Two AI links

Two from Tara Calishain: Claude is growing a tomato plant:

Via. (It's interesting clicking through that "autoncorp.com/biodome" link and read through a bit of the transcript)

And: Alaska's court system built an AI chatbot. It didn't go smoothly. They started with 91 questions, which were too hard to grade, so they went down to 16...

So Sato said the team landed on a refined list of just 16 test questions, featuring “some questions that AVA had answered incorrectly, some that were complicated, and some that were pretty basic questions that we think AVA may be asked frequently.”

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
