Large language models, explained with a minimum of math and jargon

  • I know its pedantic (we're on hacker news), but you cant treat latitude and longitude as vectors. I know its just for an analogy but enough people misunderstand lat and long already lol

  • So sad, it seemed like such a good article, and then the inevitable, completely evidence-free and wishfully supernatural assertion:

    > This is just one of many examples of language models appearing to spontaneously develop high-level reasoning capabilities. In April, researchers at Microsoft published a paper arguing that GPT-4 showed early, tantalizing hints of artificial general intelligence—the ability to think in a sophisticated, human-like way.

    Pass.
