Repple (she/her)

I haven’t tried in a while, but shortly after gpt4 came out I tried to play chess against it. It just completely changed the board position nearly every move making illegal moves, adding pieces etc. do current models keep track of the board and make legal moves without special prompting to help? Were these assisted by agentic tools handling state?

I believe one of Apple’s papers covered this, that chain of thought and other techniques that increase accuracy decrease perceived creativity. Memory is fuzzy though

I have to use it for work by mandate, and overall hate it. Sometimes it can speed up certain aspects of development, especially if the domain is new or project is small, but these gains are temporary. They steal time from the learning that I would be doing during development and push that back to later in the process, and they are no where near good enough to make it so that I never have to do the learning at all

Same, I tend to think of llms as a very primitive version of that or the enterprise’s computer, which is pretty magical in ability, but no one claims is actually intelligent

Buttons and shorts? Yeah, I also like watching bottomless people sometimes.

N64 games were $70 in the 90s. We’re still way below that with inflation

Chairs are overrated. I pretty much always choose the floor. Even the couch tends to be used mostly as a backrest for sitting on the floor

Even if they found the drive (unlikely) and it wasn’t smashed (not sure how likely), It still seems really unlikely that the data would be recoverable after being in the elements that long with rust and whatnot.

Best battle system in the series. Biggest complaint for most people is how slow it starts. For me it’s how long it takes to get my favorite characters.

It’s certainly not moving as fast as their promises (what ever does), and perhaps has slowed, but for me at least it’s too early to call a plateau. Perhaps someone who works in the field or follows more closely can provide a better characterization, though.

I’m sitting here really hoping that models hit a plateau in capabilities soon. Continuing to get smaller/more efficient would be great, but if the capabilities of our best models would plateau for a bit and give society time to adjust to the impact I would be very happy.
