“Honestly, the easiest thing is to fire up Clade Code in a directory, and tell it you want a gpt-2 size model to train. It will walk you through the whole thing Also Karpathy 🙌 has a video here that walks through it www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8pR...”

Eugene Vinitsky: LLMs are closer to grown than designed. This is what people mean when they say we don’t ”understand” them nor can ”control” them
e.w. niedermeyer: if only there were some kind of precedent that might allow us to wrangle with this! us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Sarah T Roberts, PhD: Try teaching college students. You won’t be quite so dismissive then.
Pwnallthethings: I think the "LLMs can't reason" stuff is mostly sophism these days. They plainly do not "reason" in the way humans do, and are certainly not always correct or good at it, but they are also doing th…
