What an unpleasant read
The loneliness could take him to dark places. I’ve been there. I hope he finds someone.
This really does - I don't mean it in a disparaging way - read like a mid-life crisis writing. Having to come to terms with the fact that the "old world" is not the current world anymore, which is too bad, because you like the old one, and you don't quite fit in the new one either. This feeling has existed across generations and most of us have to go through it eventually. The world, however, is not any less real tha…
Might also be that but his takes have also been…unique
That’s also why I think the blog is liked. Sometimes the takes a bad. Sometimes they are novel and good

In the vast majority of cases you / anyone won't even reach that part (7piece / 8piece for some positions). > ChatGPT does not know more than you Yes, yes it does. Your fallacy is that you confuse knowledge with "knowing what to do when you don't have that kn…
LLms are a cleverly encoded database. It is a lookup. A very fast librarian with a select material of reference books and adept at speed reading could give the same answers as LLMs. A bit slower of course. Most of the time an encyclopedia would suffice and be more accurate than the hallucinating ghosts in the machine. EDIT: The insane downvoters can go back to their AI girlfriends. The comment was meant for thinking…
