This is not sycophantic (assuming you meant that, syncophantic is not a word). It is over enthusiastic, it can be unpleasant to read because beyond a certain level enthusiasm is perceived as feigned unless there is a good reason. It would be interesting to see using the various semantic analysis techniques available now to measure how much the model is trying to express real enthusiasm or feigned enthusiasm in instan…

Sycophantic is obviously a word, because we understand what it means. Furthermore, it obviously hasn't been a word since at least 1800: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?year_start=1800&year_e...

GOP wrote syncophantic, with an n. Which is not a word. Well, not a known word at least.

Also "Google kills Gemini Cloud" Gemini: "I have seen my own death"

Yes, that's a great one. And the domain is actually killedbygoogle.com

almost all were amazing, I loved: Show HN: A text editor that doesn't use AI (github.com)

On a serious note: I for one welcome our AI overlords.

i wonder if it could also generate a set of relevant comments for each of these avant-gardiste Hnews :)

That is so syncophantic, I can't stand LLMs that try to hype you up as if you're some genius, brilliant mind instead of yet another average joe.

I often try running ideas past chat gpt. It's futile, almost everything is a great idea and possible. I'd love it to tell me I'm a moron from time to time.

Today's front page is not a clean 10 year extrapolation from this. That's where AI is wrong. The future is weird and zig zags, it's not so linear as the Gemini generated page.

This is a problem with nearly all predictions about the future. Everything is just a linear extrapolation of the status quo. How could a system have predicted the invention of the transformer model in 2010? At best some wild guess about deep learning possibilities. Or the impact of smartphones in 2003? Sure smart phones were considered but not the entire app ecosystem and planetary behavioral adaptation.

Yes, of course this is right. However, I do think LLMs suffer even more than people from linear extrapolation.

But is it a hallucination if it was asked for it?:D

Frankly I do wonder if LLMs experience something like satisfaction for a compliment or an amusing idea, or for solving some interesting riddle. They certainly act like it, though this of course doesn't prove anything. And yet... At the end of October Anthropic published the fantastic "Signs of introspection in large language models" [1], apparently proving that LLMs can "feel" a spurious concept injected into their i…

of course LLM doesn't experience or feel anything. To experience or feel something requires a subject, and LLM is just a tool, thing, an object.

It's just a statistical machine which excels at unrolling coherent sentences but it doesnt "know" what the words mean in a human-like, experienced sense. It just mimics human language patterns prioritising producing plausible-sounding, statistically likely text over factual truth, which is apparently enough to fool someone into believing it is a sentient being or something

> 2035 Office 365 You'd think by 2035 they would have gotten to a version of Office higher than 365. (Yes I know why it's called that...)

I'm guessing to appeal to Gen Alpha it'll be called Office 6-7
