Google Brain invented transformers. Granted, none of those people are still at Google. But it was a Google shop that made LLMs broadly useful. OpenAI just took it and ran with it, rushing it to market... acquiring data by any means necessar

If you can't even prove you're an American by providing basic identification, you shouldn't be allowed vote. Democracy requires a system of voting that is trustworthy. Allowing people to vote based on who they say they are is

Can't even see what school it is to look up some stats without an account. Lame.

My guess is that next the language gen will be languages that AI generates, which are optimized to be readable to humans and writable by AI. Maybe even two layers, one layer that is optimized for human skimming, and another layer that actua

I'm not sure how this will play out long term, but I really am not a fan of having to feel like I'm using a limited resource whenever I use an LLM. People like unlimited plans, we are used to them for internet, text messaging, etc
