The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

How is an LLM going to be able to decide which crackpot theories are crackpot theories and which are true? So, yeah, I think it will be hard.

That's exactly what science is all about – verifiability versus guesses and crackpot misconceptions. I've not looked into it deeply, but Perplexity's responses to my queries have included footnotes that cited respected sources across the millennia. While I might weight one or another of these 'experts' by popular consensus differently, I've yet to see any sourced from idiotic social media kooks.
