Things I learned at “#MentalHealth camp”:

• #Trauma is a wound to the body, mind, & spirit.
• Trauma, while caused by past events, actually lives in the body, in the present.
• Healing from trauma does not require re-experiencing the event. We can heal from trauma that we don’t remember.
• A multimodal approach to trauma recovery is ideal. Not every mode works for every person.
• The behavioral model for mental health is fundamentally broken pseudoscience.

i low key don't want to see a big jump in #LLM or #AI capabilities anytime soon. rn they're capable enough that my mom wants to use them, but bad enough that even she has an intuitive sense for when they're wrong

that's how you build "AIQ", the skill of using it. Lots of people toying with them, to feel out their capabilities and limitations

i missed this develoment — the top #LLM on the open LLM leaderboard right now is a 10.7B model. All the top spots are variations of it. that would fit into most commodity GPUs easily. It's beating out all the 34B & 70B models https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.15166 #LLMs

There’s an LLM called Grok? What the fuck. Seriously. Tech bros understand the absolute most obvious thing from your favorite piece of science fiction, please.
The meaning of grok is in the plain text! We’re not even talking about obvious metaphor, it’s just a made-up word for truly deep understanding and you’re going to name your idiot, fabulist, word generator after it?!

Friends who are older than me: do you have any good stories of encountering spam on the early internet? (PLEASE BOOST FOR REACH)

90s or pre-2005 please!

I might end up quoting your example in an article 😊

@protonmail Hello! When will your tools (i.e. cloud storage, calendar, etc) be available for #Linux clients, not just Windoze? Thank you:D

Thought:

1. #LLMs aren't trained on data after 2021

2. Most writing becomes done by LLMs

Does that mean our language will start becoming frozen in time? Slower change?

Everyone is talking about Copilot on GitHub like this is new, but I figured it was pretty obvious from the beginning that’s why they acquired it. So what did people think of the acquisition if they didn’t think it was to use all the data to generate an assistive AI?is this honestly coming out of left field? Or is this just the moment where people are begrudgingly acknowledging the situation?

i wish i knew more about comparing #embeddings. anyone have resources? one thing i’ve wondered is how to convert an embedding from a “point” to an “area” or “volume”. e.g. an embedding of a 5 paragraph essay will occupy a single point in embedding space, but if you broke it down (e.g. by paragraph), there would be several points and the whole would presumably be at the center. is there a way to trace the full space a text occupies in #embedding space? #LLMs #LLM #AI #NLP

#LLMs are just compilers of databases

Finalizing a pretty scary piece of content. This is weeks and months overdue, and in many ways the culmination of a lot of my work so far in 2023.

I’m about to lay my heart and story bare, backed by data and a lot of receipts.

Stay tuned. Trying not to get too paralyzed by fear of what I’m about to publish 😅

I love #KurtVonnegut so much I even created a #GoodReads account to highlight quotes. Let’s be friends there: Check out my profile on Goodreads!

Great big open-source projects

I was talking to a friend today, and suggested using #Matrix for a community we're both in, instead of Slack. #fediverse , you know, and open source, and actually has tools for enforcing standards of conduct. They asked, "Is there a server written in #perl ?"

There is not. The reference implementation is in Python, and it's massive. Others have been written in Go and Rust and even C++. But there's no reason it shouldn't be doable in @Perl ...
