It sounds to me like you're trusted, well liked and have an opportunity to prove yourself. Don't get too hung up on feeling in control, or preferring a comfortable domain. Everything in life is a blend of agency and context. It ho

If it's not clear from context, I ain't reading that. You're just trolling. Peace out.

There is no 'learning' in the abstract. You learn something. Doing tutorials teach you how to do the thing you do in them. It all comes down to what you wanna learn. If you want to acquire skills doing the things you can ask AI to

Yeah people keep saying "the map is the territory" when it comes to LLMs presumed ability to reason, but that's nonsense.

Nah man you don't get to defend a known rapist and con artist and then claim neutrality. Get a grip.

You're assigning an awful lot of trustworthiness to a known liar for someone who claims not to support him. The debt data is very clear and very public. If anyone is "cooking" it's you.

People seem to get really hung up on the fact that words have meaning to them, in regards to thinking about what an LLM is doing. It creates all sorts of illusions about the model having a semantic understanding of the training data or the

You keep hammering on the point of cuts; what do you say about the fact that Trump has increased debt more than Obama or Biden in his first term?

I don't know about you, but weird emails about a mass voluntary resignation program would take my focus out of any work. If suddenly I have to worry about my job security and the possibility of losing a bunch of colleagues and becoming

There is one master plan tho: might is right. It gets pushed back, but it seeps through every contention wall we have put up so far.

The memory and compute requirements to develop and run these models make no sense if the marginal improvement in autocomplete is the big end result. They only make sense in a world where machine can derive intent from natural language and a

Coding is trying to order bytes into doing arbitrary stuff that is useful because of some transient conjunction of factors in the real world. We have developed programming languages because coding in machine language is horrible, and over t

Free resources are not charity and using them is not parasitic. Without the sharing ethos there would be no modern software. Those who can grasp the complexity of needing an ecosystem for modern technology to exist foster it and those who t

When you know what needs to be done, you don't need "productivity", you just need to work. When you don't know what needs to be done, no amount of "productivity" will compensate for the fact that any work you d

I think there's a more fundamental problem at play here: what seems to work in 'AI', search, is made better by throwing more data into more compute. You then store the results in a model, that amounts to pre-computed solution

When your house is on fire and someone says "get out", certainly grabbing a jerrycan of gasoline and dousing yourself in fuel is worst than just getting out?

You're just describing programming with the extra step of going through a high entropy and low bandwidth channel of natural language and hand waving that problem away. We can "just" write code as well, as we have been doing f

Yeah, lawyering up works best in silence. Don't announce it, especially if you won't actually do it. That's just a double defeat, you show your hand in advance and they get defensive.

Well put. LLMs seem great in environments full of the cruft LLMs are trained on. Seems obvious but I hadn't put it together. Thanks for the insight.
