I drive a 2008 Hyundai Elantra, and with the addition of a bluetooth adaptor, I really have everything I want in a car. It's got no idea what's going on, and I like it that way.

Shame on that spokesperson. Don't care if it's on behalf of a company, have some shame.

I really find the whole situation here fascinating: 1. Clearly cares. Does great work. 2. Industry is like "damn this guy does great work, do ours". 3. Consumers get used to the style. Begins to become a standard. 4. Becomes an ex

Do you think it's possible an LLM might be able to evaluate if another LLM is better than itself?

I'm here for Chaotic Good AGI. AI dictating "I recommend you don't eat bread this Tuesday" and everything just magically works out. We wonder what eating the bread might have done, world ticks on.

What's preventing an LLM from coding a better LLM?

Even if they have $100,000 in furniture at each branch that's less than $2 million total, which seems like such small potatoes compared to the $200 billion in assets.

Just gotta keep the goats off the panels (a real problem!)
