whiny baby man isn't satisfied having more money than everyone else combined. mad about factual depictions of him in some books, pays to copy every single one and rewrites just those to put in a new building he tells everyone to go to instead

also why he bought twitter, and the entire point of grok

Chris 🎃 DevPods.gg gamedev community @chrisdeleon.bsky.social · Jul 6

it's super clear that the reason every rich guy and company wants people to ask their genAI all their questions is so they can easily intercept and insert answers for questions that benefit them or whoever will pay them. it's a shortcut to how Google abused the position it took them a decade to gain

(Funnily enough, I did test my exercise with small numbers, but I *had* to choose just the few combinations that produced exact answers. I have a guess why, but that's off topic, I suppose)

Θ(log(log(yo))) - [email protected] @logarithmika.bsky.social · 3d

So yeah, once again no actual reasoning going there. I still find them somewhat impressive as a language model, but checking your answer with small numbers is something virtually all students do, and yet the AI didn't because it wasn't explicitly asked to.

For some detail: it was a counting problem about collars and beads, so the answer should always be an integer; however, with four beads the expression gave an answer of 3/2 instead of 2, which is entirely nonsensical. Really easy to check, but of course the LLM just followed instructions as expected

Next day I realized there was an error in my intended solution and the problem couldn't be solved that way. Welp. I had to replace the question with something else. Then I realized that any moderately cautious student would have found the issue easily, by testing with actual numbers

so chatgpt gave me more or less the answer I was expecting, with some bullshit reasoning that seemed somewhat circular but indeed arrived to the final algebraic expression I intended— all under expected parameters so far. However...

on the topic of LLMs, I had a really funny experience a couple days ago: I decided to upload the homework I gave to my students to chatgpt to see what kind of answers I could expect from someone using AI to cheat

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this

Katie Mack @astrokatie.com · Jun 19

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

so, #300 posts already. haven't made many drawings yet so here's some fanart of The Amazing Ergodic Pig! cosplaying as the math goblins from SMBC

also you should become aware of The Amazing Ergodic Pig! as they have very strong (and objectively correct) mathematical opinions

while I acknowledge that LLMs do have some uses for stuff like “producing code with knowledgeable human supervision,” this perfectly reflects how I feel about using it for my own creative work

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"

I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.

We know exactly how LLMs work.
