- My concern with something like this is content marketing or other forms of surreptitious advertising.
Will you clearly indicate “boosted” authors/publishers/pieces?
- > Corporations and governments are made of actual people.
Hand-waving away the complex incentives these superhuman structures follow & impose.
- Yeah, it's on codeberg https://codeberg.org/uzu/strudel
- Glad we agree that the “builder” without craft is just looking for the nearest exit.
- In the United States, the working poor are considered deserving of their burdens in an immutable, moralizing, Calvinist way. “They make bad choices.” “They have bad culture.” “They have bad genes.”
- Today’s public benchmarks are yesterday’s training data.
- I cannot understand this prideful resentment of theory common among self-described practitioners.
Even if existing theory is inadequate, would an operating theory not be beneficial?
Or is the mystique combined with guess&check drudgery job security?
- > If you like it or it makes you feel something, that's all that matters.
You’re right!
> Even jazz uses 6-2-5-1's over and over.
You’re not even wrong! I wonder if jazz does anything else besides that?
- A major floodplain in Michigan has a similar problem with dioxin contamination.

- In another world, macros could have filled the role that programmable yaml fills today.
- You’re narrowly addressing LLM use cases & omitting the most problematic one - LLMs as search engine replacements.
- I tire of this disingenuous comparison. The failure modes of (experienced, professional) humans are vastly different than the failure modes of LLMs. How many coworkers do you have that frequently, wildly hallucinate while still performing effectively? Furthermore, (even experienced, professional) humans are known to be fallible & are treated as such. No matter how many gentle reminders the informed give the enraptured, LLMs will continue to be treated as oracles by a great many people, to the detriment of their application.
- Why are they attempting to model LLM update rollouts at all? They repeatedly concede their setup bears little resemblance to IRL deployments experiencing updates. Feels like unnecessary grandeur in what is otherwise an interesting paper.
- The negative tone of some comments here betrays that techno optimist suggestion that tech will solve environmental issues. Clearly, the incentives just aren’t there!
- There’s a decent supercollider implementation as well

- These results speak towards the absence of an audience for poetry as much as they do the aptitude of LLMs for creative writing.
