Oliver 'kfsone' Smith @kfsone.bsky.social · 04/09/2025A significant portion of what made Python so popular was its stability. For a decade, for most people, Python 2.7 was Python. Python 3 is imbued with a level of "live at head" zeitgeist that is neither of complete nor limited-but-manageable. 010

Oliver 'kfsone' Smith @kfsone.bsky.social · 20/06/2025The "evidence" that LLMs can think is that we can see patterns in how they behave that are analogous to how brains work, esp human brains. This fundamentally lacks substance, context, or scale, or understanding. This is not inherently unique to LLMs, it's an aspect of the software they use. 110
Oliver 'kfsone' Smith @kfsone.bsky.social · 22/05/2025If you ask an LLM a question about itself, the answer depends on the documentation the model was trained on.
