How do you know anything is correct? LLMs can be wrong, humans can be wrong, you can be wrong. The motto of the royal society, is "Nullius in verba" which is a latin phrase : "take nobody's word for it," that'

Exactly my thought as well, in creative idea generation you have creative fluency “how frequently do you have new ideas” and creative originality “how novel are your ideas” The creative originality of giving an LLM memory is next to zero, i

When you’re a junior it’s natural to overvalue your code, because you’re still learning this incredibly complex thing called programming, and that code took a lot of effort to produce! But the actual truth is that the code itself is nearly

What do you mean "No cheating by generating your results"? we cannot rely on honesty for this, it will have to be publicly visible, externally verifyable results.

>You make $800 by paying OpenAI $200? Can you please explain how your the value put in is 5x and how I can start making $800 more a month? I estimate that the addtional work I can do is worth that much. It doesn't matter that "

Me too, once you’ve had a lot of practice with it (like anything) and know how to mitigate some of its weaknesses, then it’s a superpower. I currently pay 200 USD a month for AI, and my company pays about 1,200 USD for all employees to use

AI is probably the worst offender at this (killing mental model diversity) but there’s lots of other things that do it too, the internet enabled rapid sharing of ideas, but it did homogenise human mental models a lot more. Of course the ben

Speak up citizens! Email the state congressman and tell them what you think. Since (pretty much) nobody does this, if a few hundred people do it, they will sit up and take notice. It takes less people than you might think. Since coordinatin

Yes because external storage is much larger, and theres nothing more annoying than being in the middle of doing some science with 30 other bits of complex equipment, and then the camera stops working with storage full errors and youre 7000m

If something that is true scares you, you should think about it and look at it, in little bits, until it doesn’t. Accept your fragility, be grateful for what the universe gives you, be humble about your limits and faults, and spread happine

Is the problem that the system is inherently broken, or does the problem sit in that 30% ?

PSA: If you publish a paper that talks about high resolution images can you please include at least 1 high resolution image. I know that is a subjective metric but by anyone’s measure a 4x4 matrix of postage stamp sized images are not high

First jump that computers gave us : speed. With excess of speed came the ability to brute force many problems. Next jump given by AI (not LLMs specifically, I mean “machine learned systems” in general) is navigation. Even with large amounts

Wow even the followup response apologising for noise was full of noise. It finishes "I can follow up ... blah blah blah ... should I find an issue" Tone deaf and utterly infuriating.
