Serious question but if it hallucinates about almost everything, what's the use case for it?
luckydata · 11 days ago
Because that's not the job it was designed to do, and you would know by reading the article.

Could be interesting to use in a RAG setup and also finetuning it

For sure it won’t generate great svgs, but it might be a really good conversational model

The article says it's not a good conversational model but can be used for data extraction and classification as two examples.

is there some sort of utility to automatically backup and retrieve dotfiles from github to keep different computers synchronized?

1. Remember that you are looking at an experiment with n=1.

2. It sounds like you think the key to education is coercion. ("His teachers don't make him do anything...".) That's a grim world, too.

Also, I hope you are looking at your home country's educational system with clear eyes.

Not to say I disagree that the US educatonal system is a mess. If you stopped at your second sentence I would entirely agree.

As you went on, I started to wonder if you had an experience teaching your child something that was difficult for them. It's not just _forgetting_ that makes learning difficult.

if a kid is being lazy there's simply no way around "cohercion" as you put it. You know how I know he's being lazy? Because I used to do the same stuff for the same reasons, and my parents and teachers saw through it and didn't make excuses for me or any other kid.

We were expected to grow up and learn to do work even when we didn't want to.

I go out and do different activities that involve socialization. There are more people than ever going to the climbing gyms, meeting at the hiking trailhead, hanging out in the ski lift lines, and so on. All of the social places I’ve been going and activities I’ve been doing since a teenager are more crowded than ever, at a rate far faster than the local population growth.

Many of the people doing these activities discovers them online or met others to do it online.

I don’t buy the claim that everything social and in-person is in decline.

Though I could see how easy it would be to believe that for someone who gets caught in the internet bubble. You’re not seeing the people out and about if you’re always at home yourself.

The crowd you see is because options are dwindling faster than people willing to use them.

As an immigrant to the USA teaching in this country is a mess. Teachers apply a lot of semi scientific mumbo jumbo to justify a completely inadequate amount of work required from students to learn.

I know it's not popular to say it but my son learns anything I teach him, he might not enjoy the process very much but he never forgot anything I taught him because I make him work. His teachers don't make him do anything with the results you can imagine. If you point it out they say if they did parents would complain.

> I couldn't even imagine spending the time and effort into integrating someone else's assets into my game and keeping things balanced

Isn't this something that AI could take care of? I feel like if you gave Claude those same instructions you'd probably be pretty amazed.

I would love it if the whole world signed on to SEPA, but I'm not holding my breath. And even if it worked worldwide, I don't want to rely on a payment system that can be used to censor even legal artistic expression (see the recent Steam removals) or political protest (remember the Canadian truckers?).

that's not a technology problem, it's a political problem. You're trying to solve a political problem with technology?
