Does using authoritative sources is fool proof? For example, is everything written in Wikipedia factually correct? I don’t believe so unless I actually check it. Also, what about reddit or stack overflow? Can they be considered factually correct? To some extent, yes. But not completely. That is why most of these LLMs give such arbitrary answers. They extrapolate on information they have no way knowing or understanding.

Why do you even think that? Children don’t ask questions? Don’t try to find answers?

This is something I already mentioned previously. LLMs have no way of fact checking, no measure of truth or falsity built into. In the training process, it probably accepts every piece of text as true. This is very different from how our minds work. When faced with a piece of text we have many ways to deal with it, which range from accepting it as it is to going on the internet to verify it to actually designing and conducting experiments to prove or disprove the claim. So, yeah what ChatGPT outputs is probably bullshit.

Of course, the solution is that ChatGPT be trained by labelling text with some measure of truth. Of course, LLMs need so much data that labelling it all would be extremely slow and expensive and suddenly, the fast moving world of AI to screech to almost a halt, which would be unacceptable to the investors.

Happy birthday.

I call it The Price of Love.

I just realised that we are more worried about mortality of our loved ones than our own.

Running in circles in an open field is a worthwhile aspiration. We should all aspire to it, IMO.

What is a polite way to say “f**k off”?

Being able to explore the world is much more satisfying to me than being able to beat a boss. To me exploration is the main appeal of the Elden Ring.

The material is too ductile. I am at the peak of a narrow yield curve and then, snap, material breaks.

The sign cannot stop the cat, because he can’t read.

There is a mod called Easy Mode mod that you can use.

Honestly, it was not enough. With Easy Mode mod, I could actually explore the game world and immerse myself more than I would ever have. One of my favourite moments is when I was fighting Dragonkin boss in front a giant throne occupied by a massive skeleton in first underground city. It was amazing. I could never experience it without that mod. I am too easily frustrated.

I thought souls- like fans love tough bosses. Enjoy it then. I think they should git gud. /s

For full disclosure, I suck at souls-like and I beat Elden Ring by cheating(completely offline). I have been called Mentally removed for wanting an easy mode. I don’t like souls like fans, not all, just some of the more hardcore ones.

First it was blockchain and NFTs. Now it is AI. It is almost like these execs are full of shit.

Testing? Nah, it’s for tasting.

So, Todd is denser than a neutron star.

Honestly, Naruto did let me down. I choose not to believe this obviously real screenshot.

I am disappointed that I exist.

Not by much, but I sure am excited about AAAAA games.

Don’t worry Geoff, when it comes to AAA games, my expectations are already at rock-bottom. I expect almost every single AAA game to have some kind of catch be it microtransactions, or live service, or some shitty launcher requirement, etc.
