There is some confusion about whether or not we understand LLMs. The answer is yes and no, but mostly no. It's a complicated enough question that it seemed like it needed an article.

Let's have some fun. In this NYT story, we see a picture of an OpenAI billboard on a college campus, suggesting the following prompt: "Give me a guide for mastering this Calc 101 syllabus. In two weeks. Small steps please."

What happens when we actually use ChatGPT to do this? THREAD!

“Can ChatGPT experience joy or suffering? Does Gemini deserve human rights?” our tech columnist asks. “Many A.I. experts I know would say no, not yet, not even close. But I was intrigued.”
Should We Start Taking the Welfare of A.I. Seriously?

If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl ad that featured hair flying off people’s faces, I’d have two nickels.

That’s not a lot of nickels, but it’s a weird thing to have happened twice.

This format will use a transfer market system (sort of similar to FM).

You build a squad. You then choose a starting XI from that squad for each gameweek.

If you want to buy another user's player, bid for them. Negotiate.

Unhappy with one of your under-performing players? Transfer list them.

I updated my College Scouting dashboard with a filter so you can see just players who are attending the MLS College Showcase ahead of the 2024 Superdraft. By selecting the "yes" button, it limits the player list to just those invited.

See the full dash here:
