No actually it made a few specific historical analogies that I’ve never heard before and that absolutely could be responded to. The responder just chose not to.

Nothing they said demonstrated any understanding of what they replied to. They simply restated their opinion with no reference to any of the points made in the comment they were ostensibly replying to.

This is really a theoretical problem and not a practical one though. Practically, for everything I use these tools for today (complex low-level systems programming), hallucinations don’t even exist anymore. When they don’t know something, t

I mean they have been solved practically I think. I use these things all day every day and haven’t seen a hallucination in a long time.

Are there any reproducible hallucinations on any of the currently available OAI/Anthropic models? I’m not aware of any. And even if they are related - if Opus 4.8 always has a 1:100 chance of a specific hallucination - then running the

Not really. Take hallucinations for example. If they are 1 in 100 (actually they are much rarer, but for the sake of argument), then the chances that 2 LLMs or even just 2 runs of the same LLM have the same hallucination is, well, a lot les

Yes, I guess we will find out if high demand for their products is good or bad for an industry.

None of this suggests to me that enormous demand for semiconductors could be bad for the semiconductor industry.

I don’t understand how there being essentially unlimited demand for their products that far exceeds supply and is driving up prices accordingly is somehow a bad sign for the industry? > Now, you could raise prices to the point where you

I wanted some examples they actually experienced. Because I use these things daily and haven’t seen a hallucination in a long long time.

If the author can’t put in the effort to think of something original to say that hasn’t been said 1000x, why should I put the effort into rebutting cliches that were last relevant in 2024?

Yes? My point is that for what I do - low level systems and embedded stuff - nestJS is really not something that I need or want to know about. I just want a good dashboard. Now thanks to LLMs, I can focus on the fun and interesting stuff.

To what end though? If you want financial freedom, and you’re smart, you’re likely to be much better off just working in big tech vs trying and almost certainly failing to successfully found a company. Of course some people win the lottery,

I don’t trust anyone who has the general, abstract goal of being a “founder”. If there’s no great idea to go with it, it just seems like vanity. And sure it does work out really well anyway sometimes, but it’s just something I can’t get beh
