  • I know this shouldn’t be surprising, but I still cannot believe people really bounce questions off LLMs like they’re talking to a real person. https://ai.stackexchange.com/questions/47183/are-llms-unlikely-to-be-useful-to-generate-any-scientific-discovery

    I have just read this paper: Ziwei Xu, Sanjay Jain, Mohan Kankanhalli, “Hallucination is Inevitable: An Innate Limitation of Large Language Models”, submitted on 22 Jan 2024.

    It says there is a ground truth ideal function that gives every possible true output/fact to any given input/question, and no matter how you train your model, there is always space for misapproximations coming from missing data to formulate, and the more complex the data, the larger the space for the model to hallucinate.

    Then he immediately follows up with:

    Then I started to discuss with o1. [ . . . ] It says yes.

    Then I asked o1 [ . . . ], to which o1 says yes [ . . . ]. Then it says [ . . . ].

    Then I asked o1 [ . . . ], to which it says yes too.

    I’m not a teacher but I feel like my brain would explode if a student asked me to answer a question they arrived at after an LLM misled them on like 10 of their previous questions.




  • Every time I see these crypto games, I can only think of the online uwu pit bosses shown in that one Folding Ideas video who were driving workers to slave away for less than the minimum wage in the Phillipines. Just permanently burned-in mental imagery.

    This is a cool channel by the way. I’m stealing this description from someone in the YouTube comments, but he has a creative “glitchcore SFM aesthetic” that I kind of like and his speaking cadence reminds me of Primer. His style works strangely well for ripping into NFT games. This video felt like looking into a funhouse mirror dimension where every genre of game is somehow even worse than the worst games I’ve ever seen.

    Also, the Dr. Disrespect-Chewbacca mask guy doing NFT lootbox openings is something I can’t unsee. That’s honestly so much funnier that he’s still doing it after the Dr. Disrespect sexting minors scandal.
