I mean you're ignoring an obvious trend. These LLMs are improving rapidly. If the improvement continues, the LLMs can reach a point in skill where they can replace us. Your statement and this article is gambling on the status quo. That

This post is speculative. We're only 4 months into seeing the potential of LLMs with huge sets of training data. 4 months... that's it. Wait 5 years, and during that time we'll know whether or not it's worth it to know p

Does this generalize to all allergies? If it does perhaps expose babies to all known human allergens in some shot or something.

People know about it. But in principle the bank is suppose have cash redeemable. Would you ever put money in a bank that you know for a fact will never be able to redeem your money ever??

> Depositors can be made whole without receiving little green pieces of paper. However, in principal The bank promises redeemable cash, that's why people stay in banks. But it's a lie. Again bank runs exist because of this lie.

That's a blurry definition I can sort of feel what you're trying to convey here but objectively it doesn't make sense. A brick building for example. Is a brick building the emergent effect of bricks? No. This makes your defin

Not if it's said in a nice way. The commenter called LLMs a freaking auto complete. That's not nice either, but nice enough for HN. So I figured a little subtle gloating is deserved and well within the bounds of etiquette here on

For article writing verification is quick, I don't need to worry about a "bug" in the generated article as I do with code. For art, verification is instant, a bad generation is rejected. Trust is only a bound for certain area

I mean this is impossible to measure right? You'd have to compare all possible outputs of GPT3 with all possible outputs of GPT4. You can get away with a random sample. But there's a lot of bias in that sample and it's hard t

Of course. But the computer is a controlled environment designed to imitate the rigor of formal mathematics. It is usually not expected for such behavior to occur in computing. Of course in the real world it happens all the time. YOU are em

My bad. It's the caps. I'll remove the caps. Just picture me saying it a nicer way.

Except I didn't write that and I will quote myself: >"I can tell you this. I do not know future iterations of LLMs can take over our jobs" I wrote that I don't know which is the best answer we all have at this point.

What they said 10 years ago was correct. It did hit society like a sledge hammer. Machine learning basically took over the AI space and penetrated the consumer space with applications that were all but impossible in the previous decade. The

Writings on chaos and complexity theory obviously aren't talking about LLMs. Those theories are so high level that it might as well be akin to "philosophy" to the applied scientists working on LLM research. Additionally keep

Isn't this just a different way of saying "the value of money is imaginary"? So why repeat what I said?

C++ limited it's growth. I think the rate of growth for libraries in rust will be more diverse and faster. I'm predicting we won't hit JavaScript levels of diversity (the problem space is just that much harder in gaming then

You're right. But I think rust just hit an inflection point of exponential growth. We are in the midst of the beginning of a paradigm shift. So while you're right, it's hard for a developer right now to make a hard decision g

No, money is suppose to exist as solid green paper. The value is imaginary but its existence is physical. The bank and government claim that if I want my money they can give me my money in green physical paper bills because it exists in the

Your example here is obvious right? All humans agree with you because all humans can tell the difference. The thing with these LLMs is that it's exhibiting both seemingly random remixes and remixes with extreme creativity. A lot of peo
