Off topic, but just in case: is there a good reference on how people actually use LLMs on a daily basis ? All my attempts so far have been pretty underwhelming: * when I use chatbots as search engines, I'm very quickly disappointed by obvious hallucinations * I ended up disabling github copilot because it was just "auto-complete on steroids" at best, and "auto-complete on mushrooms" at worst * I rarely have use cases…

Last night I was about to start working on a lot of text I need to submit my startup to a government funding program. Questions like "describe what your startup does", "describe your market" and things like that. Tens of fields which I estimated would take me a week and a half to do it right, if I wasn't going to pause all my other activities.

Then I had a better idea: I spent 20 minutes baby wearing, walking and dictating everything about my startup to ChatGPT. Later I took all that text and labeled it as a brain dump, plus my product support portal and some screenshots of my marketing material. Gave it all to ChatGPT again and asked it to answer each of the questions in the form. That's it. I have a pretty good version 1 which I can revise today and be done with it.

Many, many hours saved. I have tens of examples like that.

The product documentation I provided it with was also created with the help of GPT, and that saved me even more time.

>Not available in Europe currently I hate how its the same story for every new AI technology. If someone can tell me who to vote for or where to protest to change this awful EU law, that would be great.

totally agree. And this is one of the reasons the EU is falling more and more behind, all the silly regulations.

The EU regulations are there to protect the average citizen, not to help the 1% run wild with whatever business idea they have. You personally might not like it, but the non-entrepreneurs, which is most people, are pretty satisfied that the laws in the EU are more focused on the citizen and their rights and not on boosting the shareholders' profits.

Nazis would incarcerate people into work camps and turn them into soap or hang them in public squares, kind of different than what Elon did. There's a pretty big gap between doing something in poor taste like Nazi salutes in public because you have the intellectual maturity of a 12 year old edge-lord on Xbox live seeking attention, and being an a actual Nazi committing crimes against humanity.

When everyone goes around calling everyone they hate a Nazi, it only desensitizes people to the real Nazi behavior, kind of like the boy who cried wolf, since there's people out there committing actual atrocities against humans going under the public radar because they never do the Nazi salutes on camera to not draw attention. So then the Nazi term starts to loose any meaning, kind of like the overuse of calling everything "woke" today.

The problem is people as a whole are retarded due to mob behavior and too focused on optics and only judge based on feelings rather than facts, that's how we have actual criminal Nazis going free under the radar while innocent people being swatted and doxxed because they said something right wing on social media. Not all Nazis today wear jackboots and do heils, plenty go about appearing like normal people in public, they could even be your neighbor, police officer or local congressman.

So save your anger for those people instead, as Elon is just a 3 year old throwing tantrums seeking attention, annoying but relatively harmless. If people stopped giving him so much attention, he'd stop doing it.

I liked Grok 3 fiction writing style; catches lots of physics of mundane situations such as ringing echo in a closed bathroom we all know well; the prose feels very lively as the result. Kinda like R1 makes situations sharp with details, Grok 3 makes the other way around - rounded by using details.

That sounds like very evocative prose. Would you be up for sharing some of that fiction? I haven’t tried Grok 3 for that purpose and now I’m curious.

And Anthropic not even in the top 10 ...

I keep hearing about Claude's impressive coding skills (compared to its benches) yet, not evident for me (I use the web version, not cline). Compared to 4o it's not that great.

Lol no company is making money using 4o, however thanks to claude sonnet programms like Cursor are usable lol. 4o agents suck, just try it instead of talking

Update: Now I am a person who has used Grok 3 to generate evocative fiction (using your description as the catalyst): https://x.com/i/grok/share/r8XR6IdeuzDLDFTL7xDHLuADO

I can honestly tell you from my experience that Sonnet 3.5s coding skills did things no other models did right last year during the summer, this was even though the benchmarks showed that it wasn't the best performing at coding tasks.

There are two answers to this. Answer 1: Some people think that LLMs are a path to the singularity, a self-improving intelligent program that will vastly exceed human intelligence and will be able to increase its knowledge exponentially, quickly answering all answerable scientific questions. Answer 2: LLM companies need to keep the hype train rolling. I didn't watch the whole clip; I jumped around a bit, but I notice…

There's a more short-term goal for Grok, which is to replace what is left of the federal government with AI. That will significantly boost the money train, but is also a utopian (for some, dystopian for others) goal of replacing the expensive 'deep state' with a slim set of impartial algorithms.

Glad I don't live in the US, that sounds like a miserable idea.

I don't understand how and why Grok would be related to "understanding the nature of the universe", as Musk puts it. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but they basically just burned more cash than any human should have to buy Nvidia GPUs and make them predict natural language, right? So, they are somewhat on-par with all the other companies that did the same. This is not innovation, this is baseless hype over a mediocr…

I absolutely hate the Elon hypetrain, but I also don't understand the social media hate I see for AI, like comparing every ChatGPT answer to one wasted bottle of water. Can we stop for a second and just marvel at a new piece of human ingenuity? Let's not give Elon too much credit, but I think that AI as a whole helps us all understand the nature of intelligence, and therefore humans' place in the universe. One of the…

LLMs don't make me question what we know about humans and thinking. They are really good at convincing us that they're good, but really, that's other humans building stuff to convince us that it's good. There is no intelligence here, other than the perceived intelligence of predicting words intelligent people have written previously.
