Not LLMs per-se but the wrap-around claims peddled by "AI" companies.

But also you're potentially able to backdoor in if future vulnerabilities are found. One foot in the door so to speak.

Thanks. I think the original point about the word 'trained' being contentious still stands, as evidenced by this thread :)

Rodents aren't functions though?

Even the verb 'trained' is contentious wrt anthropomorphism.

Definitely one of those where the interviewer wants to show how smart they are.

Reminds me of first gen chatbots where the user had to put in the effort of trying to craft a phrase in a way that would garner the expected result. It's a form of user-hostility.

Because?

Where do people draw the line between a PKM (which is yours) and team documentation (which belongs, presumably to your team to which you have a transient relationship with)?

A new meaning to the term "space junk"

That's a different thing. They are asserting this pattern exists in all human cultures, not that it's a feature of human cultures (vs other species, also as per the abstract)

I mean, it was a rhetorical question, but ok.

Not sure I understand the downvotes. We demonstrably have culture, including higher function language. The "other species" they mention as being the comparator don't.

The British perspective on this is really the Portable Antquities Scheme at https://finds.org.uk/ which has been running for over 20 years. You'll find details of research papers and the Staffordshire Hoard, probably o

They're "cold-fusion" close. Which means a perpetual "few years".

Yeah, you see that's 100% not a citation, and shows why we need academia...

Yes, drones, but how is this much different in terms of strategy than packing a van with explosives like the IRA were doing in Britain in 80s/90s? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Staples_Corner_bombing
