We supported and signed the Geneva Conventions (1949) etc From strength and confidence Now the administration and the ‘anti-woke’ decry such norms as pearl-clutching and dismiss them outright. Why? Fragility. Lack of moral compass. Lack of substance and gravitas. And: self-serving opportunism.

Alt: Appropriating LLMs for our wars, foreign and domestic E. Jean Carroll posted yesterday that in her conversation w/ Claude, of earlier that morning, the LLM couldn’t remember what was discussed, let alone agreed upon. As such, how can it be used to launch an attack on (e.g.) Iran? This is correct. Aside from these tools not being ready for…

Or: how to debunk some wild claims Just so we get off on the right foot: I'm not here to hype LLM et al. At all. A prompt: Claims and/or fears around the LLM writing next gen LLM – that seem to center the LLM->LLM path and ignore that improvements in performance (such as they are) are also (or mainly!)…

If you’re going to build an online tool for communicating, coordinating or tracking – and something the gov (or current admin) doesn’t like – don’t build it as an app that needs to go through an official App Store of any kind. Build it for the open web. Build it in a way that you can host it anywhere you…

Prompt: I do think you should work on that self help book – Dunning–Kruger for LLMs, it should be required reading for all LLMs and their human enablers, investors and architects LLM response: On the “Dunning–Kruger for LLMs” book You’re not joking — this is a real phenomenon. LLMs have a structural version of Dunning–Kruger: We can sound confident without…
