All the 1985s in the Back to the Future trilogy are at the same point in time dimension 1 (1985, duh), but different points in time dimension 2.
The Delorean takes a shortcut through time dimension 3 (think the typical wormhole analogy of poking a hole through a folded piece of paper) to get between the various 1985s and the various 1955s and 2015s, and 1855 (it's obviously not using time dimension 1, since it "vanishes" at one point and reappears at another, or 2, since that wouldn't allow it to get to a different year).
(Of course this is utter nonsense because that's not how time travel works in Back to the Future, but it works as an analogy and it's less complicated than Avengers: Endgame).
Every single one of those scammers is making those claims, and worse, starting with calling their shit AI.
They're selling useless and harmful shit, they know they're selling useless and harmful shit, and they plan to run away with the money the second the bubble starts to burst, without a single care for the state they'll leave the internet and the economy in.
I'm sure you could run Eliza in the Atari...
LLM’s are not meant to do anything like playing a chess game
They're being sold as being able to play chess, though.
This is like drag racing an F1 car and a Camry
More like racing a Reliant Robin and an answering machine.
lizard that can spray blood from its eye, but nothing in the animal kingdom past or present has a human's innate ability for ranged attack
I don't know, a hawk plummeting from the sky at 190km/h onto something the size of a small rodent is kind of impressive, too, if you count the bird throwing itself as throwing...
Also in very short races (up to 100m) if the human is an olympic athlete, though mostly because momentum is a bitch and it takes time for the horse to accelerate all that mass, and by the time it's done the race is already over (it also probably helps that the athlete knows what they're doing while the horse is just along for the ride and wondering where it can get some grass).
in the unable-to-reason-effectively sense
That's all LLMs by definition.
They're probabilistic text generators, not AI. They're fundamentally incapable of reasoning in any way, shape or form.
They just take a text and produce the most probable word to follow it according to their training model, that's all.
What Musk's plan (using an LLM to regurgitate as much of its model as it can, expunging all references to Musk being a pedophile and whatnot from the resulting garbage, adding some racism and disinformation for good measure, and training a new model exclusively on that slop) will produce is a significantly more limited and prone to hallucinations model that occasionally spews racism and disinformation.
Most animals know humans are too much trouble to mess with.
Sure, you can kill one human. But next thing you know your whole species has gone extinct, or worse, has been domesticated into pocket yappy dogs that can't breathe properly.
In places where we've been around long enough staying away from humans has practically been bred into every surviving predator's instincts by now (which is what makes polar bears so terrifying, they're about the only dangerous predator that doesn't have this instinct yet, and probably never will, now that murdering whole species has become a bit of a bad look); anything that considered us prey and didn't learn not to simply doesn't exist anymore.
Wolves in particular (in the few places where they survive) definitely know not to mess with us, except maybe in the frozen depths of Canada, and so do most bears (again, with possible exceptions in the least populated bits of North America) except polar ones.
I'd never heard of it, but after reading about it it looks like basic depressive Hollywood drama slop with some anti-cochlear implants¹ and anti-metal music² propaganda and the usual “learn to be happy with the cards you're dealt” conformist bullshit³ mixed in, so no thanks, I think I'll pass, I'm already angry enough without having to suffer through this sort of shit.
1.– Sure, cochlear implants kind of suck when compared to working ears (though maybe not so much when compared to somewhat working ears with tinnitus), but someone born deaf won't be able to tell the difference, having nothing to compare, and at least they'll warn you when a car is honking for you to get out of its way (and, frankly, quite often at work I wish I could just unplug my ears and plug in some music, so they've got their good sides too).
But we weren't talking about cochlear implants; we were talking about CRISPR. We were talking about giving deaf people proper working ears. Nah, fuck that. If we can do that we can do better. Give everyone who wants it the ability to hear as well as, say, a dog. I, and lots of people, would pay good money for that.
2.– Seriously, what the fuck. Have we learnt nothing since the eighties satanic panic? American religiosity and so-called morals are a fucking cancer on global culture. Keep that fucking shit to yourselves, if you enjoy wallowing in each other's misery that much.
3.– Fuck. That. Fuck the cards I'm dealt. I'll make my own fucking cards. Play them how I want. And if I have to, I'll make my own fucking game (creative commons licence, of course, in case anyone else is into it).

I want my browser to render web pages as fast as possible and using as few resources as possible, while complying with W3C standards.
For anything else I might want, there's extensions.
This AI bullshit is costing me RAM, CPU cycles, and electricity without giving me anything of value in return. It's malware, plain and simple.
