    Hadn't thought about it this way before, but given that LLMs are auto regressive (use their own data for next data), they're sensitive to error drift in ways that are rather simila…

    While I'm sure some chemical byproducts come out of that, it's important to note that hydrocarbons assuredly make some really nasty stuff along the way [1]. I also wish there was a…
