Oops... I am deeply sorry, thank you for the heads up! It seems I've myself committed a cardinal sin that I am usually quick to point in others - rushing to reply without comprehending the full message. (Meta-oops: I realized how LLM-i

I may have different perception facilities in the brain, but to me the images in the article are horrifying. Such bad, Frankenstein-level, criminal butchering of absolutely everything!

I am by no means an expert, but I'd like to offer my mental model - up to you to decide if it is solid or not, but it works for me. I think the core intuition is that, like with any other "rasterized" system with finite memor

To my understanding, LLM, by design, is unable to encode negation semantics. Neither negation "operation", nor any other "subtractive" operations are computable in LLM machinery. Thinking out loud, in your example the &q

Agree. Your post mirrors surprisingly well with mine of last year [0] - did you, by chance, happened to come across it? I said "you’d likely get approximately the same quality of candidates from a randomly selected 50 out of 5,000&quot

I am in agreement with you, but regret that you missed an opportunity to swap two paragraphs around and purposefully mislabel them (i.e. the LLM-generated as your own, and vice versa). I'd be very curious if audience here would success

I think you are mistaken. I remember landing upon that website some time before 2023 and being greatly impressed by that very 3D parallax effect. To my knowledge there were no AI tools available in 2022 capable of producing effects like tha

This is a very useful take, thank you. Really helped me to adjust my mental model without "antropomorphising" the machinery. Upvoted. If I may, I would re-phrase/expand the last sentence of yours in a way that makes it even m

Upvoted, as it basically 99% matches my own thinking. Very well said. But I, personally, would not predict a breakthrough in this direction in the next 2-5 years, as there is no pathway from current LLM tech to "true reasoning".
