Lately it feels like I’m actually settling into my role at work. Been at this new job for 8 months now and things are crystallizing in a good way.
It’s very strange to acknowledge that I’m a subject matter expert in my industry, my employer feels lucky to have me, and my job is basically coming up with industry-shaping ideas and telling people how things should be done.
Honestly, it’s a dream.
@nyhan So, I have been slowly and reluctantly coming to the conclusion that LLMs are the One Ring:
• They are seductive by appealing to a person's best nature
• By convincing the user that what they most ardently desire is almost within their grasp and they are right and good to want it and deserving of having it, they slowly turn the user into Gollum
• They are probably feeding everything the user whispers to it right on to the evil guy on the back end of a Palantir
Instead of referring to money in thousands, millions, and billions, we should refer to it like storage in a computer.
kilodollars (k$)
megadollars (M$)
gigadollars (G$)
People born after 1980 would more intuitively appreciate the gap between their k$0.862 in the bank and some jerk’s G$335
