  • It’s just supply and demand. It doesn’t matter how long you have to be trained or how many PhDs you have. Like it takes years to become a decent 3D animator, but those guys get paid peanuts compared to many other jobs that require the same amount of training. Since there are thousands of desperate fresh grad animators looking for a job every year. For every job at Pixar there is a line waiting for someone to get fired.

    Also why for example plumbers and electricians get paid really well nowadays sometimes more than people with advanced degrees. Since there is a shortage of plumbers and electricians.












  • It’s not a bug. Just a negative side effect of the algorithm. This what happens when the LLM doesn’t have enough data points to answer the prompt correctly.

    It can’t be programmed out like a bug, but rather a human needs to intervene and flag the answer as false or the LLM needs more data to train. Those dozens of articles this guy wrote aren’t enough for the LLM to get that he’s just a reporter. The LLM needs data that explicitly says that this guy is a reporter that reported on those trials. And since no reporter starts their articles with ”Hi I’m John Smith the reporter and today I’m reporting on…” that data is missing. LLMs can’t make conclusions from the context.


  • Because many of these people are just fucking dumb and don’t have much going in their lives. Seriously talk to an ultra fan and all they do is talk and think about their club. They have wrapped their entire lives and persona around the club. When their club loses they feel like that’s an direct attack on their own person, because the club is all they are. So because they feel attacked they have this urge to defend and lash out. Combine that with booze and cocaine and multiply that with hundreds of bozos and you have yourself a riot.

    I live next to a sports bar. And many of the patrons definitely have lost a couple of screws.

    Last week in my city people rioted because they couldn’t watch their precious football game. Because the cops were on strike and the mayor banned the match because of that. It’s like these people can’t find joy in anything else. Just football, booze and cocaine. Basically Bread and Circuses.
