one of the quotes i find most inspiring on a hard day:
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom"
Ecclesiastes 9:10
if you're not happy single, you won't be happy in a relationship.
true happiness comes from closing 100 chrome tabs after solving an obscure programming bug, not from someone else

Update to this slide 👍, a lot has changed since 2018–21.
1) “Common sense”: modern models score high on community tests (WinoGrande, CommonsenseQA).

2) “Understand context”: today’s systems can read book-length inputs (1–2M tokens).

3) “Learn from few examples”: few/zero-shot has been standard since GPT-3.

4) “Needs huge task data”: pretraining is heavy, but in practice we adapt with tiny domain data via RAG + LoRA.

5) “Explain decisions”: still hard, active research in explainable AI.

Takeaway: progress is real (context, few-shot, efficient adaptation), but transparency/explanations remain open problems.
