This example disproves your point. And LLMs do not just do what we tell them to do. They are perfectly capable of asking “are you sure? this has X, Y, Z consequences you may not li…

Didn’t read the whole thing, but it starts out a lot better than I expected. Most critics are in denial about the state and trajectory of the technology. This critic is not, he jus…

Ha! I have a heterodox view on the taste thing, which is that it’s mostly cope: the models apply something like taste in nearly everything they do, and these taste posts will disap…

No! It’s garbage!

Heh whoops. I thought my other comment didn’t post so I wrote this one instead.

This post is awful! Annoyingly written and zero insight. Most posts about this taste concept are bad (and there have been so many), but this is below average.

Both!

I don’t understand why anyone thinks management of any kind was involved in this at all. It seems much more plausible to me that Jarred just does what he wants. He has said as much…

I think we actually are seeing an app explosion, just not a consumer app explosion.

A joke but also not a joke.

This reads to me as fully written by LLMs. Pangram agrees. Note the (alleged) author misHQ’s comments on this thread are getting downvoted as obvious slop. https://news.ycombinator…

That message is obviously aimed at the government. See the other thread.

All we can say is empirically this is not true. Plenty of people whose full time job is managing rack infra are sick and tired of the customizability of commodity hardware, of the …

Thanks, missed it!

He has said every month for the past three years that there is no technical progress left to be made in LLMs and that there is no more room in the market for inference spending to …
