Technology is not inevitable. We've decided not to have asbestos in our walls, lead in our pipes, or carginogenic chemicals in our food. (If you're going to argue that it's not everywhere, where would you rather live?) We could just not do LLMs. It's allowed.

We've been on X/Twitter for many years, but it's time to reduce our activity there and instead promote Mastodon as our main social media channel now. So we've done just that: https://x.com/LibreOffice/status/2026204949760131158 – Welcome to all our new followers here 😊

so I enabled this thing where your mouse cursor grows when you shake it, it's handy when you can't find it on screen

but it doesn't have an upper bound on the scalar, so if you keep shaking it long enough it eventually goes like this 🀩 it's so big 

What is your favourite Wikipedia image, I'll start with the

David Lynch Remembers Attending the Beatles’ First American Concert in 1964

What would a language model trained on all of the literature present in 1500 look like? No doubt it would spout a lot about God and the geocentric model.

Would we expect it to ever develop the heliocentric model, Newtonian mechanics, or Ricardian economics?

Exponential growth is self-similar at all scales, so suggesting that LLMs can push the envelope of 21st century knowledge and beyond is akin to claiming that our hypothesised 1500s GPT could do the same in its own time.
