I'd say the headline is misleading. The message is in effect that (traditional, human-written) tickets are not prompts and things will go wrong if we treat them as such. But because we will do so anyway, people should adapt and start

Yeah, given that there are some theories floating around that Trump is actually executing the "Path to Persia" paper, it's interesting that those people are (ostensibly) distancing themselves from it.

I think it's interesting that at least one end of a parasocial relationship seems to involve relating not to a person (not even in a pretend way) but to a collective of persons where you don't even know the individuals. This is

Israel is currently busy annexing southern Lebanon, and I don't think it's at all decided how the "hearts and minds battle" in the US will eventually end. (Or how important the popular support even is) So right now, the

That looks interesting. Thanks a lot!

Do you have a link? That sounds interesting (and might be a genuinely good idea, especially with the explainable or auditable decision making)

Yeah, this a lot of what irks me in that article as well. The author hasn't made any groundbreaking discoveries about the inner workings of LLMs - he just claims LLMs work a certain way and then complains that current language use does

One aspect is that chat LLMs are trained to talk like a person - "If I should do X, just say the word" etc. It would be interesting to train an LLM that consistently "talks like a computer" or a command line utility inst

I read somewhere that Bush made this awkward figure of speech not because he didn't know the idiom, but because he realized too late that he'd be saying "shame on me" on air, which is apparently a phrase absolutely Verbo

That would be darkly hilarious, but I think it could also be the opposite way around: That there is a ceasefire shaping up, and some of Trump's staffers couldn't hold it anymore and placed bets using their knowledge - therefore ac

The Bistromathics? That's not incorrect, it's simply too advanced for us to understand.

Not sure if it's AI slop yet, but I also found the core part (the "oblivious transfers") to be explained too handwavy to really understand the properties of this system. I don't want to know all the mathematical details,

I think this is what makes me uneasy about the whole LLM/"consciousness" debate. I may be wrong, but as far as I know, we still don't really understand how a bunch of feedforward networks and attention modules result in
