If LLMs were good at summarization, this wouldn't be necessary. Turns out a stochastic model of language is not a summary in the way humans think of summaries. Thus all this extra faff.

You didn't believe it then, but you better believe it now: RegEx is the final boss of both code and science.

Exactly.

Why is my browser serving me advertising in the first place? Because Mozilla is an advertising company now.

This is just denialism.

It's amazing that no one really cares. Would you have believed that two years ago?

This isn't what I meant but thanks anyway.

This is where my thoughts went too. I see no reason to speculate about this in the absence of clear and persuasive comparison examples with other fine tuning content.

This is wrong and naive.

"DOGE currently has far deeper and far more extensive access to U.S. government computer systems — and is far deeper into the national security space — than is conceivably necessary for anything related to their notional brief and goals."

Are you a scientist?

No

It's almost like scientists are doing something more than a random search over language.

Witness the pure arrogance of tech bros

Are you a scientist?

You didn't make a case for any of that. No one did. This whole discussion is just a bunch of people who have their feelings hurt when other people tell them a LLM is modeling language, not reasoning. It's so narcissistic. "My opinion on AI is criticized so I'm oppressed."

That is not how oppression and power work. That's not how discussion works. That not how Foucault's analysis of power works.

It's absolutely not taboo to believe that. It's a very common belief.

Lot of game playing going on here to center on a victim narrative.

"societal taboos and power structures can be revealed by noting what speech provokes the strongest reactions"

Ok I'll bite. Who is the marginalized Other?

Throwing your hands up in the air like this doesn't help build a constructive case for using the word reasoning. It builds a case that words mean whatever

"if the president does it, it's not illegal" ok Nixon.

Gullibility is a thing, which is why we demand people go through channels of accountability, including security clearances.

Yes my main takeaway from the musk flagging discussions on here is that tech people are no where near capable of taking responsibility for their central role in this mess. If I call all my sins "politics", say discussing politics is off the table, then magically you can't say anything bad about me!

It is extremely telling that when you hear "DEI specific role" you wrongly imagint that refers to the identity of the person rather than someone who's role it is to work on issues around diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Very serious blog content!

Have you met the undergrads at Gallaudet University? They live in both worlds.

Just is all you need.

Wow so many comments that just don't get the criticism and want to continue with their magical beliefs about null hypothesis testing.

This is a damning criticism of the most common techniques used by my scientists. The answer isn't to shrug and keep doing the same thing as before.

Because people struggle with reading comprehension and are willing to twist anything and everything to take autonomy and liberty from gender diverse people.

Really?

I think maybe this is because you don't understand how someone can be gender non-conforming and also happy. Maybe you are having a hard time with the asymmetrical and temporal aspects (child is happy, child chooses their puberty path, child is happy during and after puberty). Isn't that a good path for care?

LLMs do not model "certainty". This is illogical. It models the language corpus you feed the model.

This but it's HIV and circumcision.
