Yes and no. LLMs take all the writing on the Internet (good and bad) and average it out. It's similar to the way generative AI images always have an identifiable, artificial "look". They've averaged out the personality a

You're glossing over January 6. There are few things more damning of the American electorate than their willingness to vote for a man who tried to use a coup to stay in power. The rest of the world sees it. And they'd be stupid to

Assange's lawsuit is kind of silly, but his point about the incorrectness of the award to Machado stands up to scrutiny. She overtly encouraged military intervention by the US in Venezuela. That's a blatant contradiction of everyt

It's a tell that he's been influenced by rationalist AI doomer gurus. And a good sign that the rest of his AI opinions should be dismissed.

If only they had discovered philosophy. Instead they NIH their own philosophy, falling into the same ditches real philosophers climbed out of centuries ago.

When building their LLMs, the model makers consumed the entire internet. This allowed the models to improve exponentially fast. But there's no more internet to consume. Yes, new data is being generated, but not at anywhere near the rat

If you've worked in SWE for long enough, you'll run into this kind of socially maladjusted petty tyrant many times in your career. It's fascinating to see so many of these tyrants exposing themselves in this thread, though.
