   @thomasfuchs we’ve just got to poison a few more rivers, fuel a few more wars, cook the planet a little bit more, etc etc etc and these “hallucinations” will just shake out on their own, lmao

     @thomasfuchs I read somewhere recently that when you're using an LLM, often you're unknowingly instructing it to tell you a story.

     This matches the fact pattern and also, like, what the fuck?

     @thomasfuchs well, that's actually not an LLM but an extract from a resulte from a now defunct steampunk wiki :-)

     @mackensen @thomasfuchs oh, because you launch over the Russian Empire which is so vast and empty, that you don't give a fuck if something falls there?

     @thomasfuchs to be fairs if the Dual Monarchy *did* have a space program that's a reasonable spot for a launch site.

     @thomasfuchs OMG, I felt sure that must have been photoshopped when I first saw it, but I just typed exactly the same thing into Google and got exactly the same.

     Thank you for reminding me why I no longer use Google for web searches.

     @thomasfuchs This is already fixed, and the summary now even notes , that any information about austrian-hungarian space program comes from sci-fi. Yet the answer is AI generated (different every time you change the query slightly)

     I wonder how they fix issues like this.

     Lora retraining? Some form of RAG, with a database of "fixes" that have higher priority than internet data? It's an interesting technical question.
