The best is when you get to pass on these important ML concepts to your students, but minus a whole bunch of annoying assumptions

I also like his question about whether LLMs being primarily for linguistic generation prevents us from being able to make the same separation we do for people between what they say and their internal states

I’m curious what you mean by “what are the internal states an LLM can introspect?”

Ah I forgot about that one. I should read it again.

This one on silence is both insightful (sort of a more accessible version of what certain philosophers and historians have written about) and misdirected at the same time in that it takes its argument too seriously). But worth checking out

fwiw, I am neither Sontag liker nor disliked could see not liking her - honestly this is the only thing I can think of from her that I remember!

It’s about how post modern art, art cannot ’speak’ as it once did (though Agamben’s Man Without Content is a better reference on this). She talks about how Wittgenstein, Rimbaud, & others deliberately stepped away. A theme very close to my heart bc I once did the same, though getting back to it now

Have you read Susan Sontag’s Aesthetics of Silence?

It's the dream

Glad to see I'm not the only one in a cranky mood tonight about CHI papers!

ok, I can accept theory as a reason.
