....to shreds it is, then.

These cultists are trying to ride the 80 year old wave created by the atom bomb.

XOR cleartext once with a key you get ciphertext. XOR the ciphertext with the same key you get the original cleartext. At its core this is the way the old DES cipher works.

A bit of useful trivia: If you XOR any number with itself, you get all zeros. You can see this in practice when an assembly programmer XOR's a register with itself to clear it out.

They don't even need propaganda right now.

He wants hair trigger retaliation. His strategy consists of sucker punches, which is why he has to obfuscate his plans. When we deliberate, he loses ground.

Maybe you're right. Maybe it's Markov chains all the way down.

The only way I can think to test this would be to "poison" the training data with faulty arithmetic to see if it is just recalling precedent or actually implementing an algorithm.

.... Chemotherapy targets rapidly dividing cells (e.g. cancer, hair, blood). Most cells in your body don't undergo mitosis often enough to be affected by chemo.

Besides, we have a host of other treatments for cancer:

radiation therapy

targeted therapy

immunotherapy

hormonal therapy

angiogenisis inhibitors

synthetic lethality

...to name a few categories.

So, no this is not even "basically" how we treat cancer.

This reminds me of learning a shortcut in math class but also knowing that the lesson didn't cover that particular method. So, I use the shortcut to get the answer on a multiple choice question, but I use method from the lesson when asked to show my work. (e.g. Pascal's Pyramid vs Binomial Expansion).

It might not seem like a shortcut for us, but something about this LLM's training makes it easier to use heuristics. That's actually a pretty big deal for a machine to choose fuzzy logic over algorithms when it knows that the teacher wants it to use the algorithm.

Yeah, but this reminds me of a line from game of thrones:

"If you're a famous smuggler, you're doing it wrong."

But what do they connotate?
