I wrote this a few years ago. I like to re-read/re-listen to it every once in a while to check if my beliefs are still the same, and they pretty much are. I never posted this to HN because I think it's too long to ask people to read, but... today I feel like it. Enjoy, thanks

If Google's customers are the advertisers, maybe the correct answer is "attention".

This is beautiful man, congratulations. I love how much personality there is in the animations!

It's funny, I was just thinking about this recently. I noticed that a lot of electric cars or PHEVs use cyan accents to signal that they are EVs, yet I also think yellow is the more obvious color for electricity.

This might not be quite as strong a rebuttal as you were hoping for!

Wow, these letters are extremely pathetic and unbecoming for a government agency. I would have expected the BBC to have more self respect than this mafia LARP.

Your comment is phrased as a disagreement, but it's not. The GP post said the IRS can't do everyone's taxes, and you replied that they can do most. I think we're all on the same page that people would benefit from having available information autofilled while still having the opportunity to review and make corrections as needed.

I feel like I'm seeing an effect where some people don't want to say the word "AI" because they don't want to look like a normie, so they stick to "LLM" which sounds smarter and more technically adept. Then they complain because the LLM lacks a knowledge graph or self reflection. It's no surprise that a language model models language, not facts, especially not trivia facts which can't be deduced from anything.

If you want something to have a worldly knowledge graph and the ability to answer "I'm not sure", you'll have to ask for an AI, not an LLM.
