Those working on language processing in LLM are doing little in AI. Lanugage does not guarantee intelligence and intelligence does not require language. #ai #failure #llm

LLM = Large Language Model. It says nothing about “I”, Intelligence. LLM is just a table of associated phrases. We are already in a race/war to see who can come up with an LLLM, Largest LLM. But a glorified, albeit complex, lookup table is not intelligence. #llm #failure #ai

The role of a writer is to make up stories, make you think, ask questions that make you uncomfortable and squirm, and least of all, entertain. One or more are required. Otherwise, you’re just talking to yourself. #writing #books #reading

I know some of you ignore/don’t respond to my posts. That’s fine. I ignore and don’t respond to lots of yours. But I do appreciate you and those that do. Thank you.

Well, that’s good news. The hurricane is going to move up the coast right on time for my mini-vacation later in the week.

I’m seeing lots of weird posts on the Elephant today. Most dealing with AI and probably generated by so-called AI. The more AI-centric posts I see, the more I suspect AI is involved in generating them. #ai #failure #media

Happy National Underwear Day. Wear your nation’s underwear proudly.

“I have seen stars in number, but not in numbers to tell me that we are not alone.” If you feel you are alone, you tend to feel superior, desperate, or both. #writing #technology #civilization #pollution #failure

What boring thing were you forced to do today? Me? Pay bills. #life

Civilization obscures and mutes the wonders around us, making us believe we, and all we create, are all there is and technology is all-important. apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap24… I’ve only seen the MilkyWay only as a film in a polluted sky. #life #wonder #civilization #technology #failure

Stay fluid-friendly.

An example does not equate to API documentation. #documentation #failure #adafruit

“Just because you fail once in a while doesn’t make you a failure. If you fail all the time, well, that’s another issue.” #writing

Apparently, being progressive is perfectly fine for those wanting to return to the Middle Ages… If you don’t progress, you regress.

I’m still waiting for a new iPad Mini. #apple

Good morning. Yes, I know. It’s Monday. It could be worse. It could be last Monday. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Time to switch it up. Restored Parker Parkette (F) with Colorverse Country Roads #fountainpen

Anyone remember Saturns? The cars? I just saw one.

Plan for tomorrow: – Python – Editing – Eating – Stuff

Hello. The heat has broken, for now, after the rains. It’s a new week. A chance to make new mistakes and problems. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Sometimes, The Three Stooges make more sense…

Ice doesn’t have a chance outside. That is unless, I can get an iceberg flown in. Then, it may stick around for a little while longer.
