If you don't really understand how LLMs of today are made possible, it is really easy to fall into the trap of thinking that it is just a matter of time and compute to attain perpetual progress..

Just curious. What stuff did you make before the LLMs, with regular coding?

There is a saying in my native language that goes something like "If you mix poison and milk, the milk will turn poisonous, instead of poison becoming milk (aka beneficial)". I guess, to convert it into this context, we can say th

It is not actually the gaps in capability, and instead it arises from an understanding of how it works and an honest acknowledgement of how far it could go.

The question is not if these things are actually intelligent or not. The question is if these things will be useful without an endless supply of training data and continuous re-alignment using it.. And the questions "Are these things r

I think clients who care about getting good software will eventually require that LLMs are not directly used during the development. I think one way to compare the use of LLMs is that it is like comparing a dynamically typed language with a
