Brewers mgr was ejected. Got his 2 min in. Guess he said something not so nice and then blue started pushing his way to the dugout and poking one of the coaches.

A little bit shorter - pretend we’re playing a ________ where I leave a word or phrase out. Your job is to guess what that word or phrase is. Did you guess game? Congrats, you’re a human LLM 😉
Joseph Gruber (he/him) (@josephgruber.com) reply parent
It knows that the next words or phrase might be this or that. But it doesn’t know if this or that is the correct, factual value. It’s a mathematical guess. And it’s realllllllly good at guessing when it has a vast majority of humanity’s data in its brain. But it still doesn’t *know* the sky is blue
Joseph Gruber (he/him) (@josephgruber.com) reply parent
I guess to make it a bit simpler. Think of the Computer from Star Trek. That would be artificial intelligence. It knows facts. It’s know’s the difference between true and false. It can intelligently learn. OTOH, LLMs are the autocomplete on your phone. But much more advanced. 🧵

You and I may know they’re not “intelligent”, but based on my discussions with folks who don’t breathe tech everyday, they truly do believe these are intelligent systems. Words matter in those cases.
Joseph Gruber (he/him) (@josephgruber.com) reply parent
These “tools” are not intelligent. Full stop. They are a mathematical amalgamation of language which it uses statistical inference to “sound” human.

If you are, like me, generally opposed to how Large Language Models are being positioned and used (and not regulated currently) one very simple thing you could do is to stop using the term “AI” to describe them. When you do, you’re buying into the linguistic and conceptual framework of your enemies.

Every advance scouting report on Phillies will note their issues with rundowns between first and second base. That's two botched ones in six days.

I used to be a card carrying member of the Republican party over a decade ago. Hell, I knew Marco before he went nuts. They truly believe these are the “big” problems. Whether through brainwashing or cultural indoctrination.

The sad part is they do believe they’re solving problems (illegal immigrants, jobs taken by those immigrants, etc etc). They truly live in a different world than I, and I believe you, do.
