For absurd, I think one would want the LLM's configuration language to be more like INTERCAL; but this may also be more explicit about how your instructions are merely suggestions to a black box full of weights and pulleys and with some randomness added to make it less predictable/repetitive

@fasterandworse @dgerard I am pretty sure I have seen programming the computer in plain English used as a selling point for various products since the 1970s at least

the best part is that most of these products are ex-products

@dgerard @YouKnowWhoTheFuckIAM But the most interesting thing I found was the flash cards. You see, we've been training meat-based neural networks to do this for a while. Now I wonder what I would find if I looked into radiology.

@dgerard @YouKnowWhoTheFuckIAM About a decade ago I was working with (kinda sorta) a guy who wanted to do a start-em-up that would involve machine recognition of situations from electrocardiograph recordings, in real-time so as to give the cardio outpatient early warning that they should call for help. At that time the buzzword was Machine Learning, but also I looked and found the published research to be voluminous and ongoing for some decades.

Buried in that piece is the probable typo but certainly pointed "On X, the platform formally known as Twitter"

@dgerard "more sovereign, decentralized, and open AI" just reads like something that's meant to "run on the blockchain" and given the processing capacity I think we'll be able to sneak up on it and get it dressed in sovereign citizen style
