And yet whenever some achievement is made, the headlines are “Musk achieves great feat”

Not at all. It’s not “how likely is the next word to be X”. That wouldn’t be context.

I’m guessing you didn’t watch the video.

I’m not wrong. There’s mountains of research demonstrating that LLMs encode contextual relationships between words during training.

There’s so much more happening beyond “predicting the next word”. This is one of those unfortunate “dumbing down the science communication” things. It was said once and now it’s just repeated non-stop.

If you really want a better understanding, watch this video:

And before your next response starts with “but Apple…”

Their paper has had many holes poked into it already. Also, it’s not a coincidence their paper released just before their WWDC event which had almost zero AI stuff in it. They flopped so hard on AI that they even have class action lawsuits against them for their false advertising. In fact, it turns out that a lot of their AI demos from last year were completely fabricated and didn’t exist as a product when they announced them. Even some top Apple people only learned of those features during the announcements.

Apple’s paper on LLMs is completely biased in their favour.

it just repeats things which approximate those that have been said before.

That’s not correct and over simplifies how LLMs work. I agree with the spirit of what you’re saying though.

It’s been talked about to death. It’s been analysed to death.

But here’s a very detailed and thorough breakdown:

15 years ago, maybe. But I haven’t had any compatibility issues in many years.

He’s on float plane

I’ll never support anyone on that platform. I’ll never do anything to give LTT a cent.

The funny thing about that story, and the outset that no one covered after the fact, is that Munich reversed direction again and ultimately did go with Linux and open source stacks.

This is corporate AI against open source AI.

Show me where I can download Midjourneys full model to run it locally and then we can agree to call it “open weights”. Unless their base model and training data is also available, it’s not open source.

It’s not like her international protesting license is limited to only climate change. You can dedicate 3 months out of a year to other forms without having to pay for the dual pretest license.

I moved out of Toronto 4 years ago. Just came here for the weekend and I saw 5 cybertrucks in one day.

What I do is just take out the card a plug it into a little USB dongle thing which I can plug into either my phone or laptop.

What’s wild to me is that anyone would do it any other way. I’m astounded that this is somehow a “tip”.

Not even 10 years ago it was simply the way to do it.

I mean sure it has a shared history

Wait, you serious?

Can you make something that works? Of course! Will it work as reliably as something made using better processes? Usually not.

Are you mad?!? My wife might read this!!

So the guys on the street that scam tourists are high profile scammers?

This isn’t even a joke. And I think this might actually happen at some point.

There’s no reason to believe that they’re federal agents if they refuse to show ID.

This is what I don’t understand. What’s then to prevent literally anyone else claiming to be from some other agency to intervene and say they can’t take the person away? And then claim they don’t need to show ID?

I don’t know the reason. I don’t know him personally. Only ever met him over calls.

At my last job we had a sales contact that lived in South Africa (he’s white). At one point a few years ago he dropped off the radar, and we finally heard from him about 6 months later. He had picked up his family and moved to England. Left most of their possessions, abandoned the house, etc. He said things were getting too lawless and felt they had to leave immediately.

I also have a friend who’s from South Africa (also white) who has most of her family back in South Africa, and the stories I hear are chilling. I don’t know this, but it seems like things have been going downhill fast for the past 5 or 6 years now (faster than before).
