    Let's say you collect stamps. I think it's a stupid and morally irresponsible way of using your free time (you should be socializing or doing sports or learning something new). Jus…

    So Chinese LLMs are bad actors, but USA LLMs are the good guys? I don't see it that way, but I'm sure from an American perspective that how it seems.

    This sounds like a very negative comment and with many generalizations. Please consider thinking about what your comments bring to the discussion

    I see a lot of people asking "what year it is" or some other question that tests knowledge lf current events. To me it sounds like a misunderstanding of what an LLM + retrieval aug…

    Not in India, but I've seen parents here sit down at a restaurant table and shove a cell phone in front of a toddler the second they sit down. They don't allow the kid to even get …

    Faang salary only exists on the US. Even the richest countries in Europe don't have those salaries for programmers (maybe if you work on finance or some niche subject).

    In this part of the world, we're more worried about what the US government can do to us than what the Chinese can do. In other words, for many people in the world that wouldn't be …

    Not an argentinean, but I don't think that's the right way to look at it. You can exchange dollars in any country and in many you can directly pay in stores if the storekeeper is f…

    The language is not dumb. The writing system that people chose is...not that great (and you can call it dumb if you like). There was a choice between respecting phonetics or maximi…

    Sounds like a two-sided market, where a company gets their value from being able to connect one side (the artists) with the other one (the venues). What I find strange is that peop…

    Also 2 == 2. You're not making an argument, you're just saying that LLMs aren't human.
