Had a thought... If an LLM could weigh the credibility of sources of input, would that help with truth/hallucinations? It seems like the problem is they pull in input indiscriminately.
I don't see a good way to determine 'credibility' in an automated way. What I think I'm talking about is an opinionated LLM. Which I don't necessarily have a problem with. Sarcasm detection could be difficult.
I feel like this is a thing that should be obvious to people closer to the problem. Hm.
'we have Taters.' Video of Taters the cat, chasing a laser dot, streamed via laser from the Psyche probe to Earth, from 31 million km away.
The video, featuring a cat named Taters, was sent back from nearly 19 million miles away by NASA’s laser communications demonstration, marking a historic milestone. NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications experiment beamed an ultra-high definition streaming video on December 11 from a record-set
In 1974, two very significant things happened, if you are a fan of 99% invisible. Number one is that 99pi host Roman Mars was born. And number two, The Power Broker by Robert Caro was published.

And the pilot of the plane I flew in. And thousands of other people at the airport and on the plane, any of which could have attacked me. And all the people that prepared and served my breakfast, and the entire food supply chain—any of them could have poisoned me. When I landed here, I trusted thousands more people: at the airport, on the road, in this building, in this room. And that was all before 10:30 this morning...
