So true, we are assigning value judgements such as truth and falsehood to a system that has no way of judging such matters.

@tg9541 I think the stumbling block will be wider acceptance and use. I personally like algorithmic fabrications but trying to get reporters to use such a term may be difficult.

@tg9541 What about fabrications?

@tg9541 What do you think would be a better term to use?

💻 **Rates Of Hallucination In AI Models From Google, OpenAI On The Rise**

"_In a recent study, it was found that two recent OpenAI models, o3 and 04-mini, hallucinated in 33% and 48% of answers, respectively, according to The Times of London. These percentages are more than double those of previous models._"

Morning all.

@jgg @elaterite So far I have not had any problems retaining WiFi connection with Mint XFCE.

Thank you both (@elaterite and @jgg) very much for the kind words of advice.

I was really struggling with Windows 10 on my desktop. It is an old machine and I found increasingly the simplest tasks like having more than one window open at a time would crash it. The final straw came when I just could not get it to keep WiFi connection for more than a second if it worked at all. I am unable to connect with a cable due to the desktop being on a completely different floor and area of the house. With the fact that Microsoft kept sending me messages that they finishing support for Windows 10 in October and 'encouraging' to buy a new computer I decided to move to Linux Mint XFCE. I have used Linux Mint before over ten years ago and feel comfortable with it.

Finally made the migration over to Linux.

I am trying to change my very old, cheap, and decrepit desktop over from Windows to Linux. I am not tech-savvy and this is taking an inordinate amount of time. Especially as I cannot keep the desktop from loosing internet connection every second.

I remember seeing a television documentary by historian David Olusoga, in which he said that the compensation was worth billions in today's money. If my memory is not mistaken, I think he may have said 2 or 3 billion pounds, which tallies with your calculation.
