If LLMs were good at summarization, this wouldn't be necessary. Turns out a stochastic model of language is not a summary in the way humans think of summaries. Thus all this extra faff.

You didn't believe it then, but you better believe it now: RegEx is the final boss of both code and science.

Exactly.

Why is my browser serving me advertising in the first place? Because Mozilla is an advertising company now.

This is just denialism.

It's amazing that no one really cares. Would you have believed that two years ago?

This isn't what I meant but thanks anyway.

This is where my thoughts went too. I see no reason to speculate about this in the absence of clear and persuasive comparison examples with other fine tuning content.

This is wrong and naive.

"DOGE currently has far deeper and far more extensive access to U.S. government computer systems — and is far deeper into the national security space — than is conceivably necessary for anything related to their notional brief and goals."

You didn't make a case for any of that. No one did. This whole discussion is just a bunch of people who have their feelings hurt when other people tell them a LLM is modeling language, not reasoning. It's so narcissistic. "My opinion on AI is criticized so I'm oppressed."

That is not how oppression and power work. That's not how discussion works. That not how Foucault's analysis of power works.

It's absolutely not taboo to believe that. It's a very common belief.

Lot of game playing going on here to center on a victim narrative.
