@GaryMarcus Hey Gary.
You get a lot of abuse, some warranted 馃槀 some not!

I actually totally agree with you that the LLM may plateau, that scaling will hit a wall; however that doesn't mean they're useless. They're incredibly useful and I use them often. They code well to do basic tasks.

Yes, it has all been charade.

Three years on, it it is STILL hit or miss which models can do which tasks in which contexts on which occasions.

LLM may as well stand for Large Lossy Models.

@GaryMarcus @elonmusk They've been doing this charade for 3 years now.

The statement by @PaliHistory constitutes public discourse as it engages in a debate about the capabilities and limitations of large language models (LLMs), which is a public issue related to technology and its societal impact. The tone of the statement is defensive and corrective, aiming to clarify a perceived misrepresentation of the speaker's views on LLMs.

  1. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in dialogue by addressing a misrepresentation, but it does so in a defensive manner that could be perceived as slightly confrontational. However, it does not resort to personal attacks or ad hominem arguments, maintaining a focus on the content of the discussion.
  2. Principle 5:
    I will acknowledge and correct my mistakes.
    The statement acknowledges a misrepresentation and attempts to correct it, which aligns with the principle of acknowledging and correcting mistakes, although it is more about clarifying the speaker's position rather than admitting a personal error.聽[+1]
