It can be useful for pure translation tasks and stuff like that where you explicitly don't want creativity of any kind.
Regardless of what? Programming is solved, I hear, with all the 100x productivity PhD-level automated coding loops they have going. Don't make excuses for them when they disprove their own bullshit.
It seems like I simply misunderstood the point of the "game of telephone" metaphor. To be honest, even with your added explanation, I don't fully get why you express it that way. But I think we're in agreement on the…

I don't get that impression at all. LLMs would have avoided the stylistic repetition of "live". Asking an LLM to reformulate the sentences you quoted yields this slop: > There are a lot of people who go through life by…
Last I checked, one kidney might not even suffice to pay for 256GB anymore.
I don't disagree with that, but that's not what was discussed. The person I was replying to was asserting that the Soviet union couldn't have developed semiconductors because unlike the US, it didn't have "a vast…
Nothing recent made me feel quite as old and out of the loop more as the slowness with which I realized that this is about x.com (Twitter), not x.org (the windowing system).

All of the examples on the linked page seem to be "good" outputs. Attribution sounds most useful to me in cases where an LLM produces the typical kind of garbage response: wrong information in the training data,…
This is often quoted, but I wonder whether it's actually strictly true, at least if you keep to a reasonable definition of "works". It's certainly not true in mechanical engineering.
"We promise that we will not enforce" is perhaps a funny way not to grant a license, but making it sound like they do. This seems almost purposefully designed to look open-source to laypeople, while being carefully…
This is intentional? I think delivering lower quality than what was advertised and benchmarked is borderline fraud, but YMMV.
In my experience, there seems to be a limitless supply of newly crowned "AI shamans" sprouting from the deepest corners of LinkedIn. All of them make the laughable claim that hallucinations can be fixed by prompting.…
Postponed.

Maybe that's not the dominant mindset anymore, but I for one would love to use a language that's actually built for functional/reactive programming instead of inventing half-baked JavaScript dialects for that purpose.…
Am I misreading this, or is this person actually implying somewhere in the middle of this unreadable mess of an article that they feed their DIY blood test results into an LLM and then order whatever drugs the machine…

That's no longer as true as it once was. I get the feeling that quite a few people would consider "benevolent dictator for life" an outdated model for open source communities. For better or worse, there's a lot of push…
This is unfortunately a pure “feels over logic” comment that doesn’t engage with the parent poster’s argument at all. The point is impact, not what anyone has “in mind”.
There are plenty of locked down computers in my life already. I don't need or want another system that only runs crap signed by someone, and it doesn't really matter whether that someone is Microsoft or Redhat. A…
