It's particularly sensitive to false dichotomies, and used to justify immoral behavior.

It's far more effective to argue from the veil of ignorance.

He was never in it for personal growth he was in it for financial gains. He was a mere grifter, his opinions were for sale. There is a lot of money in right wing grifting when you reach his level of notoriety. His personal beliefs conveniently always pointed in the direction of money. Worth about $12m when he was executed. He believed in his bank accounts.

The problem will always be that you have to use an llm to ask questions in natural language. Which means it gets training data from outside whatever database you're trying to get information from. There isn't enough training data in an encyclopedia to make an llm.

So it can't be better because if it doesn't find anything it will still respond to your questions in a way that makes it seem it did what you ask. It just isn't as reliable as you yourself checking and going through the data. It can make you faster and find connections you wouldn't make yourself easily. But you can just never trust it as you can trust an encyclopedia.

that's just circular reasoning, since understanding is needed for communication.

You mean that reality might have been created by intelligent being(s)? wow.. Nobody ever thought about that one before.

I don't know why we should take 12 year olds as an example? Surely you didn't know certain things at 12 that you know now. Assuming you are 13+

I'm just saying that things will trickle into common knowledge. And there will always be people who know jack shit. Obviously.

But when you play music from a streaming service you don't go like. Wow people had to rewind cassette tapes! No, you understand the progression music carriers have made and just enjoy the music. You could buy a tape recorder and tapes and they are still available, if you would want. The same applies to coding, and other technologies.

You mean that less people need to understand code? Like that's just natural progression. There are many coding languages because hardly anybody knows how to code in machine language or punch cards and we've been making coding easier for humans. The progression to natural language is a natural one.

LLMs bridging the gap between coding and natural language isn't going to be a mystery in the future. Just like we don't go like "a person punched all those holes in the cards? no way!" Because yes they did and we all understand that that was something that needed to be done at that time. We simply appreciate the amount of work it took. It's a lot more that typing 'cryptic letters', which we will all know in the future also as coding. i don't understand why you believe everybody in the future is an idiot.

Never enjoyed meat and i've been vegan for 7 years now. I really couldn't care less about it. I don't see the appeal, you're all just talking like a bunch of junkies.
