I imagine they're expanding a bunch of notes and reports and research into an article, whose total size is not that much bigger than the "meat" of the inputs. The annoying LLM fluff is largely when someone is trying to inflat

Honestly, I assumed the stock phone apps are doing this by default. It would be stupid not to? It's like a low-hanging fruit present ever since phones started having multiple cameras on the back. (EDIT: though the only real confirmatio

But someone could get offended! So no. But with LLMs, it's becoming easy to make such app for your own use, tuned to the encouragement style and threshold that works best for you.

And yet to this day, in AI threads, so many people act shocked and surprised if you dare follow the obvious implication and claim that understanding is a form of lossy compression.

Star Trek is a post-scarcity society, those problems don't exist there unless you're in the middle of a crisis and on emergency power. LLMs briefly seemed like this too, after subscriptions made the SOTA models too cheap to meter,

Which is why I say people claiming that inflation is at least 2x undercounted relative to lived experience are right. Everything diminishes, all across the board. Materials get cheaper. Service quality gets lower - and when it doesn'

I mean why would you ask locals? There's a good chance that the person you asked is a tourist or an immigrant, and regardless of that, they'll all just... pull up their own phone and check on Google Maps, at the very least so they

Self-consistency and consistency with your lived experience are good heuristics. Reality is self-consistent, so anything that doesn't add up indicated an error in the source or your understanding of it (or both). EDIT: I think it&#
