  It's kind of funny, and kind of sad, that the people who predicted LLMs would plateau as a technology just underestimated how many resources the powers-that-be were willing to throw at them.

  I wonder if it'll ever be revealed that the most popular 1/5 of leftist social media accounts are actually CIA plants sent to sow division and ensure that The Left remains powerless forever

  it's kind of funny that on my last trip to New York, I got every single negative stereotype about the city confirmed to me within just one day: -I saw a guy pissing on the metro -the streets were full of garbage -there were cops with rifles at one of the metro stops for some reason, just standing around -my friend, who I was visiting, lived in some hipster ass part of Brooklyn that was somehow both sketchy and insanely upscale

  *chokes down unrelenting hate* haha yeah I think LLMs can have some use in programming. I'll say any bullshit you want if it means I won't get auto-rejected for the work lottery.
