If you view the name check as a free advert for the company, does that help?

"This initially hides substantial costs that organizations must later pay.” _May_ need to pay if the bet pays off. What about the savings from releasing fast and failing, rather than building the perfect, but wrong, solution?

Interesting. I tried it with a recent photo I converted to B&W. A sunrise scene over a river. It coloured the sky bright blue with clouds and kept most of the buildings b&w. The image looked nice, but not accurate - but I guess that

Istr he was also some sort of physiological freak - huge lung capacity combined with a ridiculously low resting heart rate. Won all his tours by hammering out huge TT leads that were unassailable in the the mountain stages.

quite - the hyperbole of the subtitle (or it's presence on HN) doesn't match the banality reality of 'checkouts used by millions of people around the world still in use'

I did this too! - and built out an Alexa skill so I could ask 'where's that plane flying to'

Or where hallucinating truth co-indices with our understanding of truth?

Why would that matter?

Happy to reply. Let's ask LLM to generate some text given a prompt. It replies with a bunch of words. Let's ask LLM to generate some text given a different prompt. It replies with a bunch of other words. In both instances, the mod
