This. I'll still use langchain for token/cost counting and some nice abstractions on top of the LLM, and the document loader system is semi-useful, but all of the retriever/chain stuff abstracts away the most important part

While the APIs make it significantly easier to ingest for LLM training, scraping will still work. Unless they put 100% of content behind a login-gate, it's currently legal* to scrape and use for derivative works, as long as you have th

Yet there are emergent behaviours from these LLMs that are both surprising and not immediately understood. [1][2][3] Everyone has theories, of course, but still pretty "magic" considering these behaviours weren't theorised i

I don't think this will work, because it seems like the average person prefers being lied too, or put another way, people prefer to live in blissful ignorance. A $300 TV gives you the illusion of privacy, sure you see some ads, but you
