One thing that has served me incredibly well on social media is that if you post one bit of misinformation once you’re blocked. Even if I kind of know you.
in times of deep misinformation, I am still able to get useful news out of my social media feed.

A computer cannot tell what is good and what is bad. It can write working code but it can’t know whether it wrote good code or bad code.
That’s why AI can never fully replace programmers. In general it’s the reason you can never fully remove the “human in the loop.”

LLMs are autotune for text and we are freaking out about it just like we did when autotune came out.

Why do you think LLMs have a problem solving flaky tests in real-world work situations?
Google Scholar and Arxiv are bristling with papers on how to succeed fixing flaky tests with LLMs. So what do you think is the delta?
Why isn’t the academic success crossing over into the enterprise?

Scientists Finally Reveal Biological Basis of Long COVID Brain Fog.
Patients with brain fog may have disrupted AMPA receptor (AMPAR) expression—key molecules for memory and learning. Imaging of Long COVID patients showed elevated AMPAR density tied to more severe cognitive impairment.

whether deliberate or unintentional, the people who want you to treat AI systems as human-like fully autonomous "agents" are simply laundering responsibility and accountability away from those who choose to monetize these systems onto the artifacts that can’t know responsibility or accountability

LLMs are unbounded, but weighted string generators. The universe of possible strings is infinite and thus the number of *possible* errors is also infinite, and adjusting weights or pre-prompting the model simply make some errors more or less likely.
I find this essay compelling and one big takeaway is all LLM production is a hallucination and understanding the risk of error is essentially impossible because the set of errors is unbounded.
I wrote a new essay about AI.
This time I'm writing about "The Hallucination Problem"—what it is, why it is, and what there is to be done about it. As usual for my writing on this topic, it's long, but here are the CliffsNotes.
