I'm not sure what you are wanting here, are you actually requiring me to be a bully to affect change? I can certainly criticize specific things respectfully. If I prioritised demonstrating my moral superiority I could loudly make all

Perhaps things would work out better if people didn't say mean things regardless of who it's about. You can still criticise without being mean.

I think this is missing the point, These are tools that enable the LLM to do things that humans can do easily. It stops an LLM from being blocked by the inability to do this thing. Removing this barrier might enable the LLM to complete a

One of my formative impressions of AI came from the depiction of the Colligatarch from Alan Dean Foster's The I Inside. The AI in the book is almost feels like it is the main message masquerading as a subplot. Asimov knew the risks, an

A version of this does happen with regard to fitness. There are enthusiasts who will spend an absolute fortune to get a bike that is few grams lighter and then use it to ride up hills for the exercise. Presumably a much cheaper bike would

One of the very first experiments I did with AI was trying to build a browser based filesystem interface and general API provider. I think the first attempts were with ChatGPT 3.5 . I pretty quickly hit a wall, but Gpt4 got me quite a lot

I don't see a problem with that statement. If you get the situation where the two are in conflict then you have to bring in a judgement, but it makes it explicit what you are prioritising. Luckily for the case of energy, solar meets bo

That's the judgement made with all consumption of energy. The benefits weighed against the costs. Because of the harms of environmental change, there should be pressure placed to avoid damaging ways to generate that energy. When peopl

The thing is, all of those are valid ways to manufacture things and they each have their merits and values. There is no problem with using hand tools, power tools or CNC. The problem is people looking down on the others. Of course the pat

I'm not sure if that is the right calculation. Provided the flops are not prohibitive. Output quality per model bytes might be better. In general people run the largest model they can. I certainly think trading speed for quality at the

To develop this approach you need to think through the reasoning of what you want to achieve. I don't think the reasoning in LLMs is nonexistent, but it is certainly somewhat limited. This is disguised by their vast knowledge. When
