Something I've been wondering about LLMs:

The Wolfram article and others mentioned how LLMs don't strictly emit _the most_ likely next token. This apparently makes the output more interesting and read more naturally.

Does this technique send it down bad paths and cause the hallucinations?

The short-term solution to gerrymandering is “eat shit, Texas.” I often wonder if the long-term solution is to knock it off with geographically defined districts altogether.

I’m cackling at how many of Cuomo’s wins sound like just the most racist gated communities you can imagine.

I am a man of sophisticated tastes.

For instance, I switch from Japanese whiskey to Bourbon to go with s’mores. Pairs well.
