When I read things like this I feel like I’ve lived a sheltered life, and am happy about that.

I feel like the arguments being made about sharing the training data are from people who don’t have any experience training ML models and have never worked with weights. The biggest reason I have seen…

Or the only thing they do in life is come to the office and then mix life with work so effectively it’s a combination of hanging out with friends, eating free food, and working, but it all goes into t…

Do you believe it was this edge case he was referring to in making his point?

A lot of people will stop reading or become completely distracted when encountering something so blatantly wrong, and it also indicates the author is willing to say such things. I see some people down…

It’s unfortunate - he’s an author, it would have been fine to stick with an authors perspective that LLMs can’t write (which is true), as well as the copyright stuff (which I don’t agree with but he c…

I had seen the cigarette. But but not the meat which costs $2,690 for four tuna-can size cans and is a mix of pork and chicken Thinking of a concept for a restaurant meal along the lines of a calibrat…

Why not? If done right it’s a good way to talk about implications for those companies and provide some education like tailscale did here. We also saw Anthropic post about “our agent escaped too” and w…

Running local LLMs split across machines. Pretty sure the author has some other posts about doing that. Edit: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/15-tb-vram-on-mac-stu... …

That’s just conflating reasoning and “parallel reconstruction” - there is such thing as reasoning, and I agree it’s probably less common in decision making, but it’s fundamental to many tasks where we…

Back in the day it was a bit of a cliche to bring up “clever Hans”, the horse that could do math, when talking about machine learning. He couldn’t do math but he read some cues from his handler of pic…

AI writing is not good. Seeing this post, and another comment on here earlier today to the effect of “we’ve solved prose”, I’m genuinely really confused. I don’t want to be insulting, even if the firs…

Seems they want the narrative to be that “Claude” (their computer program) independently attacked some organizations, ergo LLMs are dangerous etc. Another framing would be Athropic irresponsibly (vibe…

I would have said 0x to infinity-x. Some stuff I think it would be a good idea and waste a bunch of time and then give up and just write it myself. And like you say, there’s lots of stuff I would just…

So, there is no subliminal learning in this situation, under what conditions would we expect it. I find a transfer attack to be a bit far fetched but it’s definitely interesting. If we trained from ra…

I didn’t see a gguf yet, going to be most interesting if there’s a quant that fits nicely into about 90FN so it can run in 128GB unified memory. It’s 12B active so should hopefully be pretty fast at 2…

There’s such an opportunity, it has never been easier to differentiate oneself now, all you have to do is ignore whatever online advice or LLMs say and do your own thing, it’s sad that almost nobody d…
