This is the attention economy. The politics of personality. Trump, Farage, Polanski, Mamdani. Hate them or love them, their ability to dominate the narrative and social media is winning out over traditional means. Trump’s particular approach is, of course, the most egregious. By saturating the market to the nth degree, it’s hard to even remember […]

When we’re talking about grounding, we mean fact-checking the hallucinations of planet destroying robots and tech bros. If you want a non-stupid opening line, when models accept they don’t know something, they ground results in an attempt to fact check themselves. Happy now? TL;DR LLMs don’t search or store sources or individual URLs; they generate […]
