I'm sorry but all this proves is that a lot of published stories aren't very good. The three human stories attached don't have fantastic plot and read a little poorly. All three of the human written stories read like they wer

Then this entire conversation is a pointless argument - as I agree that models aren't omniscient, godlike entities that are perfect sources of truth, and that you need to use critical thinking when using them. I don't trust models

Firstly, I can't refute a point that's little more than an opinion - my doubt is that a modern frontier model is significantly hallucinating within a relatively short conversation that can easily be verified. There is no way to re

This feels like an impossible assessment - yes, a model probably can't give you the education that a advanced/expert book on a topic will, but implying that having a verifiable goal is somehow fake learning feels like an intractab

This would be a valid point maybe 3 years ago, but most chatbots will now query and verify direct sources, especially in research mode. This is very simple to validate and verify. You could argue it may find false primary sources. You can c

This post made me write manual code, there's something about hearing the description of this that makes me worry the bubble is going to come home to roost. The obvious danger of spending so much on inference and creating ever expanding

I really love this - fantastic that it's open source too as would love to contribute. Is there an opportunity to add fresh new sites on this?

That's a bit of a false comparison - does this font significantly improve your quality of life comparably to a cheaper/open source font? Is this font really that much better than Jetbrains mono? Why not pay $10,000 for a font if y

I think whenever a blog post begins to sound like a marketing campaign from versace - it's always a great sign that it may be LLM generated. This isn't just a comment. It's a an experience. A shared cognition between parties

Nope, plenty of complex tasks. It's just not that much better, it's equivalent to sonnet with a good harness.

I think the fable it's referring to is the "Emperor has No Clothes" - if this is even slightly similar to the Mythos hyped up to be too intelligent to release, I'm quite disappointed. If this was a step change, e.g a Opu

Seduced, shaggy Samson snored. She scissored short. Sorely shorn, Soon shackled slave, Samson sighed. Silently scheming, Sightlessly seeking Some savage, spectacular suicide. - That's the translated Cyberiad Poem the blog post based it

Doesn't work too well on desktop either! This is decent but it's also an early hackathon set-up - this is something that you can set up on a sonnet model fairly easily (without the weird CSS slop that anthropic models seem to love

Not to get too reductive - but LLMs are essentially performing massive number-crunching at a textual representation level. If you've ever played around with early NLP models, they can give you some astounding results for aspects like s

I mean we've been using technology to solve long-standing problems in mathematics that no human had been able to do for years. Is Deep Blue sentient because it can beat any human at chess?

Yeah agreed - Just as a future context I tend to close out of articles quickly if they have an AI generated image. Highly reccomend something like Unsplash or Comsos.so - They both have some brilliant visuals, especially public.work - cosmo

This is a far better explanation of my original point! I'm absolutley not saying don't critise AI - but a robust criticism built up with understanding is a far sharper critique than a shallow rejection

by endymion-light 4mo ago
I'm sorry - but you're not going to ban AI no more than you can ban the transistor. You could limit & limit the potential of who uses it - but historically that seems to benefit the few rather than the many.

But given your example - I don't care much for the opinion of someone who believes flu is spread by sinful thoughts. It's good to have a base understanding of something that you'd like to speak about. Are local LLM models als

There's a massive difference between the hatred of a CEO who is actively wanting to replace workers with what is essentially applied mathematics. AI seems more like easy reasoning for mass-layoffs & cost saving measures - and I rar

Not sure about this one - my slightly terrible portfolio website that i'm in the process of completely revamping (bemben.co.uk) managed to mog simon wilsons webblog ( https://simonwillison.net/ ) - which is a far better

I suppose in spirit of the article - it's as if the manhattan project in 1944 was telling the world that theoretically it's 6-12 months away from igniting the entire upper atmosphere.

I'm sure eventually i'll eat my words - but Quantum still seems like a massive marketing gimmick. The technology itself is incredibly interesting, but it feels as if CERN began advertising itself as a marketing stunt - there'

I guess that's partially my original point summarised; I'd like to see this criticism levied at the apps advertising it - rather than using something that doesn't

I didn't take anything as an attack on LLMs. I took it as a severe misunderstanding of how technology works. I specifically outline that I would like to see the margin of error even when integrating actual apps that claim to achieve re

That's not really the same thing as what I'm saying - which is to investigate the applications specifically advertising AI calorie counting capabilities

Yes - my original claim is not to not study it, it's to study it deeper than just surface level, which is my belief at what I've read from the site linked
