- bdangubic 11mo agovery true. and these days take a lot less effort than before getting llms to summarize shit which is one task they inarguably shine on
- verdverm 11mo agoThey make too many mistakes for me to rely on their summaries for consulting. Repeating one of those is a great way to embarrass yourself in front of a client and damage your reputation
- nunez 11mo agoI don't trust LLMs or "deep research" for any serious analysis. I use them for guidance (when I do use them) but not for the final product. Too many words with too many landmines (mistakes) hidden within. Also, distillation and inference via human brain is much more environmentally-friendly than sacrificing fleets of GPUs while only being just a tad bit more work.
- nunez 11mo ago100% based. Some of the best meetings and demos I've ever ran in my consulting era were done on prep I did maybe 30 minutes before! Ironically, in many cases, the more prep I did, the worse the outcome was!
