NEW POST

Unmesh Joshi and I had an interesting email conversation about how when programming with an LLM he likes to grow a language of abstractions.

Conversation: LLMs and Building Abstractions

How should we work with LLMs when growing abstractions?

Ever read books about plot structures? Imagine being trained your whole life to write stories according to one culture’s storytelling rules—only to realize those rules don’t fit another culture’s way of telling fiction? This is what I realised when I started writing wuxia and xianxia stories - genres that are uniquely Chinese.

This is when I discovered that the traditional Chinese stories are structured differently, with different thematic emphasis, and probably will go against the "rules" of modern Western literature.

What happens when one storytelling style dominates the world?

Half-formed thoughts about the global dominance of Western fiction and how it may be overshadowing the storytelling styles of different cultures.

Nox Archaist is a nice 8-bit RPG which looks like an #Apple2 computer game... because it is an Apple 2 game! The making-of is available on Steam too: store.steampowered.com/app/1935890/... #retrodev #retrogaming #retrocomputing 5/9

In the story, the #BrokenTimes wonders at Trump's magical talent to "evade controversies that have dogged him" and "pivot the national conversation." And how does he do that? Because news media help him with headlines like the one on this story.

@jeffjarvis Exactly.

@jeffjarvis Mostly a case of leveraging "the vast power of the presidency" to make the media want to express support.

@jeffjarvis — the NYT headline writers need a refresher in English 101.

@davew @jeffjarvis I hope English 101 includes reading 1984.

@billd

Is that a joke?

Show threadJust a BillSep 10
@davew No. It provides context about language (such as headlines) being used to support an autocratic government and suppress dissent.

"It's complicated" sounds like the proto-excuse someone gives you before you dig and they have to dance around being entirely at fault.

@jeffjarvis From the UK ambassador to the US to NYTimes covering, how many NYT decision makers are on the Epstein list?

Its the only question I have of the Paper this far into this. There are no alternative explanations on the table.

@jeffjarvis They could at least have gone with '*challenge* his denials'.
