That is true, but it didn't say there were no test runs of a model with that name, it said there isn't a model with that name.
It doesn't make any distinction between those two statements other than word frequencies in the context of the training data and prompt. The idea that they *mean* different things and one is true and the other is not just doesn't enter the calculation. There's nowhere for it to go in the calculation.

Poll results: Around 80% of Palestinians in the West Bank want the group’s armed wing to maintain its weapons (~70% of Palestinians in the occupied territory overall).
"Among Palestinians, support for Hamas has increased over the last two years."
The West Bank is governed by the Palestinian Authority, dominated by Hamas’s secular rival, Fatah.

I’m so proud.
Our 18yo played in a school drama production of The Wave tonight, with his entire class.
They were given a lot of room for creative decisions, and made good use of it. The mood was oppressive and scary, and the relevance to current events was crystal clear.
Some people apparently complained that their interpretation was too radical. I told him that if art doesn’t hurt at least a bit, it’s just decoration.
They came up with a different ending. They introduced a meta level, with a team of directors that goes full Nazi.
They included a less-than-subtle allusion to an incident a couple of years ago, when some classmates threw a Nazi salute “for fun”. (Those classmates were gone from the school by the end of the week.) They picked an uncomfortably indecisive ending.
All that takes creative courage.
Cleaning up after the play, I spotted a copy of @pluralistic ’s Little Brother backstage.
The kids are alright.

2 Muslim doctors have been performing illegal surgeries on young girls in Minnesota as part of “Shia Muslim religious practice”
“Security camera footage, some taped phone conversations and the testimony from 2 very young girls who say they were taken to that clinic where they experienced unthinkable pain”
They were performing Female Genital Mutilation, “it will be in that hearing when more will be presented about religion, culture, tradition versus federal law that prohibits the cutting of the genitals of young girls to keep them from being sexually active later in life.”
“They do have a very strong religious belief.”
The doctors say the surgery was a “Shia Muslim religious practice”
‘“Shia Muslim religious practice” or rite-of-passage ritual’"

Big news! @altbot has a new home 🎉So I drove 8 hours to deliver the server, and then it traveled ANOTHER 9 hours all the way to Chicago to live with my friends at Nulled LLC (small colo/VPS company). They've been incredibly generous with pricing to support the project, and also insanely patient with all my first-time-colo "stupid questions" lol
Why did I need to move it? Well Altbot generates hundreds of alt-texts daily, but also... my home network was getting targeted with DDoS attacks (not fun). This gives way better uptime, protection, and room to scale.
The journey has been honestly... crazy. it all started as a scrappy project, moved to a locally hosted LLM on my home server, and now it's properly colocated at a REAL datacenter!
Ongoing cost is ~$100/month for colo, plus future hardware upgrades (will need to get a 2nd GPU soon!). If you value what altbot does for fediverse accessibility and want to help keep it running:

I don't drive, but shortly after living in NYC for a few years I was aware of how much a "parking ticket" cost, at home in Cleveland for the holidays I listened with mounting horror as my aunt complained about how my cousin kept getting parking tickets at CASE. "I don't know what's wrong with her. She has 40 parking tickets."
My face went white. That would be... tens of thousands of dollars!

Watch | Texas Man Targeted Over Criticism of Israel
A Texas resident, Adam, was swatted after posting online criticisms of Israel, prompting a visit from the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Bell County Sheriff’s Office.
An officer reportedly told him: “We’re here because of the comments you made online about Israel.”
Adam questioned the intrusion, asking: “Is it really free speech when Israel can effectively send your local police to your door for posts they don’t like?”

in reply to David Quintero • • •Yes, but more of what?
The trouble with this kind of second-hand, context-free quote is that the speaker is not around to stop people twisting their words. I’m not accusing you of doing that, but honestly I hate the whole cottage industry of mining famous people’s utterances and dredging up fragments of speech or writing that they never intended to be treated as epigrams as if they are some kind of distillation of wisdom.
