  • This is a very bad take. LLM’s, appear to be at their limit. They’re autocomplete and are only as good as their inputs. They can’t be depended on for truth. They can’t be trusted to even do math.

    LLM’s work as a place to bounce things off of, but still require editorial work afterword, even when they are working their best.

    LLM’s take huge amounts of power, both to make run, keep running, and to correct their output.

    In general LLM’s don’t significantly reduce labor, and they are still ~very costly~.

    Even the most basic assembly line multiplies someones output. The best assembly lines remove almost all human labor. Even bad assembly lines are wholesale better than individual assembly.

    As long as it’s LLM, I don’t believe it will ever be “useful”. We need a different technology to make this sort of assistance useful.




  • This gets into some funny spaces. Your ears can only handle “so loud” before things start going weird. Muscles start tensing up to attenuate the noise. The shape of your ear canals will funnel sound so your hairs in your inner ear stop hearing and just report noise.

    Turning down the overall volume, lets you hear more, because more of the sound is in your range of acceptable volumes. I’m more aware of what’s going on with earplugs in, because I’m able to hear things like the tire noise of a nearby car, or the cooling fans of a semi.

    This is the same reason wearing earplugs at concerts makes the music sound better. :-)
