Exactly. Jailbreaking is WAI for the folks who want the “Android experience” on an iPhone. Much of this drama is merely corporations vying to “get theirs” from the ecosystem, without understanding that the extant nature of the ecosystem is

I'm not sure that would solve the problem. Ultimately this (and speaking with LLMs in general) feels a lot like filling in an adaptive form rather than talking to a human being. The LLM, for example, is never going to go on and tell yo

I would argue that games are a great analogue to language learning as well. Contrary to our ideals, people do like to enjoy themselves and are more likely to pick an activity they enjoy than one they don't. Games and puzzles are able t

A fundamental problem with language learning built around an LLM is that the one thing you can guarantee is that no two people will have a consistent experience, nor is there ever going to be a 100% freedom-from-error. That makes it very

When I have a poor manager who doesn’t improve quickly, what I do differently is get a different job. I understand that’s a privileged position to be in, and also that one needs to have a fair bit of experience to identify whether the manag

During the early days of NotebookLM, I got it to generate this interesting look behind the scenes of how the script is made: https://vocaroo.com/1nZBz5hdjwEh As a bonus its hilarious in its own right.

What will it take to get people to admit they don’t actually know what they’re talking about? The answer to that question lies at the bottom of a cup of hemlock.

For me this moment came when Google calendar first let you enter fuzzy text to get calendar events added, this was around 2011, I think. In any case, for the end user this can be made to happen even when the computer cannot actually handle

To be clear, I’m just saying the analogy isn’t great, not that one can never be impressed by an LLM (or a person for that matter)!

I believe there is nuance here. Something akin to the 'last mile' problem in delivery exists in these realms as well — AI can get close, and usually even complete the task when the artifact is not the end product — but in cases

Title is a bit provocative and begs the question (is thinking the part being replaced?), but the bigger issue is what “little” means here. Little in absolute terms? I think that’s harsh. Little in relation to how it’s touted? That’s a ratio
