@nopatience Maybe a new spin on the North Korean remote worker setup? After the presentation they'll start with the whole "need a known face in Sweden" bit. But it's different - every time I've been sent this it has been about the "need a local face" right from the start.

Almost every day I see someone on Mastodon expressing the belief that LLMs work by "regurgitating their training data"*. Besides this being provably false by just looking at the size of a model file vs what it then would contain, it's also a dated view. It could sort of be seen to have been […]
