    Thought for 95 seconds

    Rearranging the letters in “they are so great” can form the word ORION.

    That’s from the screenshot where they asked the o1 model about the cryptic tweet. There’s certainly utility in these LLMs, but it made me chuckle thinking about how much compute power was spent coming up with this nonsense.

    Edit: since this is the internet and there are no non-verbal cues, maybe I should make it clear that this “chuckle” is an ironic chuckle, not a careless or ignorant chuckle. It’s pointing out how inefficient and wasteful a LLM can be, not meant to signal that wasting resources is funny or that it doesn’t matter. I thought that would be clear, but you can read it both ways.

      yes, the massive waste of resources involved is definitely “funny”, that’s definitely the bit of this awful shit to post a take about

        Relax, I’m probably worried just as much about climate change and waste of resources as you are, if not more. My take was an ironic take.

          We laugh that we can avoid screaming and continue to fight, in whatever small ways we can.
