An LLM summary. I don't know if it is correct:
The article discusses the case of Philip Colt Moss, a lawyer from Des Moines, Iowa, who faced legal issues related to drug charges in 2017 after a raid on his home uncovered various illegal substances. Moss's lawyer argued that he needed help rather than punishment, leading to Moss entering an inpatient treatment facility. He eventually pled guilty to misdemeanors and received probation.
However, years later, Moss became embroiled in a serious federal investigation concerning his involvement in a disturbing online community that shared and created "monkey crush" videos, which depicted the torture of monkeys. The investigation revealed that Moss communicated with the ringleader of this group via encrypted messaging apps, discussing drug use and the community's activities. He was arrested on August 8, 2024, and now faces the possibility of significant prison time as the Department of Justice has unsealed an indictment against him. The article highlights the dark side of internet communities and the severe consequences of Moss's actions.
If you don't know if it's correct, don't post it.
It went through an LLM. Proofreading every single summary I get from my LLM would defeat the purpose now, wouldn't it? I posted it because I know that my shortener is correct most of the time and to save a few people a click, though I still wanted to let people know it's generated so they can take it with a grain of salt.
Not using an LLM at all would be even better. Especially when it means you'll be wasting less energy and water.
Normally, I would agree with you, but this summary that does not include the explicit description of the torture is a lot easier to read.
I just like tinkering with software and one of my projects is this LLM for summarising texts. When I saw this article I wanted to test it again and do something for the community.
