I see that as an example of being sick and scared.

Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.

White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

OK, I don’t use them. Thanks for the explanation.

Why would that be necessary? They’ll freely and readily identify themselves.

Understanding, context[0].

Computers are particularly adept at iteration, and LLMs are an application that leverages this effectively. To wit, I’ll concede LLMs are ‘AI’, where that initialisation represents Accelerated Iteration, or in management as Amplified Incompetence, but as an example of Intelligence, that remains for those who are proud of their lack of the naturally occurring variety.

[0]: to frame a larger memory pool as a ‘context window’ is a misnomer, as context requires understanding and comprehension.

Thanks for proving my point, your service is invaluable.

LLMs are explosively imprecise, statistically luke-warm, grey goo extrusion sphincters. They can’t produce anything novel, at best they can reveal potentially plausible information from the data they were trained on, which then requires proven domain expertise to validate.

Intelligence requires comprehension, a trait LLMs are intrinsically incapable of performing.

I don’t trust anyone who is impressed by LLMs enough to consider them to be in any way adjacent to intelligence.

Same, my comment is an extension of that more common notion.

A backwards ticking clock appears accurate more frequently than a stopped one.

I also prefer using an AppleTV as my TV media player, but as long as the UI is snappy and it it’s capable of decoding HEVC, AV1, and other modern codecs smoothly, this solution is perfectly cromulent.
