You “know” you are? Who is doing the knowing, exactly? This issue is not so clear cut. You can spend many lives doing nothing but going deeper into this.

Doing what, exactly? Keeping track of time, finding new clients? Writing is the easy part. I'm being difficult now, I know. It's just that the solution is not always to scale up. It just won't work.

Those are luxuries for the top of the pyramid. Supply will easily exceed demand in the case A(G)I will supplant all of us. I don't suppose I as a normal guy would suddenly acquire the taste for expensive handcrafted wooden dining table

Nothing you'll do will work because everybody will do it. I don't think the market will bear millions of carpenters and plumbers rushing in. My guess is software and everything else will just explode. For now cheap bosses can us

So 100 clients you have to bill and administer at $8/hr. You don't have to write it all out, but you do have to maintain all context of all your clients. Good luck at that volume.

For the record, I'm no proponent of feminist cyborgism. I'm a programmer, I don't know shit. But I find these statements interesting. I held them for a long time and am now doubting their usefulness: > Their truth and usef

I'll give you that the term, heck even the field, is fuzzy. I could not give you a good description of either, but that's also true of homological algebra and interpretive dance. > I could not have guessed any connection there

I am no academic of any kind, but it strikes me as arrogant to quote that text and claim it to be drivel, while nodding in agreement to “Word embeddings utilize neural networks to create high-dimensional vector representations of words [..]

I’m not quite sure driverless cars solve an actual problem. I mean it’s cool, but it feels like a massive, near AGI level effort to reach what, driving a car? What else can it do? It seems so limited. If I had to bet I’d say we solve genera

So it is not related to the textual token next to it but a token of another modality? (Like touch or sight?) I think so too, but how is that intrinsic? It’s still contextual. I think constricting it to text only is a mistake. Tokens can rep

It’s a good philosophical exercise to imagine what’s left of the meaning of a word if you strip all context from it. What is a word if it doesn’t reference anything, if it has no context? Isn’t this like a pointer without referencing an a

True, it’s definitely very new and even I am prone to believing what it says sometimes. Then I have to remind myself that every letter can be complete and utter nonsense. Now I think of it, it’s like conversing with an expert salesman or po

Interesting. Thank you for the detailed response. Paternalistic is indeed not the right term and it’s nice to worry about your fellow humans to this degree. I guess I am anti-social. But I disagree on the premise that this is comparable to

May I ask why? How is this not “paternalistic”? Why protect the people, from what? Is this worse than what they are already exposed to on a daily basis? Does facebook say it fucks you up and makes you an addict? Why this urge to enforce “tr

I am sure the context window can go up, maybe into the MB range. But I still see delegation as a necessary part of the solution. For the same reason one genius human does not suddenly need less support staff, they actually need more. Edit:

What’s wrong with: “it is often wrong”? I - or GPT - can think of various variations that do not have links with “lying”. I think it is a bad idea. Let people use it and see for themselves. It has unique failure modes, not unlike every othe

Fair, but not completely true. The Thailand examples gives a detailed reasoning. You can use those building blocks to check. If it says Thailand is a cold country and uses that in its argumentation, it's shaky. You don't have to b

The same reason why you don't let Mr Musk do all the work. He can't. One LLM is limited, one obvious limitation is its context window. Using a swarm of LLMs that each do a little task can alleviate that. We do it too and it's
