It's excellent story-telling, a very well-written piece of prose.

Yes. "hallucinate" implies "it's an unintended problem, there's little to be done about it". "confabulate" implies the LLM has been designed to do that, which is true. These types of neural network AI are designed to produce output that pleases its trainers, who don't care (and don't...

Welcome! The question I'm sure interests us all the most is: Looking at the pictures of helicopters here in this discussion, do you think that's what you might have seen that night? Is it possible? If not, why not?

I can see where this is going: "Our private retrieval team has recovered some UFO parts. We're not disclosing the location because we don't want the government to get it." And then they can sell scrap metal as "genuine UFO parts" to the rich folks who'd otherwise buy NFTs with their money...

Do these "scientists" think volcanoes are holes in the ground that you can fly through? and geologically stable enough to support underground infrastructure?

this report has the characteristic that the sound of low-flying jets makes people look at the sky who usually don't, and also makes it a "special" occasion that provides a context for other unfamiliar (if mundane) observations.

UFOlogists don't need any samples to get excited.

"And hopefully not commit a felony" seems a somewhat dodgy standard to live by, no?

Was it the JREF who was supposed to provide them, or did "Yahweh" want to bring his own? I can understand the JREF being nervous if the cult leader wanted armed cultists to attend the experiment.

What the quote means is that we took what we learned from researching macro-organisms (what is a cell etc.) and applied it to look for micro-organisms. If there were micro-organisms that are unlike anything that has evolved to be visible with the naked eye, we might miss them. I have to say it...

From the OP: This time, the team recovered the clumps of hair and sent them to a laboratory for Mitochondrial DNA analysis. They were found to be a 99.9% match to the leopard Panthera Pardus. The laboratory has requested to remain anonymous. Note that this time, they reportly pinned it down to...

I quoted the context for you in my previous post. @RTM said, "is this flap fizzling?" @Z.W. Wolf said, "flaps have been fizzling"—this generalizes RTM's observation to UFO flaps in general—"since the late 1940s"—this is the information. Wolf takes RTMs observation about this flap and puts it in...

because it did not actually happen while the pilots were there you're interpreting a statement to make it fit what you want instead of making the statements fit each other and because people do that, statements are useless without data

This is true:
