gather round kids, it's time to sing the monopoly song
eyelid twitching
sure, we barely understand all applicable bio systems, let's have some shitty model dream up answers on how things work! it'll go great
Much as a chatbot can discern style and perhaps even meaning from huge volumes of written language,
going to have to add this author to the List, aren't I
please excuse me while I infinitely recursively scream into the void
Large Generative AI Models in telecommunications
(this shit has been getting airtime at a couple of different networking conferences, and it's all as ridiculous and pointless as you'd blindly guess)
you must click the video link

my neck hurts and I should've stretched
the amount of doublethink and newspeak this is attempting to push is remarkable
also afaik thiel isn't one to regularly demean himself to writing tidbits such as this, is he? I don't recall seeing nearly as many words from mr likes-it-private as I have from andreesen et al
we regret to inform you that mullenweg is still posting through it
no matter how unhinged you may expect this to be on starting to read it, you're probably guessing low
