Dmitrii Kovanikov disagree. If you want zero hallucinations, you had it for decades that is Database. you store whatever you want and ask for it (at atomic level) exactly the same thing with SQL. Hallucinations Are a Feature, Not a Bug sublayer.com/blog/posts/hal…

1/ Can Large Language Models (LLMs) truly reason? Or are they just sophisticated pattern matchers? In our latest preprint, we explore this key question through a large-scale study of both open-source like Llama, Phi, Gemma, and Mistral and leading closed models, including the

"Overall, we found no evidence of formal reasoning in language models including the recent #OpenAI #GPT-4o and #o1-series. Their behavior is better explained by sophisticated pattern matching"

Large Language Models don't reason. Thank you, Apple.

I know people are leaving Twitter, but the algorithms also seem to be mysteriously (or not so mysteriously) working against some of us. I know that some followers of mine have somehow automatically unfollowed me (without them doing that), and that my posts are hidden or buried. I

People posting LLM generated code as if they are correct is a great illustration of the danger of using LLMs, especially for reasoning tasks. Lower your guard and they will play you for a fool.

Simon Willison Wittgenstein is basking in his moment of glory.

my mom (who's a university professor) did something interesting last year: she assigned her students to give chatgpt an essay question, have it write a paper, and then proofread/fact check it. nearly every single student in that class came out of that assignment anti-chatgpt.

Israel has spent the past year desecrating international law on live TV. Now it is waging war on the UN itself, including 10,000 peacekeepers from 50 countries stationed in Lebanon. What will it take for the UK to end its military, economic & diplomatic support for Israel?

Israel has just won the war crime of the century prize: The IDF used chemical weapons on UN peacekeepers! x.com/unifil_/status…

Nothing worse than going to submit a letter of recommendation only to learn that there are 10 ranking questions and 20 specific text boxes to fill out. Please, please, please just let me upload a letter of recommendation. I am begging you. No one has time for this.

🇵🇸🇮🇱 In case it was unclear: 1) This is the yard of the Al Aqsa hospital 2) These are patience connected to life supporting medical machines 3) They’re burning alive and can’t get away

Iran's attack on Israel was a) aimed at military targets and b) didn't kill any Israeli civilians. The result? The UK imposing sweeping sanctions on Iranian officials and organisations. Israel wipes Gaza from the face of the earth. The result? The UK keeps arming Israel.

For most of the history of computing, the correctness of calculations was essential: business use cases demanded it as did all of the embedded uses whose failure might yield considerable human or economic cost. At the turn of the millennium, the subtle turning of political

I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI). I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right. Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird. I open my original photo. No bra showing. I put

When I was young I fixed my parents’ computer and now that I’m older I fix computers for my kids. Are we the only generation that knows how computers work?

It is morally wrong to use AI detectors when they produce false positives that smear students in ways that hurt them and where they can never prove their innocence. Do not use them. bloomberg.com/news/features/…

Ryan Briggs We grew up on Windows 95, an operating system that just about wore its organs on the outside. Kids today grew up on tablets and phones with operating systems that barely let you get to root. 1957 Chevy vs 2024 Prius.

As people keep saying, ChatGPT is impressive until you start using it for things you're knowledgeable about or an expert in, then you realize just how shoddy and unreliable it can be. Confidently wrong is the name of the game.
