and the corollary is of course that saying something doesn't make it true

nobody's trying to force you to socialize, it's just advice. take it or leave it

sure but my point is people could agree they were faster at least. that is decidedly not true for LLMs. maybe due to alignable vs non-alignable differences

I wonder why the volume of spam has come up 100x. seems like maybe Ads are the only way to make Sense of it

yes, it is trivially true that each new person who recommends LLMs is a new person coming into the fold

who would I be trying to trick if it was? you didn't answer the question anyways. I'm not wondering whether cars were seen as strictly better than horses in all situations. I'm wondering if people disagreed so vehemently abo

> The variance is great this strikes me as a very important thing to reflect on. when the automobile was invented, was the apparent benefit so incredibly variable?

agreed. we should instead be sneering at the AI critics because "you're holding it wrong"

> But the claim for LLMs are next token predictors is the SAME mischaracterization. LLMs are clearly more than next token predictors. Don’t get me wrong LLMs aren’t human… but they are clearly more than just a next token predictor. it&#x
