tachikoma: sure but i mean an LLM in a single session and context running continuously even after it has solved whatever issue the user gives it. the GPUs/server would continue to run and serve other users ea…

tachikoma: this isn't even denying science that's not understandable or too imperceptible to notice (like climate change), it's just empirical results in front of your eyes, in minutes
jake: the person you're replying to is one of the core developers on the site you're using to post this, so maybe you don't work on the same kinds of projects... but devs work on *massive* software proje…

tachikoma: computer, reframe this tweet but with chess engines in place of LLMs

tachikoma: i think it depends on whether you're imagining future AI as full-fledged autonomous agents like humans or whether they remain as tools. so long as they're tools, a human needs to use them and the c…
