LLMs Will Always Hallucinate, and We Need to Live With This As Large Language Models become more ubiquitous across domains, it becomes important to examine their inherent limitations critically. This work argues that hallucinations in language models are not j...

What I don't understand is why LLM's can't just give confidence levels like classic intent engines? Ostensibly, Google Gemini via Vertex seems to do this fairly well..?

Every time I see Kiss without makeup I wish they'd put it back on.

Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps With AI Days Before Crash Should we not rely on one service to support everything?

Whether or not this was actually the cause, I expect we have a lot of learning the hard way ahead of us when it comes to AI.

New Yale Study Finds AI Has Had Essentially Zero Impact on Jobs A new study from Yale University shows that AI hasn't had much of an impact on jobs as many have predicted or feared.

In my own industry of customer experience, I do see potential for replacing people with this or at least making them more efficient, but it's an incremental step change from things we have already today, not a revolution.

He's not wrong

The Tariff Exemption Behind the AI Boom Data Centers get Tariff-Free Imports. Why Shouldn't we All?

This crash will be a doozy.

AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds The AI industry's claims about AI coding assistants boosting productivity significantly appear to be massively overblown, per a new report.

The ROI numbers are coming in on early LLM deployments and they aren't pretty.

It seems like there's a lot of this circular investment/valuation pumping going on these days, not just in AI but in tech in general, epecially between private equity companies' portfolios.

How much gram?

This is something hilarious I didn't know though.

"Microsoft "invests" in Openai by giving the company free access to its servers. Openai reports this as a ten billion dollar investment, then redeems these "tokens" at Microsoft's data-centers. Microsoft then books this as ten billion in revenue."

[2/2] and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. "

I don't 100% agree. LLMs do have some use cases that will replace small amounts of jobs. But I do think the crash will be massive.

[1/2]"AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, [...]

Is AI Facing a Trough of Disillusionment? Is AI's hype cycle leading us into a trough of disillusionment? Dive into the reality behind GPT-5's launch and its impact on the tech world.

There are a lot of good use valid cases for LLM's out there, but I don't think any of them are nearly as big as the hype has been made out to be (being able to replace a large portion of human workforces).

I do think that a world model is a key thing for human like AGI. Interacting with the world is what we were made to do. We aren't just brains on shelves. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
