A serious question for Sam Stone on Factual Errors

Yes, but both parts taste like chicken.

With that username I have to take you at your word.

I’d like to continue this discussion of the various kinds of animal proteins.

Maybe we should schedule a Meatup.

Chicken of the sea.

That was the name of my grandfather’s boat. I can still remember him identifying himself on his CB radio in his heavy Yiddish accent.

Yep chunk light mermaid ready to eat

(you can tell the what’s in a can by the picture on the label right?)

It’s not cannibalism because you only eat the bottom half.

Looks like Sam has turned yet another thread into the Sam_Stone show. Not that I’ve actually read any of his posts. But clearly some people have, though I’m still not sure why they bother…

Par for the course, including everyone thinking that gosh, maybe this time they’ll get through to him.

I did really love this gem by him in the ATMB thread about AI.

So the onus is on the poster to fact-check the LLM output before posting it, just asthey are supposed to fact-check themselves before posting. I don’t see a problem there. Don’t post wrong stuff. Do your homework.

Just 5-star haute cuisine irony there.

I knew he was doing it, and thanks to the power of “ignore” was able to continue on reading the thread. But too many people once again tried to think there is reasoning or just bad information going on. Thankfully, the other thread is ALSO in the Pit, so I called him out.

Hopefully others will take the hint.

Of course this is about Sam’s factual errors, employing the shooting the messenger fallacy, first to the cites I made and then to apply it to me, was really pitiful and a factual error.

But then, it is good to notice that he shows to all that he is a wanker x2.

Oh, I don’t think I’ll get through to him. Other people read the threads, including those who don’t post. ETA: And this is an area with a whole lot of ignorance out there, some of it in the minds of people who are capable of learning.

It’s a nice sentiment, but if he posts 50 pieces of garbage in a thread, 49 of them are because people are falling all over themselves to prove somebody wrong on the internet.

First of all, thank you for sharing that ATMB post, because that is truly hilarious.

Second of all, this is exactly the problem. When I see a Sam post, I just stop reading the thread because it will be dead for a day or two while people beat their head against a wall.

Over in Hunter land, Sam is upset that people aren’t trusting his cite.

No, Sam it’s not the cite that people don’t trust. It’s the person posting the cite.

I really liked this part,

Yeah, ticks those boxes for you . . . but notice he in no way, IMHO, justified the ticking.

He’s Hunter Biden. He had a laptop. What more could you possibly need?

Sentences were increased for:

  • Having a laptop (10000000%).

In a world where we have to live according to our beliefs, I truly wish the mods had held firm in punishing Sam for his kids misdeeds.

Sadly, we don’t live in such a world…
