  1. If you take a look at the graph in the article "Number of monthly active Facebook users worldwide as of 1st quarter 2023" you can see that the platform is not attracting the sort of growth it did in the previous decade, then compared that with the user counts in the article "The Rise and Fall of MySpace".

  2. These LLM style AI systems are just massive statistical filters, they have no reasoning abilities or the ability to compute anything, and that includes reaching logical conclusions such as truth or falsehood. They may output the truth, but they have no way of knowing if it is the truth. They can also output deluded nonsense so it would be foolish to view them as some form of infalible oracle. LLM style AI systems are still under development, and they are not perfect. They can be fooled by misleading or inaccurate information, and they can sometimes make mistakes. It is important to remember that LLM style AI systems are tools, and like any tool, they can be used for good or for bad. It is up to us to use them responsibly and to be aware of their limitations.
