@simonwillison.net huge fan, i was wondering if you had thoughts on how the search providers for LLMs could make a backdoor deal to link user metadata and then track the (many) searches that frontier models do? the data with all those keywords would be valuable, and you could obfuscate it in the T&C

i dont care whether it is entirely AI generated, but we have got to stop adopting AI speak and using so many comparative / contrasting statements, the constant "its not x, its y", "its not only this, its that" stuff is getting so nauseating

hello @scottzona.bsky.social ! huge fan of your work, I was wondering if you knew of any updates on the 'real' Heterospathe glauca? It got a bit messy when H. barfodii was cultivated under that name, but the 'real' one seems unnecessarily obscure, just old descriptions and anecdotes from what i see

i thought debating conspiracy theorists online for years was a waste of time
turns out it was the perfect training ground for the future battle with LLMs, who have a similar penchant for self-consistent, grammatically correct nonsense

shifting baselines are so rough... i remember looking at pictures of coral reefs in textbooks growing up and dreaming of seeing them with my own eyes.
and then bleach events in 1998, 2010, 2014, 2023... now they're essentially gone, and it is like everyone wants to pretend they were never there

adding web searches to LLM toolchains is pointless if the internet allows itself to fill up with content produced by the same or lesser capable models
if youre thinking of using trusted sources only, they are not immune to sloppy pasting

“LLMs are tools” yeah, like a laser guided saw that occasionally has an optical illusion where it cuts in a completely different direction than the angle it is showing you
