When you peer inside a large language model’s black box, you can see what it tells you when it thinks you’re rich—and what it tells you when it thinks you’re not.

I really wish I could describe GenZ what it felt like growing up in a miracle. My grandfather on my mother's side was a dentist. He had a grand encyclopedia collection and it was just this incredible thing. You could pick up a random book and go to a random page and just be regaled with information

Gosto demais de ler o que o @tedgioia.bsky.social escreve (e esta é a segunda vez em que linko pra ele hoje). Segundo ele, o entretenimento engoliu a arte, a distração engoliu o entretenimento e o vício está engolindo a distração. Baita texto, aliás. Você deveria ler sem pressa.
