When I read about potential optimizations like this, I can't believe that people trust LLMs enough to do things with minimal oversight. Do people really believe that "AI" products that use LLMs are capable enough to do things like control a computer, or write accurate code? By design, isn't _everything_ a "hallucination" or a guess? Is it really possible to overcome that?

The title of this article is a reference to "Happy Fun Ball", my favorite SNL skit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmqeZl8OI2M

There is a band from Pasadena, California called Ozma. Way back in the day (1999), they released an album called “Songs of Audible Trucks and Cars” [0] via MP3.com. I later found out that they really wanted the title to be “Songs of Inaudible Trucks and Cars” [1], but MP3.com had a character limit on album titles, so they had to shorten it

Swervedriver are actually working on a new record, "I Wasn't Born to Lose You", and have put out a few songs from it (more "Mezcal Head" than "99th Dream", IMO):

"Setting Sun", "Days": http://open.spotify.com/album/0C0q7niaA3GxJpVQsWiiKz

"Autodidact": https://soundcloud.com/blackandblueam/autodidact

Sorry for the shameless plug, but: I play in a shoegaze-influenced dream pop band called Weed Hounds, and we recently put out our first LP, for anyone who's interested (think Pale Saints, Swirlies): http://open.spotify.com/album/0aABjwPh5l2UOM5yWWON11

Just to be clear, these are people with either a BS or a BA in Computer Science, right?

Glad to see there's an Atom plugin[0] named after the Jean-Claude Van Damme movie Timecop[1]
