At least hit the shiny repost button if you're going to do nothing else. This should not stand.

Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. They proved it with math.

Even with perfect training data and unlimited computing power, AI models will still confidently tell you things that are completely false. This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level.

And their own numbers are brutal. OpenAI's o1 reasoning model hallucinates 16% of the time. Their newer o3 model? 33%. Their newest o4-mini? 48%. Nearly half of what their most recent model tells you could be fabricated. The "smarter" models are actually getting worse at telling the truth.

Here's why it can't be fixed. Language models work by predicting the next word based on probability. When they hit something uncertain, they don't pause. They don't flag it. They guess. And they guess with complete confidence, because that's exactly what they were trained to do.

The researchers looked at the 10 biggest AI benchmarks used to measure how good these models are. 9 out of 10 give the same score for saying "I don't know" as for giving a completely wrong answer: zero points. The entire testing system literally punishes honesty and rewards guessing.

So the AI learned the optimal strategy: always guess. Never admit uncertainty. Sound confident even when you're making it up.

OpenAI's proposed fix? Have ChatGPT say "I don't know" when it's unsure. Their own math shows this would mean roughly 30% of your questions get no answer. Imagine asking ChatGPT something three times out of ten and getting "I'm not confident enough to respond." Users would leave overnight. So the fix exists, but it would kill the product.

This isn't just OpenAI's problem. DeepMind and Tsinghua University independently reached the same conclusion. Three of the world's top AI labs, working separately, all agree: this is permanent.

seriously, people need to stop noticing these little details. i can't take it anymore, i feel like i'm going to explode.

From all I can gather (and including statements from queer men in sports etc.), skip is from all I can gather the Heated Rivalry ship that resonates the most in general with queer men who've spent any length of time in the closet. Which, you know, is important. Massively so.

That doesn't oblige anyone to like the ship, or like Scott and Kip as characters, let alone prefer them to hollanov, etc.! And it definitely doesn't mean that all queer men prefer skip!

(Honestly, both ships are awesome in my view, and while I do relate more to skip, they're both canon and they're both wonderful, so *shrugs*.)

But I've seen a couple of people on here describe skip as "heteronormative" (or lay huge and disproportionate emphasis on the fact that some het men like the ship too), and all I can think is that it's because Robbie GK is average height rather than actively tall, or because Kip is out and not a hockey player and so doesn't do the same stressed-performative-masculinity as those who are?! And... oh my. Oh my, no, that does not make Scott and Kip's relationship in the least heteronormative, and it is not the queer empowerment we need right now. (Speaking, I note, as a not-very-gender-conforming trans man who aspires to emotional intelligence and is an inch or two below Robbie GK's height, and if anyone thinks any of that makes me less of a man, they can *absolutely* fuck off.)
