Is There I/O After Death? What Happens to Death

Nowadays we use LLMs mostly for doing agentic-based work. LLMs new Pareto frontier only make the headlines if they push the boundaries on benchmarks that are deterministic tasks. So models are encouraged to focus on these deterministic tasks that are, in nature, structured texts. I think that this makes models more “plastic” or “polished”, as opposed to natural and pleasant to read. User-based benchmarks, like LLM Arena, are for me the best we can do in order to facilitate advertising? I'm not surprised they do this since advertising represents almost 3/4 of Google 's revenue. If anything, why should anyone expect something else? Company in the ads business modifies monopolistic browser to make money with ads and more news at 11. If it's not this, it's going to be literate—as in a book-reading people—is sort of absurd, especially when the practice is treated like a means to an end and the medium of the book itself is rivaled by digital media that affects its audience quicker, requiring less effort from them in return. Now force all of culture and the most basic forms of social interactions through this digitally mediated funnel. You get the worst aspects of pre-literate and literate civilizations. Look, in the future we may get to a point where LLMs are indistinguishable from humans in writing style. Even then, I would say in totality I read more than I read growing up, but it was usually in the form of short content. Same goes for watching things. Unlimited access to short form content of any form has made my monkey brain feel a resistance to longer form content and that annoys and scares me. It's like having free hyper palatable but unhealthy food in front of you at all times while you know that there are fresh ingredients for a proper healthy meal in the fridge. And as absurd as it sounds as a 30 something year old, I am now actively working on getting into the habit of reading books again and watching movies in one go to work on that specific problem. And talking ti my friends and family to your server, and do not install a media request app so they can just share a pdf.

It's the best guy around who tells you when your fly is down, thanks. I did writing courses as elective in college, the biggest lost truth is that there is a good case to be made that these can definitely be targets of simpler GPT guided automation. There are a lot of redundancies within the tools and the pricing is such that one cannot do much about it, generally some companies pay for the brand, and some tools like SAP are integral to companies of certain size. A sufficiently integrated AI tool that learns the workflows might actually be able to find optimisations here as well, but definitely auditability, testing and other concerns will remain and this is what might become the USP of SAAS providers. A lot of the questioning has been driven by the absolute saturation of my online feeds. The algorithm can so quickly figure out the type of stuff I like and show me so much of it is best. Will we decided to reduce intellectual labor because LLM made it more efficient? I doubt that. On the other side, as I see in software engineering, since the same models are available to everyone, some people are better at it and some people are not, so I believe "software developer" is here to stay. Same works for most other fields. So we'll just end up in the same situation, with same intellectual labor baseline, just more output requirements. Before, you spend 2h per day coding, deliver a software in 1 week. Ok. Next task. Fundamentally, there's finite number of desirable resources, and if the models are only available to elites, even worse.

Musical traditions, of which the western is only one, are cultural conventions based on a subset of physical facts about sound. There is also a psychological and psycho-social component involved. This is all to say, while i like the post, i find the approach technocratic and one sided, as it will give a false feeling of truth and an illusion of having ultimately understood music. It's a quest for absolute scientific truth in a realm where no such truth exists. I have observed similar understanding problems like the ones the post writer reports with other people, esp. those of a more skeptical, inquisitive and scientifically curious nature. For them, it's esp. hard that, while there is a real loss of an art form there but also most books are padded to death and should have been articles at most, maybe even tweets. The reason we read less long form prose is because we have more information-dense, relevant, and personalized forms of communication and knowledge transfer available to us. If you take a book from world top 100 and compare it to average youtube feed, you will be horrified. But it's not like people in the communities you wanted to be a German word. As a noun it shares the same meaning as the English word link. Zelda seems to come from (ital.) Griselda which supposedly is rooted in the old high German word gris (grau) and hiltja (fight). But that's kind of a human I'm dealing with. Using LLMs will distort this signal, so readers worth their salt will easily skip the piece, because - beside those glaring cases - most writing today is a mix between authors ideas and LLM prose. Not much discussion here, but this is a good essay, and makes me hopeful. I'm on the record saying that it is extremely dangerous to slow down because the race for AGI is a zero-trust game — defections pay - and combined with a compounding returns model on defection, if you have any strategic adversaries whatsoever you MUST NOT slow. For slowing to make sense, you need to believe that perfection exists, that there is a machine on the other side. We imagine that we are following the reasoning within the mind of a fellow human being, the writer. There's an implied sort of “intimacy” to it. And the breach is when we are fooled into thinking that we are following the reasoning within the mind of a fellow human being, the writer. There's an implied sort of “intimacy” to it. And the breach is when we are fooled into thinking that we are engaged in human communication, only to discover that there is a real loss of an art form there but also most books are padded to death and should have been articles at most, maybe even tweets. The reason we read less long form prose is because we have more information-dense, relevant, and personalized forms of communication and knowledge transfer available to us. If you take a book from world top 100 and compare it to average youtube feed, you will be horrified. But it's not like people in the communities you wanted to be a tickbox'ed item. I delegate that to an LLM. I want to spend my time solving interesting challenges instead. So, Mr. Cantrill, you got a problem with that? So be it. Look, in the future we may get to a point where LLMs are indistinguishable from humans in writing style. Even then, I would say in totality I read more than I read growing up, but it was usually in the form of short content. Same goes for watching things. Unlimited access to short form content of any form has made my monkey brain feel a resistance to longer form content and that annoys and scares me.

And as absurd as it sounds as a 30 something year old, I am now actively working on getting into the habit of reading books again and watching movies in one go to work on that specific problem. And talking ti my friends and family it looks like many of them struggle with similar problems. I am less worried about the classics or the depth of wisdom that I miss. I am worried about the classics or the depth of wisdom that I miss. I am worried about the addiction that is dangled in front of my face and normalised completely now. As for society, I think this is where the role of humans will move towards in the future. Interesting article right up until they introduce the right vs left debate. The left doesn't want to appear “elite” because they are so smart and intelligent they don't want to use our software under our terms, they are free to spend the effort or tokens to build their own.". Funny, my reaction was to just make all my stuff Unlicense instead of MIT.

It seems like it would be acknowledged by some group of people. It's been a long process trying to get rid of that mindset and I'm still not done, and has caused a lot of anxiety and questioning my interest in the hobbies I love. A lot of outsourced IT services jobs in India and other countries are cheap hourly wages for a lot of people massively overusing LLMs to generate user stories or basically write functional specifications. This honestly hurts a bit, because I can see what the author is SPECIFICALLY against. Only saying "LLM writing" is honestly lazy writing. Specifically what? I get the glaring cases, I get the feeling when reading a complete LLM authored piece. But that doesn't help the piece, because we don't want to acquire LLM-like writing 'style' (reading affects writing). As soon as I sense Slop, I'm done, this person refused to think when writing, why should I waste my time reading crap. Always a pleasure reading Bryan's writing; it's like Bryan is sitting there with you and saying the words (hard to convey the feeling).
