    This is an 8 hour documentary. I&amp;#39;ve been putting off watching it. You&amp;#39;d think it must be all filler. You&amp;#39;d be wrong.

    Addressed to Twitter but: I worry for the people who rely on LLMs to fact-check; They aren&amp;#39;t all-knowing, nor even especially clever. At best, they go by the information available to the public, same as anyone else, no more - Usually with a delay. They also have access to the same misinformation. This is not an anti-AI post.
