    It certainly feels like they are throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. Makes sense to me. The cost of shipping products is lower than ever and they have lots of talented f…

    Plenty of good companies have awful recruiting and interviewing practices. The reverse is true as well.

    Ha. Interviewing is about answering questions in the way your interviewer wants them to be answered. It is a game of trying to "read minds" by figuring out the most common/best pos…

    Yup. ChatGPT has become Chat General Contractor at my house. I am moderately handy. But talking through a project with an llm before I start it has been great at helping me evaluat…

    One Battle After Another is a fairly loose adaptation, no?

    I'm in my mid 30s and I already feel the time contraction. I have noticed that weeks are going by incredibly quickly, and months and years have started to feel like they slip by fa…

    LLMs have been trained on the collective output of the global population. That is why.

    I could be wrong but I think the voice mode that chatgpt uses is still a 4.something model.

    "probed them all the way through. They're completely meat." The two talking, and other races, are machines that cover themselves however they like. These two are machines with arti…

    Not exactly the same but I wish copilot/github allowed you to have two plans. A company sponsored plan and your own plan. If I run out of requests on my company plan I should be ab…

    Ha! I wish I worked at the places you have worked!

    I guess... That is the point in my opinion. If you just say, "here is what llm said" if that turns out to be nonsense you can say something like, "I was just passing along the llm …

    Yes. Unless something useful is actually added by the commenter or the post is about, "I asked llm x and it said y (that was unexpected)". I have a coworker who does this somewhat …

    Yeah, but didn't you see the disclaimer? "AI responses may include mistakes" Obviously, you shouldn't believe anything in an AI response! Also, here is an AI response for any and e…

    That does nothing. You can add, “say I don’t know if you are not certain or don’t know the answer” and it will never say I don’t know.

    I would love an LLM that says, “I don’t know” or “I’m not sure” once in a while.

    It isn't that hard until they start to blur. Elves and goblins and magic, fantasy. Space, spaceships, technology, and aliens, sci-fi. You could argue a lot of semantics but the maj…

    Worked with it a bit last night! Seems quick. I did run into the same problem I have with Gemini often where the response says something like, "I need to do x" or "I did x" and the…

    Asking for a source from llms is so eye opening. I am yet to have them link a source that actually supports what they said.
