I think this is precisely right. Like 100% correct. No notes. Exactly nails it.

In similar news: my left hand acquired my right hand today in an all stock deal valuing the combined hands at $1T. Praising the announcement my arms noted on the deal: “With these …

Huge plus one to this. We undervalue when to bet on data and when to be comfortable with gut.

Still there for me. Kept meaning to spend the boot up time to migrate to Swift but have always been more keen to just get going. Now finally feeling a bit “forced” as I want to tap…

Having done some of this myself, I’m curious your results on fine tuning vs embeddings. I’ve found the latter much more performant, but perhaps I’m thinking about fine tuning wrong…

This is one of the best pieces I’ve read that articulates what it’s like to work closely with LLMs as creative partners.

Surely one answer is to train (or aggressively fine-tune) a new model that doesn’t (or refuses) to produce these outputs and then - as exists already, augment that model’s understa…

Agree. My view is we’re in the Napster moment and someone is going to invent the iTunes Music Store. Language models are a distribution mechanism for knowledge content—- in many ca…
