Re:Detecting when LLMs are uncertain
on Friday October 25, 2024 @02:40PM (#41948269)
When I read about potential optimizations like this, I can't believe that people trust LLMs enough to do things with minimal oversight. Do people really believe that "AI" products that use LLMs are capable enough to do things like control a computer, or write accurate code? By design, isn't _everything_ a "hallucination" or a guess? Is it really possible to overcome that?

There is a band from Pasadena, California called Ozma. Way back in the day (1999), they released an album called “Songs of Audible Trucks and Cars” [0] via MP3.com. I later found out that they really wanted the title to be “Songs of Inaudible Trucks and Cars” [1], but MP3.com had a character limit on album titles, so they had to shorten it

Swervedriver are actually working on a new record, "I Wasn't Born to Lose You", and have put out a few songs from it (more "Mezcal Head" than "99th Dream", IMO):
"Setting Sun", "Days": http://open.spotify.com/album/0C0q7niaA3GxJpVQsWiiKz
"Autodidact": https://soundcloud.com/blackandblueam/autodidact
Sorry for the shameless plug, but: I play in a shoegaze-influenced dream pop band called Weed Hounds, and we recently put out our first LP, for anyone who's interested (think Pale Saints, Swirlies): http://open.spotify.com/album/0aABjwPh5l2UOM5yWWON11

Whisper Systems' headquarters is located in San Francisco, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisper_Systems
Doesn't that make them susceptible to a search warrant forcing them to give up the private keys (or equivalent) to TextSecure, ala Lavabit?
