This is not the same technology as LLMs, these are machine learning techniques that have been around for a while.

.....do you have any evidence for that last point or just vibes?

It is a marketing maneuver by the companies pushing the chatbots to lump this in with them. Don't fall for it. We can have machine learning without LLMs.

Are cats truly unique in their obsession with sitting in boxes? If you had access to box of sufficient size, wouldn't you want to sit in it?

Hey I have a great idea for our sports league we should make a bunch of high-profile games be played on courts that look bad in person and also bad on TV. And also the players hate them and might get injured more on them. What do you all think?

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

McCollum was first arrested in 1980,[7] at age 15, when he drove an E subway train with passengers for six stops.[6] While imprisoned at Rikers Island, he wrote to the New York City Department of Correction and asked if he could drive one of their buses.

There is of course the GOAT Darius Mccollum, who has the honor of being the first search result for "nyc train guy" (I think he would be genuinely happy to know this) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_...

Man who took Hamilton bus on joy ride 'did a great job' driving, left no dings, say police | CBC News He made several stops along the way, allowing passengers to get on and off, police say. He was then arrested.

I want to compile a list of all the occurrences of my favorite news story, "Autistic person hijacks public transit vehicle, drives it along normal route as scheduled." What other instances do you know of? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I mean tonally, you are presenting this as a concrete and reasonable ask, but that is so nebulous! It is such a complicated job!!

Oh hey just said "gas the jews?" At least it wasn't something really antisemitic, like going to a Passover seder with the wrong jews

the lynx getting the second draft pick is basically the second best outcome i could have hoped for i think.
