every now and then i ask ChatGPT something that seems simple but i suspect it might do wrong because of being a next-word-predictor

watching this state of the art models fail at something simple helps me conceptualize how most (all?) of this is just a giant tech bubble waiting to burst

i watched 10 Cloverfield Lane yesterday, and i legit thought that this meme was from that movie for some reason

i'm so bad at Connections i think the stats would be more useful if they showed how many groups i managed to complete instead of the number of mistakes

I thought i didn't have a strong position on the "0 vs 1 indexing" dilemma, just a slight preference for 0-indexig due to habit. But this Lobsters comment made me reconsider my position: lobste.rs/s/5cu6v2/why...
