    This maneuver requires you to anticipate all the edge cases or error messages beforehand which is practically not possible in many situations. The moment something unanticipated ha…

    The capacity conundrum here is very unique. Similar to pareto optimization principle: => 80% of engineering problems == budget models like gpt-mini can handle. => 15% of complex re…

    From Slop to Determinism – Shifting the Narrative Space

    What I realized today while sipping my morning cup of chai is that a large part of the present AI hype cycle is just about the 'narrative of AI'. The LLM technology itself is just …

    Thoughts on Asimovian AI Beyond LLMs and Creative Machines

    Might not be a very popular advice or even what you're looking for, but I think Anthropic banning you (or any user for that matter) is a blessing in disguise. The sheer amount of c…

    The AI Conundrum: We are living in highly subsidized, interesting times

    If you trace the timeline of how LLMs went from a technologist's dream to early text-generation toys, to the world-shifting launch of ChatGPT, and finally to the daily drivers of m…
