Unfortunately, the Gen AI hypesters are doing a lot to make it harder for people to attain literacy in this subdomain. People who are otherwise fairly digitally literate believe fa…

More of a bad thing is worse than less of a bad thing, right?

“ This is the only time I've come across a task a child could do that LLM failed at.” Consider yourself lucky. It’s the people who haven’t run into something like this that will en…

Luddite!!!

It is not exactly like that. Junior coworkers mess up in fairly predictable ways.

“as long as they are well substantiated” Why does almost everyone act as if this is a valid thing to do? We all know that these models cannot verify that something is well substant…

Good point. Also, the fact that I’m adamant that one cannot fly a helicopter to the moon doesn’t mean that I think helicopters are useless. That said, if I’m inundated everyday wit…

Totally agree. Now let me go play with this model I got off of Hugging Face

Remember. How. It works. Please, please remember how it works. It is generating an answer anew, every single time. It is amazing how often it produces a correct answer, but not at …

1. I believe you that it works well 2. Plausible != Correct - ie, would someone notice if they were reading a slightly different but still logical story?

“Almost perfectly” It is freaking amazing that this works almost perfectly. Seriously, it’s mind blowing. The problem is, when you keep in mind how the technology works, you realiz…

Pro tip: on most pumps, the second button from the top on the right side mutes the volume.

This is exactly it! I’m not even that smart and I know that these LLM can never get to the point of being 100% accurate, it’s inherent to how they work. So if I know that, certainl…

For Christ’s sake, the guy spells Garry with two ‘r’s, did y’all expect that he would NOT turn out to be a lunatic???

“A cryptographic hash should uniquely identify a file.” This is not true. It’s not possible to guarantee this. One can be certain that two files DON’T match if they have different …
