keyless ignition is one of the all time worst technological trade-offs ever
_this_ feels like the key one, yeah, and goes back to a problem that _is_ about the intelligence rather than the tokenisation: how do you teach the systems to reliably recognise their own inabilities
Yeah, I think "different class" rather than "very narrow" is a better way of talking about it. I haven't actually looked at whether LLMs are good at Regex, and how they deal with tokenisation when they're doing it
i'm not an ai
"London, Paris, New York and Tokyo are the four best holiday destinations in the world"
this is the closest i can get to getting my head around why "count the Rs in strawberry" is a fundamentally different class of problem from almost every other LLM weakness, because it is bound up in tokenisation rather than the neural network itself
If I give you a katakana keyboard and a katakana dictionary and use the syllabary to write phonetic English to communicate with you, you would be able to perform most knowledge work to a high quality.
You would also be unable to count the number of latin characters in an arbitrary word.
I think it’s perfectly possible to run something like Character.AI at a profit on a $5/m subscription, particularly if post-bust there’s oodles of spare GPUs being let out to cover the cost of electricity!
It’s tempting to read stories about ChatGPT-driven psychosis and think that OpenAI is as irresponsible as it’s possible to be in this space and oh boy that would be nice
A bubble popping probably would get rid of lots of the annoying “do this in AI” buttons that have metastasised across tech. But it would also mean the only people left doing AI research are smaller firms without resources or inclination to do a modicum of responsible development
Think a lot of people assume that if the AI bubble bursts, the things they hate will go away, and I worry that’s almost exactly the wrong way around
Stared at this for far far too long trying to work out what @gshowitt.bsky.social had rebranded to
It’s not the norm for unincorporated sole trades, no. I cannot buy a new laptop on credit and then offset the payments against my freelance income
I was in New York magazine as a Bro Who Likes Taylor Swift before the kids next to me at the Eras Tour were BORN
A lot to say about this but one thing to note is that spacex cannot in fact put a man on the moon
Ah see podcasts are useful because sometimes I can’t read, like when I’m cutting food or hoovering
One of my longer-running bits right now is to insist that I don’t need to watch TikTok or YouTube “because I can read”
Oooh hadn’t considered that now’s a really good time to trawl eBay for old Game Boy cartridges
Buying anything from overseas is about to get more expensive, more logistically complicated, slower, and overall more annoying. Film photography community, retro games community, people into skincare already seeing chaos on eBay. eBay sellers locking US buyers out.
