Woosh buy also dude has a point

A faceless banbot caught you in their word filter?

It’s death for you.

“If you can replace a semicolon or hyphen with a comma/period, you probably should”. Writing advice I received at age ~10 and it never stopped being relevant in literature contexts

GPT is basically a machine that builds machines.

We understand how the machine builder works. We don’t understand how the output of the machine works. Like mechanically we understand each individual sub-component works e.g. a single matrix multiplication, but we don’t understand why specific weights are the value they are, or the broader macrostructure.

I don’t think you realize that acting like “No we actually do understand how it works” just reveals that you don’t understand the question, it does not show that the question has an answer.

Please explain what this one specific weight is, and why that value shouldn’t be higher or lower.

It’s just a series of 10 trillion floats. And we don’t really know what the individual floats represent and changing them degrades performance but hey

Technically. It’s just if statements.

Great edit. I love this.

Exactly. The standard QoL between 1800, 1900, and 2000 is immense. But between 1970/80/90/00/10/20 - it all feels extremely similar or even a bit worse. Cars vs Horse was a big change to out QoL, Landline vs iPhone is arguably lateral or only slightly up. And I feel the same can be said for the majority of innovations over the last 30 years… Like they’re nice sure, but they didn’t really revolutionize our QoL like the generation prior to the boomers experienced.

Bomers got it “as good as it got” up to now, but weer able to enjoy the average bull run of the last 50 years. Meanwhile younger generations are entering right as it started to taper off.

The older I get and the more I understand that boomers had literally it the easiest out of any one in history the more salty I get over them calling millennials & gen Z lazy all those years.

All you stupid oldies had to do was put like 2% of your paycheck into any index over your career and you would be rich AF right now. Which, is exactly why so many boomers are fucking loaded right now and old a historically disproportionate amount of wealth for the generation.
