The advancements in this space have moved so fast, it's hard to extract a predictive model on where we'll end up and how fast it'll get there.

Meta releasing LLaMA produced a ton of innovation from open source that showed you could run models that were nearly the same level as ChatGPT with less parameters, on smaller and smaller hardware. At the same time, almost every large company you can think of has prioritized integrating generative AI as a high strategic priority with blank cheque budgets. Whole industries (also deeply funded) are popping up around solving the context window memory deficiencies, prompt stuffing for better steerability, better summarization and embedding of your personal or corporate data.

We're going to see LLM tech everywhere in everything, even if it makes no sense and becomes annoying. After a few years, maybe it'll seem normal to have a conversation with your shoes?

    We used to ride the heavy dual sports through pretty much everything, but this mud hole got him good. He ended up trying to wedge out with a dead tree, but it knocked his chain off, making the situation much worse. Eventually we pulled it out with a z-line and got the chain back on.

    If you're in a situation like this, and shit ain't moving no matter what you do, lie the bike over on it's side (yes in the mud) and pull the front and rear until you're on something more solid. Your paint will not thank you, but it's better than leaving it there to get recovery tools.

    Any data sets produced before 2022 will be very valuable compared to anything after. Maybe the only way we avoid this is to stick to training LLMs on older data and prompt inject anything newer, rather than training for it.

    When I had a CRF250L, I'd regularly have women come up and ask how heavy it is, because they're thinking of buying one. I'd put the bike on the ground and show them how to lift it. So... weirdest thing is dropping my bike intentionally to let women pick it up for me.
