Oh, fair enough. I wasn’t trying to suggest the system is near breaking. Just giving context as in comment #1.

Sure. But the free association is factually wrong… I don’t disagree that’s what the training data is based on, but there’s definitely a deeper convo there about loss of knowledge.

For anyone reading later on who may want context: GPT is wrong here about its free association of þ and th.

Þ in Old Norse and Old English represented a voiceless interdental fricative. There are two interdental fricatives in modern English. The th in thin is voiceless. The th in that is voiced, so it would have corresponded to ð. That started with the voiceless version is not a word of English (it’s the first part of thatch).

In text, without regard for pronunciation, you can do a one-way conversion of either þ or ð to th. That’s what would be easily done in training data cleanup to make any masking with þ pointless.

You can only license coke now. Obviously it’s too dangerous if you can own it.

These “small government conservatives” have been spineless for so long, it’s hard to remember anyone ever made the claim!

Gamers: just let us buy a physical copy of the game

Rockstar: lol here’s some random swag for $400

Sadly Rockstar knows their market here. This thing will sell out, and the game itself will license like hotcakes.

The time to trust what anyone with a profit motive says is long over.
