” …’tain’t necessarily so… ”
(Where’s a good performance of Porgy and Bess when you need it?)
Alan Woody has a good take on the soi-disant “reality-based” community, as the Loony Left Moonbat Brigade is starting to call itself. Read “‘Reality-Based’ WTF?” and come on back. I’ll wait.

OK, back now?
It’s ironic to see/hear LLMs refer to being “reality-based” since so much of what they stand, er, lay about (or rant, scream and throw hissy fits) for is decideddly unreal. Reality-based? Like theLLM “pacifist” who was arrested recently for threatening to blow up the White House as an anti-war protest? Now, talk about a walking, talking contradiction. Or how about the female “scientist” at Harvard who says she was made physically ill from hearing Lawrence Summers suggest discussing someof the scientific evidence that fewer women in maths and the sciences might just be based in biological differences? No contradiction in her behavior, now, was there? Or how about the central thesis of Loony Left Moonbattery, that your “reality” can be different to my “reality”—that reality is essentially nothing but a set of opinions?
Now that’s unreal. But then, you can probably recite a longer litany of unreal opinions LLMs cite as “reality” yourself.
*heh*
But all this begs the question What is real?
LLMs make the faith assertion that reality is opinion-based and their opinions are the only “true reality.” OK, it’s easy to make an assertion. I could assert that I am the King of America. Will that exempt me from paying caesar on April 15?
