    I suppose the argument is in reverse. They are so ubiquitous, they don’t really have to be good anymore to capture the market.

    I wonder if clues like this will be what are written in history books as the beginning of the bubble bursting.

    Language is just a shortcut to logic. LLMs don’t seem to have the capacity to logic, they just pattern match. LLMs seem conscious because they are pattern matching against all of h…

    Yeah dealing with this now, where my CTO is shipping features that are producing plausible results but just wrong. So, now I gotta spend all day explaining the math behind certain …

    Disclaimer: I’m not fluent in Arabic by any means, but the stretched out to both margins style looks very Quranic to me. I don’t think it looks appropriate for say, a message about…
