Degenerative AI

Could've just name it Genius iLook 1321, lol. At least that was the experience for me when I tried to write a Linux driver for it. It was a pre-UVC camera, so that time I did all the glitches natively.

What kind of problems did you encounter? Could you provide an example?

OK, I got your point.

Looks like we're listening to different Elons. The one is a tech guy, the other is politician, so to speak. Long time ago I decided for myself that I never trust words solely on their origin. However, I take into account what the person is known for and their profile of competence. I think no one would argue that Elon is competent in technology. Yes, Elon time is a thing, but again, what he does is not just another college project, you know. Space is hard, so does AI and the human brain. There is fair amount of uncertainty in the domain itself which makes all predictions estimates at most.

Sure, you can ask your grandma for investment advice and that would probably be a poor decision, unless she worked in finance her whole life. On the other hand, she would probably be more than competent to answer how to make cookies and pies.

Long story short: use your brain, don't trust media, do your own research. Even Nobel winners are often known for some crazy or unscientific stuff. People are people, after all. You can't be an expert in everything. Otherwise we'd cancel literally everyone.

If I'm not mistaken, Musk admitted he has Asperger's. His speech resembles someone with a mild autistic disorder.

Still, I'd rather patiently wait for him to serialize his thoughts, than to listen to some super fluent person saying utter nonsense, especially if it's a pitch talk. It's all about _what_ is being said, not _how_.

I don't know. Maybe I'm biased, but Elon and his teammates' presentations do seem natural to me. Maybe a bit goofy but always on point nevertheless.

Isn't it exactly what the typical LLM discourse is about? People are just throwing anecdotes and stay with their opinion. A is better than B because C, and that's basically it. And whoever tries to actually bench them gets called out because all benches are gamed. Go figure.

Interesting read, thanks!

P.S.: This project is obligated to have an anime mascot girl and a logo where she is embarrassed while trying to keep her skirt in place because a house fan suddenly turned on xD

Honestly, I don't feel that the name is _that_ important for a project of such scale and popularity. I mean, if they'd just rebrand JavaScript as JS, no one would probably notice. Many devs already call it like that, and probably not a single soul feels JS connection to Java anymore (not to mention, it wasn't there in the first place, but oh well).

Even bigger companies do rebranding sometimes.

Yet, he is able to answer most of deep technical questions related to his technologies, right on the spot. And his answers are well thought, concise and factual, i.e. not the handwavy crap you can expect from a CEO of his scale.

We'll never know unless it would be ejected by a volcano a few millenia from now.

Definitely. I tried gemma2:27B model with phrases like "translate the following sentence to language X" and it even failed to understand the task and spat out completely irrelevant things, like math formulas.

OTOH, smaller model did it perfectly.
