Of course pre-pandemic, it was around $1200/ounce, and it's been just insane since the pandemic set in until now...

If you think LLMs do not hallucinate, then you are very much filling your head full of LLM hallucinations. That's not great.

You aren't wrong that prompting can improve the situation. However, even in the most rigorously defined tasks, they hallucinate.
Hell, the fucking things even hallucinate tool calls sometimes (amusing the first time you run into that in your agentic code)

And if you do, because you're NASA or some other space agency, may I recommend not using an LLM for that purpose.

Of course since you don't want to either A) have your LLM function as an parachute (very bad!), or B) have your parachute controlled by an LLM, certainly that means they're useful for everything, right?

My wife once told me that she couldn't put the TV up on the wall without help. Divorced her on the spot.

Ya, the percentage improvement is fucking annoying.
Using the dipshit's parachute model, every single parachute in existence has a probability of not opening.
38% reduction of that is universally good.

Whether or not that probability is 50%, or 0.00005% is what matters.

Europeans?

In my experience, visiting Europeans tend to be young people with no money at all.
The median American has more money than the median European, anyway.

Let's look at the real impact of a loss of Eurodollars in the tourism industry in the US.
It seems we're projected to lose ~$12.5B this year.
That's out ~$30500B.
How, oh how, will we ever survive?
Canadians are more concerning. But our neighbors up north are really only sauced over Trump treating them like they're fucking second class US citizens, and they're quick to forgive. Europeans are too busy smelling their own farts and confusing their dreams with the continuance of their relevance.

I was being sarcastic.
I use it for productive work right now.
So do many people.
The industry for people using it for work is already measured in billions of dollars per year in revenue.

If you don't- that's just fine.

This is your key insight. I'd add DamnOregonian's corollary to it, though: Not all work requires a model capable of producing superintelligent output. Sometimes-bordering-on-kinda-dumb-but-also-freakishly-skilled-in-certain-ways is also perfectly sufficient at times.

An analogy would have required a similarity. A parachute and an LLM are not similar. The consequences of an LLM hallucinating, and a parachute opening are not similar. What they did, and you swallowed, because you too do dumb shit like this- is believed, incorrectly, that you can compare two unalike things and call it an analogy.

What it actually is, is a logical fallacy- a false equivalence.
"If you told me that the newest nukes killed 38% less innocent people, I still don't want to get nuked".

I swear to fucking god you get dumber by the day.

I think you should perhaps read better before commenting.
No argument existed in that post. What did exist were 4 unsubstantiated claims, with the final one being obvious satire (unless we accept the premise that humans can generate code 4 years before they're conceived).

I'm not sure a concept, even as simple as this, could be explained to you.

I'll try anyway.
They've made an investment. As part of that investment, the corporation will agree to a licensing deal with ~$1B/yr for Disney. Money they would otherwise not have gotten.
Their investment will make money, and the licensing will make money.
OpenAI benefits by pushing out the time at which they need to become profitable.

Nothing about this is even strange. It's normal startup behavior.

What they have not done is given away their copyright. In fact, if anything, this serves as an acknowledgement of their copyright by OpenAI.

Do you read this site? The AI luddites are fucking vicious. You can see their desperation grow as AI progressively fills the gaps in their Intelligence of the Gaps argument. They're not far from firebombing offices.

By buying into a company, like anyone else... I can't believe you seriously asked that question.
I have revenue streams from several private and public corporations that I own stock in.

Simple, just add the US as a friend.

I agree- you should probably not use your LLM as a parachute, or other things where any hallucination has an equivalent outcome to a parachute not opening.
That was not an intelligent argument. Try again.

For sure- they're at least the right color, right?

Nonsense. These things are useless. Only fools buy them. They produce nothing but hallucinations, and can't generate code past a negative 5 year old level.
Trust me, I read that on slashdot.
