On a related note - would it be easier, instead of doing a benchmark sweep across the whole NxN set of start-end pairs for which layers to modify, to instead measure cross-correlat…

I think that "hovering the code" and "broken rhythm" are correlated, but still separate issues. There are parts of my code (e.g. vibe-coded mockups) that I don't look at the code o…

Exactly! I now feel bad for not thinking of that example, thank you.

There's a whole industry of "illusions" humans fail for: optical, word plays (including large parts of comedy), the Penn & Teller type, etc. Yet no one claims these are indicators …

This is very "distant" suggestion if you enjoyed Antimemetics, but The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro is another one of my favourites, and it too explores this idea of unreliable and…

First, that's quite a sad view of incentives structures. Second, you can't be serious in thinking that "worker worried they might be fired" puts the person in charge closer to the …

I don't see why his involvement, explaining to his team how exactly to build a piece, is any different from a developer explaining to an LLM how to build a certain feature, when it…

This makes no sense to me. There are plenty of artists out there (e.g. El Anatsui), not to mention whole professions such as architects, who do not interact directly with what they…

I always send myself messages as bookmarks, notrs, and general "here's an idea I might want to come back to later". It's an awful system when it comes to discoverability (I do it i…

How do you look at hiring "experienced people" vs. "enthusiastic interns" on something like this? More generally, how quickly do you think the team will grow, and what the ratio sh…

Could you give an example of content where such critical distilation would be useful to you?

Interested in this as well - do you already work on this somewhere out in the open?

As someone who daily sends messages to myself as a form of notetaking, for everything from todos and shoplists to ideas and bookmarks, I've thought about this a lot . The only conc…

Great work! Any plans to open up an API?

I'm always drawn to these types of initiatives, and your whitepaper looks (at least with my very limited knowledge of the domain) interesting. What I am always wondering, and maybe…

So if the product from OP used Azure OpenAI, it would be okay? You say "companies happily pay up", but the pricing is exactly the same (source: my company is paying for both APIs).…

That (LLM -> SQL -> Pandas using PandaSQL) was my approach with Datasloth [1] some time ago. It then grew into Qluent [2] which I now work on full time, along the lines of what the…

Thank you for the information. I'm sure there are a lot of people who'd be interested in the full 1 hour talk, if you ever find time to film it.

What an amazing person. I first learned about Clifford when he did his TED talk, and I was immediately a fan. The quote from the Hayes Hall Bell Tower resonated, and stayed with me…
