The EU and the digital world: sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit. In Spanish we say 'una de cal y otra de arena'.

If you like to tinker with your own system, that’s fine with us.

This claim therefore completely invalidates the rest of the website.

Let's agree to disagree then. An LLM has no notion of semantics, it's just outputting the most likely word to follow up to what it's already written and the user's input.

On the contrary, expert systems from back in the 90s for, say, predicting the atomic structure of an element, work like a human brain on steroids. It features an arbitrary large search tree that the software knows how to iterarively prune according to a well known set of chemical rules. We do the same when analyzing a set of options.

Debugging "current" AI models, on the other hand, is impossible because all we're doing is prescripting a composition of functions and forcing it to minimize a loss function. That's all we're doing. How can you currently tell that a certain model is going to work? Unless the mathematical theory ever catches up with the technology, we'll never know until we execute the code.

If you feel uncomfortable with your boss looking at that, you're either not doing the thing you are being paid for or your boss does not know what your work is about.

Right as the metro was reaching my station, I fell asleep. In a wagon I thought was empty, a stranger asked me to leave, otherwise I'd go all the way to the next station.

It must have someone who I've traveled with on the way back many times and I'd never noticed, but it's cool to remember.

Bad ending: you refused to use corporative happy-go-round lingo in your post

I'd argue that if you exactly call the model you refer to by their actual name, you'll get much different reactions. For instance, expert systems have been around for a long while.

I think that Ready Player One was terribly ported from the book format to the movie. The book went so much more over the top than the movie did, the latter turning down on a lot of nerd aspects. Having said that, different formats need different ways for conveying the same idea. The main character would literally get a "+1 blazing sword" in the book. +1. As if it were an MMO or something.

Having said that, Dune (book and movie) were terrible. The movie felt plagued with references to stuff I didn't get. Only recently did I read the book just to find it was as uninteresting as the movie.

I'll never forget those opera singers singing right to my ears when a ship would land... Now that's a way to startle a person.

On the bright side, reading the book has allowed me not see the second part of the movie.
