Researchers have developed a language model named Talkie-1930, trained exclusively on data from before 1931. When prompted about the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, the model generated a response reflecting pre-1931 perspectives. This output, which predates knowledge of the Holocaust and the founding of Israel, surprisingly accurately predicted future geopolitical friction. AI
