(just some very rudimentary, uneducated thoughts on the matter - LLMs are not the subject of my research)

So while LLMs may fail factually from time to time, their capability of fulfilling a completely different goal, namely to satisfy our search for an understandable, plausible answer, is quite astonishing.

I quite often have the "Clever Hans effect" on my mind these days. Named after a German horse called Hans, which supposedly was capable of doing maths. Instead, it was really great at reading humans. And giving them what they wanted.

Or the other way round - while we™ claw through evidence I'm the form of hallucinations to prove that LLMs are "stupid", in fact they are pretty capable of using our own system to mimic potentially plausible solutions.

Anyway, I just finished adding the first wave of important tokens and thoughts and bits and pieces important to my #research, and that's what it looks like from a rather high-level perspective.

Quite beautiful, isn't it?

To me, it was especially important that I could add images and mathematical formulae. All no problem at all.

The best: the software is free and all information is stored locally on your device. You can either try to sync with other devices via a cloud. Or pay a little bit for them to take over.

Also, for whatever reason, the plot of #AgentsOfShield touches my personal life at the moment at so many points... It's kinda weird. Almost unsettling.

Personally, I have started celebrating Sweden in the best way possible.

Staying in bed.

It's also funny how Switzerland seems very annoyed by my absence, which directly lead to rainy weather and deflation.

Don't worry, mountain guys, I'll be back. No need to crash the country already.

WAS! Es erklärt so viel. All wir hungrigen Archäologen, vor uns die fetten Besucher, und keiner wirft uns auch nur einen Krümel in den Sand! 😭 Alles ergibt plötzlich Sinn!

Das natürlich vor allem auf kommunaler Ebene, klar. Aber ich halte das für wichtig. Weil man erst, wenn man selbst in der Notwendigkeit steht, ein Problem lösen zu müssen, auch erkennt, wo die Fallstricke und Probleme sind.

Stellt sich raus, am Ende ist es gar nicht so leicht, Politik zu machen.
