We have already thrown just about all the Internet and then some at them. It shows that LLMs can not think or reason. Which isn’t surprising, they weren’t meant to.

it’s not that deep

Says the one who has to put layers upon layers of justifications over the simple statement “domestic violence is bad” to make it sound good if one gender does it.

It took the Germans only 3.5 months to realize he might be a Nazi.

Nah, we knew. And not just from his outfit.

Yup, the way he acted towards the founders of Tesla when he bought their company shows that dude’s had issues for a looong time.

That was a big concern when TPMs first started appearing. I’m glad that that didn’t go the way it might’ve. Yet.

A catapult on every rooftop!

I’ve had similar experiences. Try to do something semi-difficult and it fails, sometimes in an entertainingly shit way at least. Try something simple where I already know the answer? Good chance there’s at least one fundamental issue with the output.

So what are people who use this tech actually getting out of it? Do they just make it regurgitate things from StackOverflow? Do they have a larger tolerance for cleaning up trash? Or do they just not check the output?

“Ska is what a 13 year old hears in their head when they are told they are getting free mozzarella sticks.”

I always think of this song by 7 seconds of love when I read that. Pretty much sums it up.

It’s freeware not open source but I like Monofur. Might not be the most beautiful font but I find it very legible and the distinction between similar characters is quite good. It’s available in the Debian/Ubuntu repositories too.

But in the real world you probably don’t need more precision than 333.3 anyway.

If you really need that level of precision for some reason you can just write 1/3m as a fraction.

I expect it goes like this: Electricity is real and does things, yet it’s so mysterious and unseen! Just like god!

Bought it at launch and just couldn’t cope with the mechanics. Not a fun experience. But then I played it after 2.0 came out and now I have a favorite game. Never really had one before.

Exactly, it’s perfectly kromulent.

Treating an LLM like a novelty oracle seems okay-ish to me, it’s a bit like predicting who will win the game by seeing which bowl a duck will eat from. Except minus the cute duck, of course. At least nobody will take it too serious, and those that do will probably see why they shouldn’t.

Still annoying though.

I remember it like it was yesterday. “Xbox, go home!”

It’s a thing kids say to taunt each other, “girls go to college to get more knowledge, boys go to Jupiter, to get more stupider”.
