I spend a ridiculous amount of time at my job on emails. I use claude and chatGPT all the time but I just don't see how language models can help me with email. Typing the words is never the bottleneck. The problem is trying to express

I also think it is what you say when you are traveling, living off your trust fund. Instead of going to Phish concerts, raves or pretending be a professional poker player, the 2020s version is/was to be a digital nomad "entreprene

This thing looks like a complete joke next to the Unreal Engine.

Yes, it basically changes to men complaining about women. The people with a good sex life end up becoming therapists for the group. Mixed groups on the other hand turn into a soap opera. What is needed is a strong common interest that binds

You should read the book of the same name by Eric Hoffer. It is an incredible book and a crime it is not a standard text in education.

Yes, as an American who is an absolute minimalist, people here own so much junk. It is not just well off people, it is practically everyone. Everyone has an enormous amount of junk. Well off people just have more pricey junk.

I think many people just settled in while we had no real technological change for 15 years. Real change, not an update to a web framework. When I graduated high school, I had never been or knew anyone who had ever been on the internet at al

IMO it is a mixture of stupidity and denial. I am not a software engineer but I just can't imagine my job is not automated in 10 years or less. 10 years is about the time between King – Man + Woman = Queen and now. I think what is bein

I just doubt all this is true though. It all seems like the same Utopian thinking any way you cut it. It makes for good fiction books because we can't see the actual counterfactual. The simpler explanation to me would be it wouldn&#x27

I completely understand what you are saying but ip does make an interesting point. Why would chain of thought work at all if the model wasn't gaining something by additional abstraction away from binary? Maybe things even go in the oth

Imagine packing 50,000 elephants inside a football stadium. Humans have a unique ability to scale up a network of brains without complete hell breaking lose.

In other words, creating a model that has little to do with reality then sampling from it to come up with a result that has little to do with reality. Yes, I think this is kind of standard practice in many fields. If someone questions this

Yes, this is the nature of being spoiled rotten. I am not a software engineer and have never felt stable in my 30 year career. It always feels like the rug could get pulled out from under me at any time. So what? It is still better than wor

I am Gen X and fully expect to be working until 70, hopefully. I knew a guy who worked full time at a bank at 85. He said all the time he didn't have to work but what else was he going to do all day? A big reason he was able bodied at

My boomer parents are already pushing being retired for 20 years, neither did anything more than the bare minimum in life. They could have easily worked 10 years longer instead of doing nothing but drinking wine all day and/or going ou

Then you obviously didn't listen to a word Chomsky has said on the subject. I was quite dismissive of him on LLMs until I realized the utter hubris and stupidity of dismissing Chomsky on language. I think it was someone asking if he wa

It really shouldn't be hard to understand that a titan of a field has forgot more than what an arm chair enthusiast knows. I remember having thoughts like this until I listened to him talk on a podcast for 3 hours about chatGPT. What w

It probably takes the smallest amount of interaction with you to tell you are absolutely brilliant. I am self taught and wouldn't hire myself to write anything software wise. For the average person, a degree is to signal a person is at

I have experienced this for various libraries. I think it helps to paste in a package.json in the prompt. All the models seem to struggle with React three fiber like this. Mixing and matching versions that don't make sense. I can see t

The whole idea of a "killer app" is stupid. It is a dismissive rhetorical device to prove a wrong point on an internet forum such as this that has nothing to do with reality.

"I don't have anything to ask the model, so the model hasn't improved" Brilliant! I am pretty much ready to be done talking to human idiots on the internet. It is just so boring after talking to these models.

You mean the same people that built the CIA and NSA? You are literally talking about the founders of the surveillance state.

I think it is more like giving someone a swiss army knife and they complain it won't even cut a piece of wood because their role in society is being compensated for cutting wood. All they know how to do is cut wood. They aren't ev

Its worse than this. It doesn't matter if a human understands recency bias, the availability heuristic or the halo effect. It will still change the decision. It doesn't matter if you "understand" these concepts or not. O

I just think the entire framing is wrong. I have done quite a bit with AI generated audio/sound/music. At some point in the process, the end result feels like your own and the models were used to create material for the end work.

"Rap isn't even music, they aren't even singing!" Rap is really the best example of how stupid these discussions are. The language models are amazing at rhyming so by the logic then anyone can become a rapper and that is
