Using an LLM to interpret natural language and from that perform commands is an incredibly bad idea.

No, it would be very hard and you already showed to not be arguing in good faith so I don't want to invest the time and effort. And let me be very clear on why, because I love having conversations about this theme: it promises to be an

Doesn't matter. The Manhattan project was a breakthrough in fundamental science that changed the world. Current generative AI are a solid degree improvement on previous technology that is not remotely as big a leap as the amount of mon

The value of developers is not the code they output. It's the mental models they develop of the problem domain and the systems they build. LLMs can output code without developing the mental models. Code is liability. The knowledge insi

About the GDP of the US and Europe over the past 80 years so a few quadrillion dollars.

Cool. Invest in it then. That way you get paid instead of saying "I told you so" to some screen name.

There are always dividends. We got a lot of interest in Lisp from the first summer, and it arguably informed all currently used programming languages.

Moral outrage at the idea of personal responsibility and strawman arguments are hallmarks of poor decision making.

The only plausible explanation for the amount of resources poured into these language models is the hope that they somehow become the origin of AGI, which I think is pretty fanciful. I can feel the cold wind of the next AI winter coming on.

At some point we need to know the difference between making decisions in good faith or seeking discounted goods and services in a way that jeopardize your own family safety. Knee-jerk reactions related to template interpretations of the sit

Were it trivial to attribute the performance of complex systems to individuals, they would have no need to seek employment at firms and would be able to get the fair value for their labor in an efficient market.

They do and it is very noticeable for me as a user. I pay for and use ChatGPT a lot, different models for different things. It is a great tool, but I have studied it in depth before using and I try to have meaningful conversations with peop

I mean why should we expect soft ware to have hard rules? Flexibility is the point, no?

I don't get this type of attitude. Surely using the source signal, before an LLM add noise would be much preferable. Besides, there seems to be heavily diminishing returns to de-noising LLM output, and even a hard barrier to how much w

C'mon really? In the Book of Fallacies they used the other word? Talk about pedantism.

My argument was that one of the most American things ever (hip hop) is actually rooted in NY. The rest is a response to 'hip hop heads don't listen to female artists' so I mentioned a bunch of heavyweights. This can degenerat

The rule of law is always contingent on the good will of the powerful. RIP USA. They are dismantling the country, not an abstract concept. Godspeed my American friends, I hope you live in a strong state, can get to one, or have a second nat

Runaway consumption is bad. But it increases profits quarter after quarter. You're right, people will not give it up. Neither those who want to consume more and more, nor those who profit from and foment that cycle. Consumption under c

You're grossly misrepresenting both science and philosophy. Science is a conscious and self referential effort, it has nothing to do with animals learning how to survive in their environment. Philosophy is definitely not bible thumping

I tried re-reading Brave New World recently. It was too depressing how it felt it was describing present times.

I agree, this is just how I go about it. Not defending it on any general grounds whatsoever. I acknowledge that a lot of the media I consume ends up being just part of a genre, and that I often don't even know the originals and only ha

Any demand pull will ultimately increase consumption of resources at the end. There's no ethical consumption under capitalism. The only thing that works is consuming less. Pretending like there is a way to do it only opens up avenues f

I like sci-fi but I tend to only like classics. I found Neuromancer so incredibly interesting because it seems to be at the root of so much contemporary "cyberpunk" stuff. I often say that genres are what happens when mediocre art
