    I thought exactly the same at first. But then i wondered if that still holds true with today's advanced thinking, RLHF involved, frontier models. I guess to a certain extend it did…

    Could someone explain to me, why rare books are so precious for them? Say i feed the largest LLM a book of an alien civilisation, that it definitely hasn't seen before. Then this t…

    Everybody knows that. You contact NASA. Then a black helicopter will pick you up, bring you to an airbase and fly you straight to the white house, where you will be introduced to t…

    This is so true. It has so much potential to help with humanity's actual problems. But no, lets use it to manipulate people even more.

    I'm wondering if Pianoteq [0] works similarly. [0] https://www.modartt.com/pianoteq_overview Awesome LaTeX-inspired webdesign btw.!

    Why is that harder? Because require solving PDEs, aren't they?

    Exactly. For solving problems every help is a blessing. It's just clashing with our legacy society system. This system forces us to have jobs. But the real problems humanity is fac…

    Interesting. Yes, functional programming feels a lot more mathy than procedural or OOP.
