I notice that language models are much better at programming than at writing. This is largely because, in programming, they have a closed feedback loop that allows them to find errors. Writing is much more complicated because the feedback is much more diffuse and delayed over time. In fact, it is often not well-defined.

continued:

What is the function that determines whether a poem is good? This means that models do not know how to think; they lack judgment. If they do not know how to think, it means that we humans are still essential. In fact, even when programming, you have to stay right on top of them. My conviction is that this will not change.

They will become increasingly useful, but they will never be able to replace the human who defines objectives and evaluates the quality of the work. All these news stories claiming that AI is going to kill us all are stupid. Humans will always be able to turn off the machine.

In three years Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterwards they fly with a perfect operational record. The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes online on August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defence. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14am, Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

i got into the fashion to vibevode some utility apps for myself. i didn't review the code. they work fine. colleagues are interested. i don't feel comfortable to put such stuff on $Github. have no good consciousness with unreviewed and likely ununderstood (stack I am not really familiar with). internet is full of people who don't care, I know. i tend to overthink. what about you?

replied to:

i think over time people might care less and less.

I think I may be use this for now to spill out my guts a bit. Set out boundaries guys. I was basically ignoring how important that is, whatever is at work, family, relations. Be loved being you, you don't have to meet any expectations beyond yours.

Exactly. Whoever likes it. If they respect you they'll stick around, if not, you don't need them.

Cheer to that mate!!. Wish I acknowledge before everything started to get messy. but we grow, we learn, we live and we put money on therapy.

tell me if this makes sense to you: not all expensive chairs are worth a lot but the chairs that are worth a lot cost a lot of money

replied to:

Maybe adjust the last part to “most Chairs that are worth a lot…” - because I guess there are chairs that are inexpensive but still good and thus could have cost a a lot?

…

replied to:

my guess is the inexpensive chairs can be a good value for the price you pay but I doubt there are many of any chairs that are inexpensive and yet worth a lot

replied to:

Good chairs are expensive, yes. Can’t find myself a good dining chair set for a year at €500/4 chairs budget.

看到其他文章有自動翻譯，我覺得很酷

I think it's really cool to see other articles with automatic translation.

continued:

所以我來嘗試一下自動翻譯的文章功能，但發現自動翻譯只有在瀏覽器上，行動裝置要自己手動按翻譯功能。

So I tried the automatic article translation feature, but found that automatic translation only works in the browser; on mobile devices, you have to manually press the translation button.
