While there are ways to manage it with supervision, the impulses of every model are clear and counterproductive. All code is littered CoT in comments and insane decisions. Its attention is limited and it saturates fast, neutralizing one of

Look, you're must not saying anything. "If done right ... you probably wouldn’t care". Yes, correct. It's done bad, so I don't like it, and the visible slack is a sign of slack. Would you like to push back in some w

Nice, now add slackers and non-writers to the equation.

Quick tip to make AI code better is just delete the comments. Usually they’re CoT that shouldn’t be there.

Stretching nothing, but encompassing a fairly standard payload. “The crisis of men is they don’t trust us, the authorities.” No need to pin down why. We’ve poisoned the well so the article is done.

But I do know them, and so do you, and they’re signs of cost cutting partly for the reason you mention. They’re the careless, basic “no-brainer” choice of models, plus a lack of editing, or a very light “edit” in which obvious, even famous

This is logical, but it’s also a lemon market. You don’t know the author, editor and publisher did anything of the sort, unless you’re the sort of person who doesn’t need the book. But if you do see an LLMism, it’s a strong sign of cost-cut

This, and the fact that GPT is writing for you personally. A text written to persuade a publisher, or to manipulate Google results, has the deck stacked hard against it vs. asking even a cheap AI that can size you up personally.

This is the bar with other works as well. If you would hire it buy anything that’s just a mindless AI dump, why not use your $5/mo GPT sub?

This goes back far, and I’ve even seen what appear to be shills for random B-list celebrities. Add SEO business as usual, political campaigns, international influence and the SnR is just radio static.

No, I’m referring to something else. Not the next word task. Being able to know whether you know something. Next time you encounter a child, ask them something they’re likely to be ignorant of, and see they’re able to say “I don’t know”.

“trip themselves in their attempts at achieving a task” I see this a lot in Claude Code. I assume it has to do with the training structure. Example is “fallbacks”. Claude constantly sprinkles “fallbacks” in the code, even when I ask it not

It’s really not like that. If I ask you to tell me about a geographical place I just made up, you can trivially and generally instantly recognize you don’t recognize it. A child can do this. You wouldn’t be able to hold a job or generally g

Their lack of self reference is a core problem that undergirds a lot of faults that do occur during inference, but their breadth + the agent harness successfully covers it well, so it requires a bit of poking to witness. The “hallucination”

Alas, he is not, and two things are true for him: 1. AI models produce consistent output, so it looks the same everywhere, which makes you look like a hustler if you use it for copywriting or design. 2. Customers who are fine with this can

> always picks its own If you hate AI writing enough, this turns AI filters into a kind of humiliation ritual. AI will derank normal business writing for human readers, and uprank inflated, verbose, tic-heavy slop. So you have to put the

“let the embedding be a latent space that forms naturally when training the network” The embeddings are produced in concert with the network, to serve the network, and not created as a separate step. It’s actually very cool The look-up tabl

Embeddings are there to make continuous-space identities so you can run them through a differentiable model. Without this the tokens (no matter your granularity) are pure surrogate identities, and you can’t run a gradient through them. You

I migrated a client off for the same reason. The “app platform” ran behind Cloudflare, but they run the Cloudflare, so I couldn’t put it behind my own Cloudflare, nor could I configure it and solve the problem. Moved the entire thing to Het

Nobody thinks customer service agents are real, realistic or useful. EU just passes laws.

Yes, this. Comprehension is the point. We could map this to something like physics. If a man on a horse can shoot another man with a bow, empirically he makes correct predictions on gravity, wind and relative motion. But he can’t explain it

One problem here with the protocols is the field isn't yet so stable. Most people are copying OpenAI's endpoint, and so you have "OpenAI compatible", but there are always little hairs on it. Case in point, OpenAI itself

The "merging" is the "convergence" meme. Tech journos like it because they can say "the coming unification" and it has a kind of mythic taste and they're casual thinkers. If (when?) Apple goes down that pa

A lot of weirdness in their style is the fact they think in-band. Notice it "calls its attacks" when writing, like Goku shouting "solar flare" and doing a solar flare. To write an honest answer, it says, "Here'

"ChatGPT says" can be annoying but it's unequivocally better than passing ChatGPT off as yourself. Quoting it for convenience ("the relevant part") --- ok, great. Does it look lazy? Well, if you respond _as its sock
