Grateful to The Verge for publishing my essay on why large-language models are not going to achieve general intelligence nor push the scientific frontier.

It drives me crazy how when you say anything negative about AI people jump in to tell you how they use it but it's for [reasonable application] so it's fine. not all men-ing for LLMs
this website is so infested by anthropic brained midwits it's unreal
really don't even have to make the joke here
Why do I still exist in fear of some app that thinks it’s better than me overriding my system and making some stupid fucking sound
I don’t understand why electronic devices still don’t have a “DO NOT MAKE NOISE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES” button
I’m *very good* at not checking bags but sorry six months is an insane standard and just not possible for a woman unless it’s like, explicitly a trip where formality is waived (field work, or something)
Male opinion
"In practice, compounding prediction error [of LLMs] makes long-horizon interaction brittle." That's essentially the core of educating, in some ways -- long-horizon interactions between human teachers and their students. LLMs, brittle! To the point of being useless.
Just say you don’t know what a semi group is. It’s ok. You don’t have to start invoking the god in the machine—no really. You REALLY don’t. You’re embarrassing yourself
Like people literally getting got by work done 40, 50 years ago because no one has been paying attention to structure detection in sequences because no one wants to think about time except dynamicists
It’s so fucking annoying when people are like “LLMs aren’t parrots, could a stochastic parrot do THIS [something that demonstrably yes a probability of sequences finding algorithm is capable of]”
Guys you just don’t understand how they work. That’s ok you don’t have to start endowing sentience
Hello! I'm glad this is making the rounds, as sometimes it feels as if we're pretending the so-called hallucination problem has gone away. It hasn't. It won't. But more importantly, this poses a particularly pernicious harm for education that I think is not well understood. So, a short thread...
I don’t know how many times you can say stochastic before you’re forced to accept the troubling reality that most people just literally don’t understand the concept of probability
I think I’ve given up on literally anyone understanding what LLMs are at this point. Like the knowledge is just not fucking sinking in
No - that's not big, and it's not right. Interns are usually net time sinks, at least if you're being fair to them in how you use them. Interns are not free labor, they're a way to pay forward.
I expect an intern to often cost me time, and that is fine. LLMs costing me time is not fine.
The French act lie marseille is a fucking pvp zone but the most danger i’ve been in so far is from stroller pushing gays pushing me out of the way on the sidewalk
Sometimes when I think about my life I just start laughing like….i literally just did some math….i just did some math and they imported me to France. Amazing
I may have eaten too many sardines to be capable of going to see chateau d’if
Ă©videmment le sole non
In some ways French culture is practically identical to northeast American culture
He just slung two cafes at a table and then stepped out to smoke a cigarette…what the fuck
Marseille is kind of unreal I just went to a sardine restaurant where the owner (who looks like a character in a Marcel Pagnol film) is literally singing while slinging oysters at patrons (who do not get to pick what they eat)
I am going to eat so many oysters…I am going to become more oyster than woman…
Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)
Listen it’s just making up for the wage gap. Ok.
We can’t tell them that pretty privilege is real but it kind of is — girl who gets her wine comped half the time
In martinaise for the next 48 hang out if you’re cool
So funny to hear straight women be like “I’m so tired of men I want to date women” id like to see you try!!!!!!! Come back to me in six months bitch
Love how we had this series of extremely contentious and contemptuous interactions with this website's higher ups where they pretty much told us to our face "Yeah we're using Al to code, you fucking peasant. Deal with it." immediately followed by a good month of very frequent outages on the website.
