When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.

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.

Age verification? We watched Seo Taiji break out on TV while eating tdeokbokki at an after-school snack bar.

I should have been doing this for years. With books and DVDS. I once had to march into a producer/CEO's office and scan their entire wall of DVDs to retrieve one I'd lent him years before that he claimed couldn't be found. Took me 2 minutes. #curses

I've been surprisingly impressed with how well #MLB announcers handle Korean names like Jung Hoo Lee & Hyeseong Kim these days. No "JOOOONGhoo" or "HeeYAYsee-ang" nonsense. Just right off the tongue. Pros. I bet they can even pronounce Hyundai with the 'y' sound.

Talking w/ dir. Park Chan-wook is unfailingly fascinating & he's always given me so much insight. A pleasure to write up my interview w/ him per 'No Other Choice', which is opening Busan IFF tonight & is S. Korea's submission to the Oscars best int'l feature cat.
