These probably aren't tasks you need done but; LLMs are pretty good at translation between human languages which makes sense since they are language models after all. They are better at this any any other technology. The state of the art image ones can also probably do OCR and handwriting recognition better than any other software though may be expensive to run in large volume. But if you need to take picture of a no…
Not quite true; LLMs are very expensive to run; bert or other tranformer specfically built for translation can be cheaper to run.

#513Off 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…
I use them as a springboard for things I am really unfamiliar with. I'm self-learning electronics at the moment, and so I can ask it things like "what's a common and widely available cooperator." You will not find that answer on a search engine, I don't care how good your Google fu is. It's a weak jack of all trades: it knows a fair amount about the sum of human knowledge (which is objectively super-human), but can't…
I ordered some electronic components / sensors from china, and as it took months to arrive, I forgot exactly what I ordered (I'm noob at this). Simply taking a picture and asking Claude what it was helped a lot. The numbers and letters printed on the components didn't yield relevant results on google.

ChatGPT is literally generating billions in revenue. Cursor is the fastest growing company of all time. This lame HN trope of LLMs having no business model needs to die.

True, but presence of significant revenue is still promising. It's much better to have an "expensive compute" problem than a "nobody wants to pay for the product" problem.

Better a downloadable blob than a non-downloadable one
Cool, that’s not open source though. That’s like a chef giving you chicken instead of beef and calling it vegetarian.
I’d say it’s more like eating Chicken Cordon Bleu and then asking the chef for a recipe, who replies, “Certainly! Step 1) Acquire Chicken Cordon Bleu, preferably cooked. Step 2) if uncooked, cook. Otherwise, consume

#516Controversial opinion but I think the AI game studio idea is a very good one. Not because I think they will make any money off the games, but dogfooding will lead to so much more improvement than relying on feedback from external customers.
Especially on code, think of all the free data you get from the generation-evaluation loop

It's not good news when this competition comes at cost of a gigantic over inflated bubble, in which all the big players keep on sucking billions from investors without even having a business model. This hype will burst sooner than later and will trigger yet another global recession. This is untenable.

Lots of people dervive great value from things that are too easily reproduced to be directly profitable.
Google gives everyone free access to a good spreadsheet tool, even though Microsoft Office exists.
Web browsers are free, despite the value of the entire internet.
Compilers are free, despite the value of all software collectively.
LLMs being really valuable doesn't automatically mean anyone can get rich from them.
I think everyone last year parroting "moat!" was cringe (like Altman of all people wouldn't know about this already, c'mon), but you do actually need something that other people don't have. I expect Altman's already got stuff in mind, but he's hardly the only one, and that means it's a game of "which multibillionaire with lots of experience building companies will win?", and that's hard for non-skilled normies (in this case incluing me) to guess.

#520Credit to the engineers that built this, but it fills me with rage that Elon has this sort of unchecked power.
How long before this starts getting deployed in safety critical applications or government decision making processes?
With no oversight because Elon seems to have the power to dismiss the people responsible for investigating him.
Anyone not scared by this concentration of power needs to pick up a book.
