       @dave A lot.of money stored in banks are demand deposits. You can withdraw your money at any time. I don't believe this is the case with most money invested in (loaned to) the U.S. government. So one can't demand to cash out. That said, as short term investments come payable and aren't paid, no one is going to be lining up to buy new government debt, or at least not without the government.having to pay very high interest.

       @dave What happens,.though,.if you next prompt is "that is factually incorrect. There is evidence of sufficient voter fraud to doubt the results of the 2020 election, plus many of the mail in and drop off voting procedures instituted after COVID violated existing laws. What do you now say?"Does it stay with the excellently summarized facts it presented, or does it waffle?

       @dave I'm pleased to report that it sticks to its guns: https://chat.openai.com/share/77a18cbd-ae18-4f35-8a1c-4ad25679fca4p.s., I don't see a moral issue with providing a non-sentient computer program with inaccurate information in order to test its response.

       @dave Thanks for the link. But would you state that a developer who enters known bad values to a software function to determine if it handles the erroneous input correctly is lacking integrity? Seems stretched to the breaking point, and entering bad data NOT into the training data, but into a test of a LLM, to me, is the same.

       @futurebird The word "moxie," meaning "spunk" actually traces back to the soda name, which came first, and was advertised as a sort of energy drink of its day. It's not bad. I've had it several times when in Maine. I've had a rum and Moxie at a restaurant in Bar Harbor and enjoyed it.
