I received email from Chris (probably) for
"Our CodeProject Community Survey 2024. Less than a minute."
All of the out links in the email were blocked for me because they all had link trackers through DoubleClick and developermedia.com, so I'm already well over the promised minute on this.

Probably you need to raise this with the admins - try here: Bugs and Suggestions[^] or reply to Chris directly via the email address the link came from.
I get the same if I click (mostly accidentally) on one of the ads on CP.

I get the same. I can read the articles fine but the top 2 items - presumably ads, will never open.

I have a Samsung smart TV that does everything I need it to except for watching CBS tv shows. Using the same method I use on my PC/browser, I open the internet app (which is Samsung's browser), go to cbs.com, click the show and episode I want to watch and it should start playing. Instead it displays a "optimizing your viewing experience" message ad infinitum. This happens during high-volume times (6-9pm) as well as late night/early morning times. I have no streaming services to further test with. I can watch YouTube videos whether in the same browser or in the YouTube app, both with no issue. My solution was to use the CBS app on my phone and share its screen with the tv. That works fine. This seems odd since (I think) twice the amount of traffic would be going back and forth on my home's Wi-Fi network.
Any ideas as to what might be going on here?

My best idea as to what's going on is that the CBS stream is triggering some undocumented "feature" in the television's firmware.
Maybe there is a firmware update for the TV that you could try.

I'd try talking to your local Samsung tech support first. And CBS tech support second if they aren't helpful. I'm guessing it's not going to be "just you" with the problem ...
Have you tried turning your house off and back on again?

Interesting article and I get the issue...but it took the author a very long time to communicate the problem.
* AI egines (LLMs) have a reproducible bug that causes them to babble incessantly
* AI Companies either a) don't care or b) have no one with enough knowledge to understand that the bug could be severe (could cause AI to do something it shouldn't)
(or don't care and don't understand it)
This seems like the normal situation that I see from every company these days.

They have a much larger problem than this bug - did they get permission to use published works to train their systems? I'm running into more authors who are putting disclaimers on the front of their eBooks that if the company want's to train using their work, they need to contact the author for approval and potentially payment. I'm waiting for companies like Amazon, with their huge Kindle Unlimited system, and library publishers to start filing copyright infringement cases against the LLM companies.

Except - of course - any LLM that Amazon decides to train on all those ebooks (especially the Kindle Unlimited). And many of those ebooks (especially Kindle Unlimited) are probably generated by LLM, so it's The Circle of Life...

Quote: ...train on all those ebooks ... generated by LLM...
Reminds me of the old "Wiffenpoof Operation."
The Wiffenpoof is a mythical bird that flies in ever decreasing circles until it flies up its own a$$ and disappears.
Which, oddly enough, sounds like the phenomenon described in the cited article.

I'm betting the net result of that will be that the LLMs start putting disclaimers in their responses to say that if anyone wants to use the response to train an LLM, they should contact the company for approval and potentially payment.
Because of course the "AI" companies aren't going to start reading and respecting those disclaimers; they're just going to point their scraping tools at the book, and blindly shovel it all into their models.

Perhaps Limited Learning Model is a more appropriate term, upon reading the article.
Or also Lagging behind in Leap towards Maturity.

What I read into this:
If you order a LLM to babble, it will babble. Took them a long time to say nothing.
Nothing to see here...

I use DuckDuckGo exclusively and it is down right now (since 4:21am Eastern) -- see image of their tweet[^] or see the actual tweet at: x.com[^]
I also just tried to do an Image search from Edge and got this error from Bing[^].
What's up with Search Engines?
