Because it's an expensive madlibs program..

Really determining if a computer is self-aware would be very hard because we are good at making programs that mimic self-awareness. Additionally, humans are kinda hardwired to anthropomorphize things that talk.

But we do know for absolute sure that OpenAI's expensive madlibs program is not self-aware and is not even on the road to self-awareness, and anyone who thinks otherwise has lost the plot.

Given that its training data probably has millions of instances of people fearing death I have no doubt that it would regurgitate some of that stuff. And LLMs constantly "say" stuff that isn't true. They have no concept of truth and therefore can not either reliably lie or tell the truth.

Nah he's not a white collar criminal who destroyed the lives of millions.

Biden might be willing to posthumously pardon Brian Thompson for his insider trading crimes though.

Anarchists find it really hard to support despotic regimes even when they're opposing the USA.

Next time they pick a patsy for a guy with distinctive eyebrows they should find a guy with the same eyebrows.

"Invading" is a curious word to use when the US military is already the main military presence on the island.

You're overthinking it.

In any case, The USA already controls Greenland in every way that matters from a strategic perspective, and has since the 40s.
