    I would laugh for a week if the courts eventually found issues with using LLM content and forced companies to either publish their LLM generated code as public domain or they were …

    If you don’t know how to write well, the AI slop is less obvious. That’s my theory at least, I don’t understand how people can read these nonsense sentences and believe a human act…

    Idk about end of the road, I’m sure they can squeeze out some more performance by curating even more data and doing even more RL. But I would bet that pretty much all of the improv…

    How did you generate the next word? Did you first read pretty much every written work ever published, including blog posts, forum posts, books, etc? Learn how to imagine everything…
