I have edited my tweet to remove the part where I said “Tom St Denis did not use an LLM to learn Python.”Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention and I apologize for any confusion caused by my error.

If I’m knowledgeable on a subject I don’t *need* an LLM. If I’m not knowledgeable on a subject I don’t *trust* an LLM.

Don’t leave the people who worked for decades to achieve this outcome out of your explanation of how we got here. Don’t leave out the voters and non-voters who kept Republicans in power for decades while they worked toward this. It isn’t only the Dems who failed, it’s all of us.

It’s become a signifier of transparency and honesty. “This isn’t a big production, I’m just talking—off the cuff, no bullshit—to YOU, the listener”

Hey I’m not trying to be an asshole but there’s a difference between assuming a thing is true because it sounds right and knowing a thing is true because you have evidence, and that difference is studies like this

Calling incorrect answers “Hallucinations” is a marketing gimmick too! To perceive something that isn’t real requires the capacity to perceive, and that’s just fundamentally not how LLMs work.

The threat has been evolving so fast. Is there a consensus developing around what that counter UAS capability will look like, or is it still too early to know?

I wonder if the high/low mix acquisition strategy gets called into question by the proliferation of cheap, accurate, long range weapons? Put differently, if your fancy expensive stuff can get blapped by a guy with a DJI, does that mean you need more of the fancy stuff, or less?

Their capacity to calculate relationships between symbols does not confer on them the capacity to interpret symbols. It’s vital that people comprehend the distinction, and saying LLMs “understand” something does real harm by blurring it.

You just said LLMs “‘understand’ the knowledge graph”, a mischaracterization of how they function that plays directly into the misleading marketing efforts of the companies that produce them. LLMs don’t and can’t parse meaning! Ascribing understanding to them is the opposite of technically precise!

It used to be why, but the “act crazy as a tactic” Republicans have all been chased out of the party. Only the wild-eyed true believers and the habitual liars remain.

We should just bring in people from other places instead. Actual adults who can read and count and use the computer, unlike babies who can’t do any of that shit

We’re already going really, really fast just to stay in orbit. Going in requires slowing down by *VERY LARGE NUMBER*. Going out requires speeding up by *much smaller but still very large number*.

I agree, but I think the political imbalances that allowed the Republican Party, and through them the country, to be fully captured by its most extreme fringe are rooted in and protected by white supremacy. If we don’t attack that head on we’ll never be able to build a real functioning democracy.
