Happy new semester! I won't return to the classroom until next October, so I will be giving myself a crash course on open-sourced LLMs and writing for the next few months. (It is not a sabbatical...just a weird turn of events since I taught two large lectures this fall...the load was fullfilled).

In this episode of "I just discovered the Humanities and Social Sciences": Words have deep cultural etymological roots, require intersubjective and contextual understanding, and have colloquial usage. I bet no one knew that before LLMs, everyone.
X post from Nate SIlver (verified): "I think one of my weird takeaways from looking at LLMs is that language is more strategic than was generally assumed and extremely rich in implicit information." 7:21 PM Aug 1, 2023 551.3k views
