Makes sense. > But to my mind it isn’t even hyperbole. It’s just an expression saying “I am on my guard now”. I'm Dutch, so English is a second language. I started at 7. To me it comes across as hyperbole or something literal. Maybe

Sounds like a whirlwind of an experience! It really becomes a game when you’re both doing it. Push pull came up naturally through playfulness so I never consciously thought about it. Sometimes it came through spontaneous ballroom dancing. T

I went down that rabbit hole too and actually improved myself. I recommend Juggler (old school), Austen Summers and AttractionGym (Dutch). I would still recommend to use your common sense though. Not everything they say is good advice but I

Why reach for a gun? You want to kill people that proclaim to be better leaders because of a self-help book? I know people drew guns for less but this is the first time I am reading something like this on HN. I’d suggest you’d read a few bo

LLMs allow for play. Play means learning. Then that knowledge can be utilized for a second project or to chat with someone more experienced. We all have different learning styles. I learn through play when it comes to LLMs.

I think one needs test audiences before they publish to the masses. We need the ability to play with our voice a bit to see how it connects well to the world

Fair enough, I’m not sure what the need is to be so vague about it then.

Hmm saying it’s random-ish is doing it a disservice. I understand it’s a stochastic process but there’s definitely some level of understanding. Not at the level of lived experience but usually an LLM with vision capabilities can call a spad

I hope this has some answers [1]. It’s on the front page right now, but your frustration clearly seems to have some implicit answers that [1] is trying to answer. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48477135

Same. And the insight of having used LLMs and it being so capable is a wtf moment for me in itself. And I am an AI engineer. It’s my job to have a good idea about how far these models can take us.

Yea fair. I have that when I ask an LLM to prove the Riemann hypothesis. I am not mathematically mature. So I can’t see if it approaches it in any way that might yield some insight.

Ah, the “I am an expert so I can guide it argument”. Not sure if you are right or wrong. I do know this is the argument that many software engineers claim as well. Yea, I don’t know if it will hold up. I hope so. It could. I don’t know if i

I agree with you. I am on Dutch subreddits a lot, to get a local pulse and not to be too HN minded. A lot of them would have vilified you by now. Some even would have even questioned your morality. Again, I agree with you. But clearly not e

Quite frankly, most people on HN are software devs with a wider interest in the world. HN’ers usually-ish comment when they have something insightful to sat, even if the insight is just a humble one. But I dare to guess that most HN’ers did
