One of the greatest things anyone has ever said to me was to explain that when you randomly decide to pick up a rock it’s because the rock has decided it wants to travel. It gives me joy to ponder.

Taehyung: I want to do a winter song for Army!

PD: Oh, like Winter Bear? Gentle, soothing ballad?

TH: Hm, not exactly. More like evoking a movie? A Christmas movie?

PD: Ah, a romance, got it got it

TH: Sort of! The Shining was a Christmas movie right?

I don’t think it can be emphasized enough that large language models were never intended to do math or know facts; literally all they do is attempt to sound like the text they’re given, which may or may not include math or facts. They don’t do logic or fact checking — they’re just not built for that

Black and white photo of a young white woman in a dark berry and turtleneck sweater, sitting outside of the brick steps of a wooden house porch. Next to her is a shorthaired white cat looking very curiously into the distance, but the cat is restrained by the woman’s hand and also a harness if it should decide to run off and investigate.

Coolest couple in the neighborhood. Photo from my collection, 1937.

a triple venn diagram. the three circles read "living in a shotgun shack", "in another part of the world", and "behind the wheel of a large automobile". the area where they all overlap is labeled "and you may find yourself here"
