I have prompted Google Gemini (with Nano Banana engine) to generate the image of historical Jesus by using scientific data on him and ignoring iconography
Here, we see a typical wandering preacher from Galilee of the first years AD. This is a plausible image of how the real Jesus might look like

Any computer touchers familiar with the origin story of UUIDs/GUIDs?
In particular I'm curious how we ended up with the weird format of 32 bits, 2x 16 bits, 8 bytes rather than the two obvious formats (uint32[4] or uint8[16]). And the C struct format doesn't align with the typical hex printing (8-4-4-4-12 hex digits)
My best guess is that it's somehow related to the version 1 GUID format where you'd have { MAC address, version nibble, timestamp} but neither the st…

An LLM generates a statistically typical response.
If you ask an LLM whether the world is round, it generates what would be a typical response to the question of whether the world is round. (It will probably be correct, because the typical answer to that question is the correct one.)
If you ask an LLM to provide examples of its own bias, it will generate what would be a typical response to a request to provide examples of bias.
In neither case is the LLM sharing any knowledge or insight other than what is typical.
