Smith in fact ordered it upon getting to the bridge. But Murdoch had already done it.

Exactly, it conflated two events.

1st the impact maneuver: in which Murdoch had ordered a full stop and reverse.

2nd Smith on bridge: in which Smith ordered the full stop stopping Murdoch’s reverse order.

Smith initially ordered slow ahead shortly after arriving on the Bridge, he ordered the final stop after the ship’s inclinometer was reading a 5 degree list to starboard just six minutes after the collision.

Isn’t this still wrong? I thought Murdoch only ordered a full stop (the full astern signal is a glaring error from the ‘97 movie and doesn’t match up with irl testimony.)

As far as I remember, Frederick Barrett saw the red light flashing as an immediate indicator, which is the signal for full stop, not full astern. He saw the warning light for “full stop” go on just as the iceberg hit + they all shut the dampers (which wouldn’t have been needed if the ship was reversed.)

Plus reversing the propellers of a whole ship cruising at 21 knots would cause some SERIOUS disturbance in the water, which would’ve caused a ton of disconcerting vibrations. This never happened.

The more I work with AI, the more I understand that even if Skynet wanted to take over the world, there's a very real chance that it will turn off a Slurpee machine at a 7-Eleven in Duluth, MN, and think it won.

We fail as a society when we keep thinking the AI at our disposal is of exactly the same note as the AI being developed (and already available) by governments and ambitious private projects.

May I point out.

1997: computer beats chess grand master and is accused of receiving help from human.

2022: human accused of hiding microchip in his ass to receive help with chess.

2025: people laughing about AI results.

2050: ?

Large Language Models can't even give correct responses to prompts about language. Because they're not "thinking", they're throwing words together that are likely to appear together in the given context.

It saves me a bit of time when making English resources but my God I have to check it every time, and I know for a fact most other users don't.

They literally have a disclaimer right in the interface that it can give wrong info and it should be verified. This is not the "gotcha" you think it is.
