this is a pretty biased and uninformed opinion. Pretty condescending to call it a "bunch of dorks...running around unsupervised."

- recuter 4y agoI don't know what my bias is supposed to be but I called them dorks affectionately for one. The other replies are literally arguing that they are very extremely supervised where as I am speculating they are just eager to share their work for the right reasons and the eye of Sauron has yet to turn upon them. Inside knowledge I never claimed. Anything else I can help you with today? :)
- rcpt 4y ago> I called them dorks affectionately Never in my life have I seen that word used affectionately
- vidarh 4y agoI have seen that many times, as well as seeing people use it about themselves.
- sebastiennight 4y agoI think Noah Kagan's blog is literally called "OK Dork", and I always assumed the title was self-deprecating (in a fun/positive way) rather than negative.
- drusepth 4y agoGeek, nerd, and dork can all be used positively/affectionately. I know I've called myself and friends all of the above on many occasions.
- alibero 4y agoAs one of the unsupervised dorks working on LLMs at Meta (not one of the authors here) I took it in a positive way :)
