Covid diaries Day 3: Swigging salsa from the jar, watching Westworld, naps, clicking on things

Typical January 2nd, in other words

Artificial Language Models have a gullibility problem. This isn’t a critique of #LLMs, #chatgpt but a suggestion we think of AI built from natural language text sequences as addressing a huge part of the puzzle. Perhaps as important as lungs are to breathing. But we still need blood flow, krebs, diaphragm, etc for them to be useful, not to mention liver, nose, nasal hair, brain… Let’s not mistake a street for a city, or panic because it is not city-like.

Another #LLM example with #ChatGPT. I pasted in the icalendar sample from https://icalendar.org/
You can just say:
> Convert this to schema.org json-ld: BEGIN:VCALENDAR blahblah blah.

(ALT for 2nd image, of validator.schema.org results) Looks like it invented a couple of properties we didn’t have a good mapping for, but still pretty impressive.
