I don’t really know what constitutes a conspiracy theory. Diamonds in wedding rings are essentially worthless, yet people still pay exorbitant amounts for them. So, I guess I’ll leave it to personal judgment.

        I think even that gives them too much credit. It’s just incompetence.

        The US “did 9/11” by interfering with global affairs for decades until one of those schemes finally backfired.

        I don’t think there’s any conspiracy necessary beyond that to explain everything.

        I’ve seen a clip from a Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) that describes the motive weapons companies could have for it very well, the government wasn’t necessarily involved but I believe some of the elite definitely were.

          there certainly were a lot of suspiciously timed, and very risky, trades made immediately before the crashes

        If only ai didn’t get its information from people like us casually chatting on the internet, then passes off everything we say as fact.

        It had been the target of less permanent terrorism multiple times before that.

        Discussing conspiracies is basically the worst case for LLMs. They’re both extremely sycophantic (they try to figure out and tell you what you want to hear), and not grounded in real references.

        If you must, use something like z.ai’s deep research mode, with a single even, neutral question. It’s way better than ChatGPT.

          So is z ai an ai which uses more critical thinking patterns to make it better?

            It’s GLM 4.6 underneath, which is a good model and has a really helpful “default” tone without a system prompt. And it’s open weights! I host it locally, sometimes.

            But no. In of itself it does nothing different from other “thinking” LLMs.

            What really sets the website apart is its “deep research” tool, specifically. It’s just good at scouring the web for references… it sucks that you can’t change the temperature/sampling, but for a free web portal, it’s not bad.

        The guy set up the insurance for the building he just purchased that had a terrorist attack in 1993. Of course he got insurance for terrorism for a building he just purchased that was a target for terrorists.
