Arguing with AI (especially LLM) proponents is beginning to feel like arguing with a religious person ... it's almost easier to just let them believe in their god. Pointing out the failures of their favorite LLM to prove to them that i

There needs to be some kind of penalty for the C-suites for running a bank with no risk manager for 9 months too. They had no interest rate risk hedges the entire time. Edit: Downvotes with no replies. I hate it when that happens.

Can you trust it though? It can’t really reason - it’s just very good at guessing the right answer if there are a lot of examples. It also lies somewhat frequently. If we have to double check its output, it kind of defeats the purpose - at

Frankly, if ChatGPT is only good at reproducing commonly written code, I don’t think it will impact the profession much given that code reuse is already a thing and lots are distributed free on the internet.

I feel the question is, should we be making this worse with unreliable AI. Currently AI seem to have 2 weaknesses, it’s quite bad at reasoning and it hallucinates. Yes, humans screw up reasoning too but at least they try. AI like ChatGPT se

There is being misinformed and making a mistake when reasoning. Then there is making s** up. Most humans have the decency to not do the latter while AI (at the moment) freely makes up complete lies when it doesn't have the answer inste

Am I the only one somewhat alarmed that we are choosing to rely on AIs that are vulnerable to hallucinations so much? Personally I rather have a more limited but reliable tool than a more powerful but unreliable one.

Humans can self correct / think critically. AIs like ChatGPT can’t do that at all. You know sometimes you have a “bright idea” then after thinking about it for a second you realise it’s nonsense. With AI like ChatGPT, the “thinking abo

Maybe I’m just old but I don’t quite understand the hype. As long as it’s vulnerable to hallucinating, it can’t be used for anything where there are “wrong answers” - and I don’t think ChatGPT-4 has fixed that issue yet.* Now if it’s one of

You know, I suspect part of the problem is the lack of diversity in SVB's depositor base. When the tech sector took a hit, a significant chunk of SVB's depositors started to redraw money, combined that with their reduced liquidity

Regardless whether you think it's "fair" or not. Letting depositors lose their money won't prevent another SVB.

So how would letting depositors get wiped out stop these executives and shareholders from repeating SVB? Better to just ban such executives from the banking industry and set up better monitoring of banks to catch those that are trying to pu

To be frank, letting depositors get wiped out will not stop those executives from doing the same thing. Most depositors won’t look too closely at what their banks do - heck most don’t understand how banks work. Simpler to just create laws a
