yea, this seems to be the underlying thread here. Dunno why the author is so concerned with getting an LLM to imitate his writing style.
a very expensive sprint
Nice point. I agree with this, and it implies that it's useless to apply the category of creativity to LLMs (at least wrt interpolation and extrapolation), and even more useless to suggest that we'll cross the…
so you're saying the difference b/w extrapolation and interpolation is subjective unless the difference is defined tautologically?
The more I read these think-pieces on AI the clearer it is to see that they have very little to do with LLM technology, and are really just talking about the collapse of the set of values constructed during the…
It's rare to see posts like this with such pure, crystalized ideology.
I am personally very excited by the development of a medical AI-harness that would 1. operates against a well-defined DB of medical studies 2. intakes my basic demographics, vital signs and medical history 3. quantify…
I like the idea of small, artisinal, solar-farm-to-desk DataCenters.
wow - so you pmuch baked this kind of testing into your day to day work. Might not be a bad startup idea to create a harness that can do this automagically.
How do you go about comparing models? Personally, I've found that the quality of output is overwhelmingly dictated by the quality of the input I give it - and that the quality of input differs massively depending on the…
Given that today there's a concerted effort to effect a similar invention today wrt AI, this book is highly relevant.
> I think the only way to find out what data is meaningful is to collect and analyze more of it So the idea is to just muck around with data, then ???, then make people healthier? To a hammer, every problem looks like a…
Having children is profoundly more fulfilling and pleasurable than the surface-level pleasures you listed. "hedonism" doesn't create a lack of children, if anything people are not hedonistic enough, but for economic…
Sounds like subsidiarity to me
People become tech-overloads because they are blind to these sorts of beauties - and that'd be fine if it wasn't for the fact that we have collectively allowed these people to come to power and have fallen for their…
Just following orders huh...
I have yet to read the whole thing - but I agree that the Church's view of intelligence is not to the level of sophistication needed to counter the Valley's pantheistic view of intelligence. I think that is because of…
Humanity was not made to scale quickly. The trouble we have nowadays is that there is no backpressure, largely because the systems that generated that backpressure were dismantled in the name of "freedom" and other…
The "we must do it or someone else will" logic is pernicious and dehumanizes both the enemy and the supposed good-guy. I cannot count how many times it's been used after the first couple answers to "why are we doing…
