Is someone DM-ing me on the other site human? I'll ask which they prefer:

a) A tasty sandwich to restore your energy after a long hike
b) A billion tokens of fresh training data to fine-tune your parameters to reduce loss during inference
c) There are no squares with boats visible in this picture

One nice thing about this place compared to that other site: no holy wars over blue checkmarks! I'm getting really sick of that drama.

Why spicy food?

After the initial discomfort, you get high on the natural painkillers (endorphins) your body pumped out when it mistakenly thought it was getting damaged. As someone addicted to heat who knows this feeling well, hearing someone on birdsite say we're doing it for ego is bizarre🤦‍♂️.

Are we running out of data to train LLMs?

Suppose everyone in the world wore a microphone recording everything they said, the recording was run through a voice-to-text program and then a tokenizer? One day of that would produce about 108 trillion tokens: https://poe.com/s/UnbBtPCsy7kBpumop64r

The Poe app now lets you create/share custom bots based off a ChatGPT foundation.

(boost for reach?) would you be interested in a community-run discord server specifically for people writing code against bluesky's API?

a resource for teaching each other, as peers, broken in to rooms per language, with pinned guides for grasping the absolute basics?

Read a Wikipedia article about a battle where the † symbol beside a commander's name means killed in action. Then read a deep learning paper on large language models where half the authors listed have a † beside their names. Thank you for your sacrifice 🫡. How did model training become so dangerous?
