Just pass that through a third llm.

I believe NetFlix actually had a plan to stream movies from the start (hence the name) and just did the DVD shipping as a way to get started.

Intelligence seems to boil down to an approximation of reality. The only scientific output is prediction. If we want to know what happens next just wait. If we want to predict what…

That is a good point. It is impressive. Llms from two years ago were impressive, llms a year ago were impressive, and from a month ago even more impressive. Still, getting "somethi…

This is entirely too charitable. Basically all this proves is that the agent could run in a loop for a week or so, did anyone doubt that? They marketed as if we were really close t…

> I can definitely believe that in 2026 someone at their computer with access to money can send the right emails and make the right bank transfers to get real people to grow corn f…

One definition of analysis is: The process of separating something into its constituent elements. I think when someone designs a software system, this is the root process, to break…

Maybe one day our knee jerk reactionary outrage will be quelled not by any enlightenment but because we are forced to grow weary of falling prey to phishing attacks. I'd feel prett…

I've seen the following quote. "The energy consumed per text prompt for Gemini Apps has been reduced by 33x over the past 12 months." My thinking is that if Google can give away LL…

GraalVM supports running javascript in a sandbox with a bunch of convenient options for running untrusted code. https://www.graalvm.org/latest/security-guide/sandboxing/

I get this take, but given the state of the world (the US anyways), I find it hard to trust anyone with any kind of profit motive. I feel like any information can’t be taken as fac…

I can’t imagine this is not happening. There exists the will, the means and the motivation, with not a small dose of what pg might call naughtiness.

When I tried the Gemini/AI formula it didn’t work very well, gpt-5 mini or nano are cheap and generally do what you want if you are asking something straightforward about a piece o…

Don't know about excel, but for Google Sheets. You can ask chatgpt to write you a appsscript custom function e.g CALL_OPENAI. Then you can pass in variables into. =CALL_OPEN("Class…

That makes sense for why they are so much better at writing code than actually following the steps the same code specifies. Curious, is anyone training in adversarial simulations? …

It seems like there is a bunch of research/working implementations that allow efficient fine tuning of models. Additionally there are ways to tune the model to outcomes vs training…

I think this is the wrong take. I don’t agree that people are good or bad, I think actions are, and there are lots of reasons and motivations a person can end up enabling a bad sit…
