Their trash will become completely irrelevant way before that.

More proof that money is meaningless.

You can't expect it to measure time if it doesn't have an internal clock. I'm sure it could be done if you give LLM necessary tools and system prompt

He looks like a guy who got intentionally hit with lacrosse sticks over and over and over in high school because he deserved to be hit with lacrosse sticks over and over and over and we should maybe make it an annual event to hit him in the face with lacrosse sticks because he looks like a guy who deserves to be hit in the face intentionally with lacrosse sticks over and over and over.

It's become more and more obvious that the reason he regularly looks like a rabbit caught in headlights is because he is, in fact, a fraud and not the tech genius he would like everyone to believe.

I just used the voice feature in my truck to enter an address for Google maps like always, it came up as Gemini with a long speech. I repeated the address, it asked me if I wanted the location in my home city or one in a city over 400 miles away. Regression with exponential cost.

Makes me so angry. All the problems that couldve been solved with that kinda money. Climate crisis. World hunger. Population migration. Housing affordability.

If Trump triggered WW3 and we all got nuked id be fine with it. We don't deserve to exist.

This will actually be solved in a week. All it takes is to add the current time to each input.

Why's this need to be on the LLM? They control the app, can't they just make a tool call out?

This is most unhinged take from both sides.

Time can’t exist in LLM by design: it’s just a thing that predicts next token based on previous tokens. There is no temporal relation between tokens. You can stop and resume generation at any point. How anyone expect it to “count time”? Based on what? The best you can do is add time mark to model input at some interval.

Simplifying, somewhat complex biological systems have some kind of clocks that actually chemically tick and induce some kind of signal that they can react on.

LLMs can’t do that like at all. They never will. Some other architecture that runs in cycles? Maybe. But transformer shit? Never ever.

The public fundamentally misunderstands this tech because salesman lied to them. An LLM is not AI. It just says the most likely thing based off what is most common in its training data for that scenario. It can't do math or problem solve. It can only tell you what the most likely answer would be. It can't do function things. It's like Family Feud where it says what the most people surveyed said.

Its a Large Language Model, not a Large Number Model.

To be fair, timers are hard.

He's going to ask US Congress for a bailout with taxpayers money when this all fails and Congress is going to most likely give it to him because this one company is a huge part of the US economy

Shit like this is a reminder to me that a large portion behind some AI products' hype are people who have no clue what these products even do. I wonder how the world would change, if these jack of all trades who ~~invest~~ waste so much time into collecting ideas to fill up their pockets, instead spent more time on actually understanding the ideas they have chosen and build at least a fundamental knowledge.

Even if it could, it would be an order of magnitude more inefficient in terms of convenience than the stopwatch we already have on our phones.

"Hey ChatGPT, do the thing I could have done in 3-4 clicks on my clock app."

Not to mention the sheer wastefulness in terms of energy. A MINECRAFT REDSTONE MACHINE TIMER WOULD BE MORE EFFICIENT. (Not to mention that, unlike SOTA LLMs, it can run offline on a phone)

Wow, the only thing Siri is generally competent at.
