    Just chuck more data at it and hope for the best! It’s a pretty fun strategy even if it fails a lot

        That’s honestly one of the best parts about it. Reading error messages and thinking logically is boring compared to trying to guess how this stupid LLM got the idea to spit out what it did.

      ML honestly sounds like a maddeningly dull profession to me because of this. It’s a cool technology but jiggling hyperparameters and then waiting would grate on me.

    Any task that can be expressed as mostly translation is a good task to try with an LLM.

    And you know what? Stakeholders tend to love LLMs, so have fun with your complicated problems while I build them by using the ancient technique of slapping some boilerplate together and combining it with the new ways of pasting error messages into chatgippity.

      I don’t think that was the point. The thing is, people replace calculators with that…

      • User: Assistant?
      • Assistant: * BEEP *
      • User: What is 21 divided by three?
      • Assistant: 52, my master.

      Thing is, they only get some results right and hallucinate others. And you’re doing billions of matrix multiplications just to calculate 2+1.

      Sure. You can go to a construction site with only your one favorite tool. And use it for everything. And it’s impressive to open a glass bottle of beer with a hammer and such. But I can guarantee you, you’ll be slower digging that hole than the guys using a proper tool like an excavator.

        And: you don’t solve any fundamental problems if you don’t have the data for it. If the information isn’t in your data, the network will start guessing and it will be horrible.

        That’s not a translation problem, so LLMs are terrible for it.

        Always use the right tool for the job. If there are a lot of nails to be hammered, you need a guy with a hammer.

          Yeah, that was kind of my point. I think the meme picture means people throw it at everything. No matter what. And the next logical thing would be to strip the computer scientist out of the picture. We have Github Copilot now ;) Let AI decide if AI is the proper tool.

      Translation, but not categorization. Trying to get reliable, and more importantly, predictibly accurate, metadata from an LLM without serious training is a pain. ML algorithms are far better for this but certainly take more brainpower (in my experience so far).

    Please, what is the established theory to create an n-1 dimensional space filling curve on the surface of an n-sphere?! I need to speed up my locality sensitive neural hash!

    I don’t see anything wrong in this picture. ML == funny!

    “AI Casino” vs “old school nights banging heads on books”

    Edit. Guys, it was a joke, do I really need to put /s?
