#52Just like the map isn't the territory, so summaries are not the content nor the library fillings the actual books. If I want to read a post, a book, a forum, I want to read exactly that, not a simulacrum built by arcane mathematical algorithms.

#53Mozilla's llamafile project is designed to enable LLMs to be preserved for historical purposes. They ship the weights and all the necessary software in a deterministic dependency-free single-file executable. If you save your llamafiles, you should be able to run them in fifty years and have the outputs be exactly the same as what you'd get today. Please support Mozilla in their efforts to ensure this special moment i…

#54That's really what these are: something analogous to JPEG for language, and queryable in natural language. Tangent: I was thinking the other day: these are not AI in the sense that they are not primarily intelligence . I still don't see much evidence of that. What they do give me is superhuman memory. The main thing I use them for is search, research, and a "rubber duck" that talks back, and it's like having an inter…
Yes!
> artificial memory
Well, "yes", kind of.

I think "it's just compression" and "it's just parroting" are flawed metaphors. Especially when the model was trained with RLHF and RL/reasoning. Maybe a better metaphor is "LLM is like a piano, I play the keyboard and it makes 'music'". Or maybe it's a bycicle, I push the pedals and it takes me where I point it.

#56I don't think the big scientific publishers (now, in our time) will ever fail, they are RICH!

#57I love the title "Big LLMs" because it means that we are now making a distinction between big LLMs and minute LLMs and maybe medium LLMs. I'd like to propose the we call them "Tall LLMs", "Grande LLMs", and "Venti LLMs" just to be precise.
LLM, LLM 2.0, LLM 3.0, Mini LLM, Micro LLM, LLM C.
I really appreciated the way they managed to come up with a new naming scheme each time, usually used exactly once.

Big LLM is too long as a name. We should agree on calling them BLLMs. Surely everyone is going to remember what the letters stand for.

Why not LLLM for large LLM’s and SLLM for small LLM’s, assuming there is no middle ground
