    The saltines is basically inappropriate.

    The problem is with the person, not the tool. Get rid of people who can't think critically, replace them with people who can.

    And I didn't suggest how to do so. I implied that there is an issue with the quality of their coworkers, not ChatGPT.

    That sounds to me less of an issue with ChatGPT, and more with having colleagues that don't understand how to engage in reasonable discussion or evaluate information correctly.

    What matters is whether the suggestions are actually good, not where they came from.

    I don't understand what you're pushing back against, but I'm not standing there.

    I assumed it was in reference to llama.cpp. It's a weak assumption, though.

    It's an LLM technology that allows certain models to run on CPUs rather than big beefy GPUs. Makes running locally viable for consumers.

    Again, I acknowledge that citations have value and are important and desirable as a feature of how we communicate. But citations did not begin their rise a standard until the 1900s…

    Imagine being an actual woman and having to deal with this bullshit all the fucking time. I have no idea how the hell they do it. Must be low-level torture.

    I didn't ignore it. But we do not require citations for every statement. Statements have value, citations notwithstanding.

    I don't have a position on that, and there's not one implied by my comment, which is why I am unsure why the commenter assumes one.

    This is not correct. You can get an LLM to improve reasoning through iteration and interrogation. By changing the content in its context window you can evolve a conversation quite …

    > cannot reason anybody out of something that they want to believe. Especially when your own reasons are not the slam dunk you think they are.

    I totally fail to see how you got that from my comment.

    It absolutely is useful and one of the most significant points in this comment section. People are applying standards to LLMs that don't exist elsewhere. They don't exist elsewhere…

    What are the citations actually required for though? Another way to ask this is: what value remains without them? I'll add this as well: humans produced valuable knowledge for thou…

    That is not correct. You can interrogate an LLM. You can evaluate its responses in the course of interrogation. You can judge whether those responses are coherent internally and co…

    I'm not referring to hallucinations. I'm referring to novel relationships drawn between datum in the corpus that are a result of training and inference. This is apparent in somethi…
