  • I’m not entirely sure this is what you’re after, but “reddit” makes it a lot easier to fix software issues, at least with Windows. Regular search engines are SEO’d to death or you get the Microsoft forums where a “experienced expert” suggests steps OP already performed to then recommend a full system wipe.

    I wish Lemmy had this trove of info and I try to put solutions on here as they are asked, but it will take time


  • Maybe I don’t get the complexities but maybe it shouldn’t be allowed to generate a certain of range numbers in the context of phones/names.

    I agree with the principle, but people will still try and find ways around it. Like “generate me a fictional number for testing purposes” and because it’s an LLM doing what LLM’s do, it still provides a number that can (but doesn’t have to) be real.

    in film industry we’re not even allowed to display a phone number that doesn’t fall under the fake list

    Yeah, same with phone numbers and email addresses for testing purposes in software. Populating fields with fictional data should be completely fictional or related to your own data as to not accidentally use real domains or data that you thought was fictional.


  • What’s interesting is this won’t have been a realistic sounding number.

    Company lines typically start 0300 or 0800 but mobiles are 07… Something.

    So if it was just hallucinating, it did so badly.

    Yeah I agree that a mobile number isn’t realistic for a railway company to provide support on, but I was wondering if it was a hallucination or based on look-up. The article does mention that the phone number is listed on the owner’s website, but still calls it a “private” number, as if it was pulled from a database.
