So, anyway, a lot's going to play out over this week, and I'll let you know. But I'm stretching and shadowboxing and ready. For now? What can you do? Rally. Get people to follow @atthisarts.com. Share our website. Just ... talk about us. Please. I'm finally asking for this rally.

There’s truly no better sound in the world, than that of a tiny feral turned indoor kitty (1 week indoors!) snoring in a giant (because she’s tiny) bed.
She’s so content. So happy. Ready for her best life as an indoor kid.

I don’t think it can be emphasized enough that large language models were never intended to do math or know facts; literally all they do is attempt to sound like the text they’re given, which may or may not include math or facts. They don’t do logic or fact checking — they’re just not built for that
Unfortunately, it repeatedly offers incorrect answers for straightforward math questions. 🧪
