The concern with LLM's as any sort of source of truth is that they have no concept of facts or truth. They simply read training material and then pattern match to come up with a response to input. There is no concept of correct information. And unless you fact check it, you will not know if it is correct or it's reasoning is sound. Using this to teach is dangerous IMO. Using the word reasoning is a anthropomorphising it too; it's just pattern matching.
Could we develop some adversarial system that fact checks it in the future? Possibly. But I don't know of one that's effective. Besides, good luck determining what is true when your training set is the internet. Or having it account for advances in understanding.
From the article you linked:
The incredible capabilities of large language models like ChatGPT are centered on how they have been trained on a vast corpus of knowledge. They provide us with an unparalleled resource for information and guidance. As your virtual professor, LLMs can guide you through the intricacies of each subject for deeper understanding of complex concepts.
That's a very naive take on LLMs. It assumes that because the training material is valid, it's output is valid. It is not!
I worry about the future where LLMs become the basis of information exchange because outputs "look right".
Show me a system that can guarantee correct answers and I'm 100% on board.
Instead of comp, here's a pool table. That'll keep everyone in the office!
My favorite way to end brushing my teeth.
Yes, that's exactly the feeling. https://youtu.be/AbSehcT19u0
I hope you are able to find a doctor and get some relief.
Started first ever activity log after diagnosis, and oh my god
It's amazing how much ADHD I've been fighting moment to moment without realizing it.
I work in a bit of a chaotic job where work is generally self directed and I get a constant flow of email, messages, and people coming to talk to me. I just got my ADHD diagnosis and have an appointment for medication coming up. I decided to do an activity log to see what I was doing in a day so I could compare before and after medication.
I tried to plug in my phone 4 times in the span of an hour before I finally did it. Like had the end of the charger and my phone in hand and got distracted because I realized I forgot/needed to do X, Y, Z. I set out the day with a goal and before I knew it I had a half dozen half written messages, a longer Todo list, and no work done towards what I needed. Guess what I'm doing this evening? Lol
How long has this been going on? I knew I was struggling with motivation and focus, but it blows my mind how present it is moment to moment.
Fingers crossed for medication.
I would highly recommend doing an activity journal as a point of reference. Within a day it has already put things into perspective for me.
I had not thought about having the sunscreen leech into the water. Thank you for educating!
This is fantastic and it's marked high priority. Glad it's in the system :).
Thanks for checking. I'll make sure to do the same
I'm sure the majority of users are not aware of this and are putting themselves at risk by uploading.
I'm taking applications for a second brain, feel free to apply
YSK: Don't use spray sunscreen on even a remotely windy day
Or ever.
It's difficult to know when it's been properly applied. Stick to something that you can be sure is applied properly to exposed areas.
How do you will yourself to the right thing? Is it a matter of creating the right environment? Being mindful?
Yeah, but one day the thousands of browser bookmarks will come in handy. Right?
The per degree temp control is a huge win along with the spout. Itll also stay warm for 30mins, optional beeps when done heating, and you can have it boil water automatically for a specific time. I really enjoy mine.
I have the same one. Mainly got it for temp control for white tea and figured having per degree control was a huge plus. Plus it's so nice artistically
I feel like I've entered a Google interview
Ugh, I hate that this resonates.
Does medication help with this?
This is really going to hurt them in the computing race. My understanding is they were already trying to reverse engineer the old ASML machines that they had access to. Between this and America's chips act we may be on the way to moving the world's chip manufacturing center away from China/Taiwan and leaving China without the means to catch up (barring some big discovery/leak).
I was recently diagnosed from a neuro-psych. Similar process of many hours of testing (~5h). My friend was also diagnosed recently from a psychiatrist through question answer, but no formal cognitive evaluation measure. The amount of clarity I got from the neuro-psych in terms of cognitive function and my specific circumstances was significantly more helpful than what my friend got from the psychiatrist.
After all the formal testing, I was given a thorough 17 page report including a breakdown of each aspect of cognitive functioning, any applicable disorders (with recommendation for therapy to investigate further and confirm), next steps, and treatment and coping mechanism recommendations. My friend was given a broad diagnosis of unspecified ADHD with no additional information.
If you are able to afford the neuropsych eval, it is well worth it.
Exactly.
At the end of the day people like him are allowed to have so much influence because of regulations (or lack there of). Tax them, hold them accountable legally, something.
No! Adding it to the watchlist, thanks!
