  • The analogy takes one sentence to explain. Your explanation took 5 paragraphs.

    That is the point of an analogy. To make it “analagous” to something familiar, so as to avoid explanation.

    You keep on asking someone to refute your facts. They are not in dispute. What’s in dispute is whether the analogy works. It does as it represents the fact that the ai does not understand it’s output. The analogy does not reference the search nor the human that is doing the reading.

    The point is that the AI LLM does not understand what it is outputting, in the same way that a person does not need to understand a Wikipedia page to read it.

    Rather than a Wikipedia page, perhaps you’d get the analogy better if they said reading a page from an advanced physics textbook. The point is that the information being presented accurately does not infer understanding in the case of AI. That was represented perfectly fine in the analogy, which was it’s purpose.



  • There is a fee for crypto transaction processing. The fee is the same irrespective of dollar value, so for small transactions, like buying a game, it is more than a cc middleman fee.

    Eventually, I think k this is where crypto can work. Something like the digital euro where the transactions are processed by a trusted entity, the European central bank, rather than your local bank through the visa or MasterCard system. If those fees can be low or eliminated, visa and MasterCard are dead.





  • What you’re describing is not a structural change. What you’re describing has happened before. You’re describing a bubble.

    I do think there is a structural change, similar to how there has been for the arrival of computers, the arrival of the internet, the arrival of covid and WFH etc. LLMs have changed how many people will work. However. They aren’t able to replace workers.

    The onlystructural concern I have currently is that the models and processing power become out of reach for all but giant corporations and data centres. As there are open models and much of the changes are happening across many companies and individual programmers, I don’t see that happening. Perhaps the best models and training data will be out of reach but there are enough people vested in open source and proficient, that should things start to get out of reach and computing become less available, I’d expect that to change. Similar to how windows led to Linux which is now better.



  • I get your point. I’m not op, but it makes the task easier. It doesn’t eliminate it is their point. I get yours. That the manual sink washing is more of a chore and also more time sensitive. I too would like to never have to empty the dishwasher, which often has a whole days stuff, not just one meal. For families, this can be a bunch of stuff and neverending.
