Super helpful to see actual examples of what it (roughly) can look like to deploy production inference workloads, and also the latest optimization efforts. I consult in this space and clients still don't fully understand how complex i

You're forgetting about RLHF. Many of us forget that an LLM without RLHF would not respond how we think.

I mean I don't disagree. One of my favorite quotes I've been saying for years is "Advertising shits in your brain." But at the same time I think only relying on word of mouth is a bit biased against people who aren'

I'm a millennial and I think you summed it up pretty well.

Y'all must live in a bubble. There are quite a lot of people who work for themselves and sell their expertise and skills to other businesses. And there are plenty of folks who have been doing that for awhile and mainly have client enga

It's not some zero sum game. And "work that matters" or "practical impact" are deeply subjective and contextual. If someone is a freelancer that makes websites more accessible then what qualifies as "practical

Now here's the question then...do you wish those outstandingly good engineers (who do seem to want to share their thoughts hence the blogs and conferences) were sharing some of their good thoughts on LinkedIn? Do we wish more worthwhil

So what are the people with worthwhile products and services supposed to do then? Just not engage in marketing? Sincere question.

I can’t tell if you’re being disingenuous, but the very first sentence of the abstract literally says the word "simulate": > Recent technological advancements have empowered nonhuman entities, such as virtual assistants and hum

Yea I read through the Altman AMA...those people are absolutely serious.

It's not even been 3 years. Give it time. The entire boom and bust of the dot come bubble took 7 years.

It means they're likely going to be left holding a very expensive bag.

Cool project! I watched the short intro video you have and it explains the project well. I'm not really the target audience but I understand what it does. Seems cool and fun. Congrats on launching it.

What?? Have a source on that?

Not true. I've been a paid user forever and on the Android app they have definitely obscured the model selector. It's readily visible to me on desktop / desktop browser. But on the Android app the only place I can find it is

Agreed. LLMs are tools just like any other. If someone builds you a shitty shed we wouldn't blame the tools, and we also would not be satisfied if they blamed the tools on their shoddy work either. I think a lot of the discourse just s

I think you raise a good point. But I also think you're talking past OP's point. The post is about what do we lose when we no longer have human intent behind interpersonal communication. Nowhere did OP specifically say what labo

A forklift is actually a great example of using technology to augment human capabilities without replacing human judgement. Treating the tool as an extension of the person...more cyborg, less automaton. I think that's a better mental m

Really enjoyed that. Shows the "messy middle" that people are caught in during this current wave of AI tech. I think one undeniable positive outcome has been the like collective introspection AI has sparked among so many people. W

I can also vouch for this. Going to the park near my house to walk for 30 mins is great just for the sake of getting out the house and moving my body when I'm feeling anxious. It does wonders for me. Important part to is that I walk fo

You're not wrong. Businesses that do that are going to be in for a rude surprise. Time will tell if they care about pissing off their customers more than they care about getting rid of workers.

I'm someone who builds these types of voice agent systems for businesses. And the short answer is, I think especially for the bigger corporations, customer service probably will get shittier. It doesn't have to be inevitable...but

Isn't it though? He's provided zero evidence to suggest otherwise. So of course we are all going to assume he's talking about the current, popular, SOTA architectures still as the foundational piece.

There's multiple papers on model collapse. Being able to avoid model collapse is different from it "being disproven". If you just mean its risk has been over exaggerated and/or over simplified then yea, you'd have a

You may be right that resistance is futile. But I don't think adaptation is. And there's no reason our adaptation can't be rooted in resistance. For example, maybe smaller local forums make a comeback and their communities de
