I suspect a new class of spam is emerging that is strategically placed positively or negatively sentimented text that is designed to be ingested by other LLMs about a certain topic. This spam doesn't need to be convincing to humans, ju

Perhaps the problem is that people don’t want the messages? The thing I dread most about LinkedIn is the constant low effort spam and that LinkedIn basically promotes in my inbox.

On the surface it sounds good. But imagine regulatory capture of this mechanism, now corporate interests could weaponize it to prevent products of competing companies from even being authorized.

It's not dumb. It's a feeling that I share. However even if the technological hurdles are overcome I'm not sure I'd remain viable after learning that my loved ones (and especially children) are long gone if they couldn&#

I suspect it isn't political but rather that being a journalist in Israel is safer than being a journalist in Syria. So naturally one will be represented more than the other. No politics there.

Agreed. I think something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD_NdnYrDzY would work well.

That assumes they have a tit for our tat.

Now I won't be able to stop thinking about that too. It is an interesting way to frame that idea.

Exactly. It's such a pain in the ass to contribute knowledge there that I just don't even bother trying anymore. It's a collection of petty tyrants at this point. I can't wait for LLMs to just digest them whole.

What is this referring to? I can't understand any of this.

Your comment is funny to me and I agree. It reminds me of the "Can LLMs think?" comments. Now I'm left wondering what other "classes of reasoning" are impossible for corporate entities, what they may be blind to sim

Yup. I often will read something like "A connection between X and Y" Then skim down to the conclusion and it will say "In conclusion, we were only able to see some weak connection and we aren't sure if it was one at all,

I think things are more competitive and fast-paced nowadays than when we entered this space and so history and all of the details that come along with it aren't necessarily their first priority. I don't blame them. For example, Wh

All of the pre-2000 Nissans my family have owned or that my friends have owned seemed to be pretty decent (I loved my 1996 sentra). I'm really only referring to some vague date shortly after 2000 where quality took a nosedive. Not sure

My family has owned many Nissans and Infinitis and they are (in the last 15+ years) universally garbage. Nissan makes trash that can drive around for a little bit first, that's what this is. CVTs are kind of crappy to begin with but Ni

Yup. On paper you'd almost have to be an idiot to pick something other than a tesla however the reality of its performance doesn't match what they claim. I'm in the market for another car and I periodically compare something

They’re deliberately being a petty asshole about it (that part isn’t good) but the end result is actually probably better for your brain so I’m fine with the pettiness.
