Re: building a bird… I didn’t come up with the analogy and if we all want to stop talking about building birds I would be the first to agree. But I can’t help by think about all of the whacky ideas like antigravity vital forces that biologists contrived to explain how birds could fly and that it took Bernoulli and the rigorous study of those principles that led to the airfoil… which is how birds actually soar through the air. BTW, what the fuck happened to these forums in the last few years? It seems like most people base their opinions on how opposite they are to Sam Altman and Elon Musk’s as opposed to any geeky principles of discovery. I highly doubt that most of y’all would have been ardent supporters of generative grammar five years ago… but slap the word LLM on something and boy howdy! It’s kind of nice, I learn quite a bit defending good ideas. All y’all get is fake internet points. I fully understand any and all downvotes! Have fun!
