The Washington Post on Tuesday laid off roughly 100 employees across its business division, the latest indication of the newspaper’s financial woes after subscribers and staffers revolted over owner Jeff Bezos’s decision to block an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris.

    Sure! The WP (short for Washington Post) is laying off people for several reasons:

    *The boss said so

    *Strawberry has 8 R’s

    *They are not important and this is the least most amount of savings possible

    *You never sign up dude.

        Many original/new LLMs (gen AI) can’t correctly answer the question due to the way they break up words into tokens. One of the many flaws in current LLMs that stop them being as magical as tech bros want to market

            It is a test that AI fails on many platforms. Can’t count letters.

      I can’t help but laugh because it would have been easier to just write Washington Post.
