I think it influenced it positively. It led me to computer science and taught me team work and online collaboration skills that I still use today.

I don’t think you’re working with OpenAI to cure cancer. I think you’re working with actual scientists rather than statistical regurgitations.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard pervasive used in a positive context.

I don’t think this is a balanced view on LLMs. I particularly found it weird to liken LLM creation as akin to the global race for a covid vaccine.

There are a lot of assumptions about the pace of improvement (which is already tapering rapidly). There is no consideration for the inherent biases that are built into these LLMs. LLMs make shit up all the time. They don’t think. They can be easily tricked and manipulated at multiple stages in the training and use.

I think LLMs will change things for a lot of industries, absolutely, but there is a limit.

AGI and simulated reasoning would have figured this out. /s

I bought faux-meat burger patties at an Aussie supermarket recently which were cheaper than the cheapest real-meat products. Was actually really really surprised to see the inflection point was reached.

We’re watching the collapse of an empire in real time. Will be a fun few decades I think.

(Edit: also, this article is so loaded with eye rolling commentary - like are we really using tweets from Elon as evidence of election fraud? Jesus Christ it sounds like Dem political conspiracy theories. The entire world just did another collective cringe)
