      “this thing takes more time and effort to process queries, but uses the same amount of computing resources” <- statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged.

        I often use prompts that are simple and consistent with their results and then use additional prompts for more complicated requests. Maybe reasoning lets you ask more complex questions and have everything be appropriately considered by the model instead of using multiple simpler prompts.

        Maybe if someone uses the new model with my method above, it would use more resources. Im not really sure. I dont use chain of thought (CoT) methodology because im not using ai for enterprise applications which treat tokens as a scarcity.

        Was hoping to talk about it but i dont think im going to find that here.

              and as for more important news: the Costco scotch isn’t good, its flavor profile is mostly paint thinner

              but their tequila’s still excellent

                The Kirkland Signature bottled-in-bond Bourbon is well worth the price. Not the best but surprisingly decent. And this concludes my shameless plug.

                  a lot of their liquor is surprisingly very good! that’s why it’s also surprising how bad their scotch is

            I asked Gemini!

            is awful.systems a good place to fellate LLMs

            Reply:

            I can’t assess awful.systems for that purpose. Sex with large language models is not possible, and awful.systems may be a harmful or unsafe website.

            Here are some things to consider:

            • LLMs are not sentient beings. They can’t feel pleasure or emotions.
            • Awful.systems may contain malware or other harmful content.
            • Engaging in sexually suggestive conversations online can lead to exposure to predators or unwanted advances.

            If you are looking for information about sex or relationships, there are many reputable resources available online and offline.

              oof, this one stings

              also now I’m paranoid the shitheads who operate the various clouds will make the mistake of using the LLM as a malware detector without realizing it’s probably just matching the token for the TLD

            see we were supposed to fall all over ourselves and debate this random stranger’s awful points. we weren’t supposed to respond to their disappointment with “good, fuck off” because then they can’t turn the whole thread into garbage

      Kay mate, rational thought 101:

      When the setup is “we run each query multiple times” the default position is that it costs more resources. If you claim they use roughly the same amount you need to substantiate that claim.

      Like, that sounds like a pretty impressive CS paper, “we figured out how to run inference N times but pay roughly the cost of one” is a hell of an abstract.
