has enough resources to artificially push their SEO way higher than it should be, and it'…

This is the real reason they received so few donations. I've only ever donated to them through Brave's Attention Tokens [1], so I never realized they use BitPay, but it really is intrusive. …

Untrue! I've been monitoring you for some years now, and just last month got up enough evidence to bring to the FCC, so that they could revoke your human-impersonation license. Now I have your wr…
