Technically OCR is an application of machine learning.
Not an LLM, though.
The secret to success in software engineering:
- Lie and say that there is
- Write or use a conversion algorithm
- Boss won’t know the difference
- Collect bonus at performance evaluation
- Put “AI engineer” on resume
No need, there’s an unmaintained javascript library for that (written by a 12-yr old)
Omg, sign me up! I’m gonna put that script in production for a server used by millions of customers around the world!
Oh no, now there is a security audit and the pdf generated is insecure, the unpaid developer that has not logged in since 2015 has to fix this ASAP
Initially, I didn’t think these kids were fall guys.
Now I think they’re fall guys.
That was my thought. Young kids fresh out of school are really easy to manipulate into delusions of grandeur, especially when said delusions are offered by the richest person in the world. He’s gonna leave them out for the wolves.
Either that or Musk himself is truly so incompetent he thinks these kids are true geniuses. Honestly, with how things are going, that’s a fiddy-fiddy chance, because Musk is somehow almost as unbelievably stupid as Trump.
You’re probably not wrong, what with him awkwardly hopping around onstage at multiple trump rallies.
Why not both?
Imagine getting a job like this and now half the nation knows your name…thats terrifying. being an intern may mean you have no idea of the true scope of what they are asking you to do.
We know that his dad is an engineering professor at university of Nebraska too. Really calls into question his credentials. I checked the other day and they had already removed his contact info from their website.
Yes it’s an LLM called pandoc, you can run it locally
You don’t need a private nuclear plant to run it? Wow very efficient.
Black magic software.
Is this fake?
For context, this is the guy who figured out how to see what’s written on some ancient Greek Scrolls without destroying them. It seems slightly far-fetched that he wouldn’t know better.
What Greek scrolls?
Ok so they were apparently in Greek but not from Greece. Source: https://news.unl.edu/article-2
Even granting the quality or contribution he had to that effort, there’s a huge difference between, “I can make a computer read burnt scrolls,” and, “I can make government software with industry-standard protocols and security.”
By way of comparison, just because I can write automation software for my company’s apps doesn’t mean I could just jump into doing Linus Torvalds’ job maintaining the Linux kernel.
Sure, but the difference between “I win awards for figruing out how to decipher ancient scrolls that no one has been able to do despite their best efforts” and “I can’t research well enough to discover appropriate existing tools for document conversion” is very hard to reconcile.
Not particularly, in my book. Like I said, a specific skillset that allowed him to decipher ancient scrolls doesn’t equate to practical skills that translate to other things like document conversion.
By way of another analogy, I can build a fine cabinet out of wood, but that doesn’t mean I can also build a wooden cuckoo clock.
Oh yeah the hosted DeepSeek has that
yes me send me what you want me to parse and i will get back to you in 3-4 business days
be sure to include the metadata too. lol
And processing fee!
the only fee i want is pics
Feet?
anything
Sorry I was making a joke “the only feet I want is pics”
its no worrie i forgive you just dont do it again
anything includes feet too thou
Just use Deepseek for US government data … what could go wrong?
Actually this is what they do.
Yeah, I don’t really get this one. The class clown is the kid who recognizes a function of a tool, correctly at that. Unlike a dipshit lawyer who let it hallucinate bogus case law. Hilarious.
There are programs that exist that explicitly do these sorts of things.
They have been around since long before llm.
This is a lazy and uneducated question.
He demonstrates he has done zero research and goes straight to the buzzword because he knows nothing.
How is that a stupid question?
Perhaps the best way would be through an analogy:
“Are there any thermonuclear bombs made specifically for lighting candles?”
Large Language Models are for natural language processing, not for converting between text document file formats.
