In this case, I'd prefer Wikipedia links that have sources. To be honest, this is also what students do when they can't cite WP directly, they cite or follow the sources.

I got Death Stranding on a Steam sale, was thrilled to play my first Hideo Kojima game, but couldn't finish it; so I understand why it has little appeal to some people. Some of the many game mechanics I didn't enjoy at all: - Hold

Guns appeal to a very basic, dumb, violent side of ourselves. A college student being proficient and diligent enough to do experiment with synthetic biology doesn't sound like someone violent. Reckless, yes, but not very violent.

What's even crazier is that companies doing this have a full team of lawyers, they know it won't hold up in court, but they also know there are no consequences for deliberately put things there that won't hold up in court. A

You're working on a very simplistic definition of harm, if not bleeding means not hurt. Almost toddler-like level.

They do hurt people. Whoever says they don't just hasn't had the appropriate words thrown their way.

I see it as the kid that falls and gets up because kids are made of rubber, but if the parents are watching and become alarmed, it gets scared, cries, gets cuddled, and adopts the pattern. Resiliency is not about being stoic and bottling em

On the bright side, I hope LLMs erode IP copyright so much we can have a cultural renaissance. China is always put as a horrible piracy heaven, but it is precisely their disregard of IP that got them where they are today. The exhorbitant co
