@SouthwestAir tell me you know how to kill a brand without telling me you know how to kill a brand. Well it was good while it lasted.

This is a good example of bias being built into the LLM's

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

One important caveat about LLMs is that they tend to “believe “ common myths because they appear frequently in training data & are unlikely to be corrected by RLHF.

For example, unless it internet searches, GPT-4 discusses “learning styles” as if they were real. Other examples?

[David Maples @DavidMaples]

@itsPaulAi Yeah. But who owns your data now? Pro tip. If it is free "you" are their product.

What gets generated versus what gets posted

Expecting perfect results every time you run a prompt is a fantasy

[Maxime Peabody @MaximePeabody]

the number of stars a project has on Github is no longer a signal of quality. It just means it's been hyped on Twitter and a bunch of devs starred it to look at it later.

Every time someone shows me something like this for LLMs that looks promising, I try it, and realize I wasted my time.

Show me the actual value created by the tool, not just a fancy demo

@QuickBooks @QBCares Impossible to get a correct solution with this company. I think they are just trying to run out the clock until we go away.

[Catapult Creative Media @letslaunchthis]

People who don’t learn from their misstakes need an #EditButton. We aren’t ashamed of hour errors because we learn from them.

[David Maples @DavidMaples]

@QBCares So to recap 6 hours in: QB messed up and we did nothing wrong but we are responsible for cleaning up your mess. #dantesinferno What circle is this? 8 #runfromQB @QuickBooks seems to be company that doesn't fix its mistakes

[David Maples @DavidMaples]

@JohnNephew Understand your frustration with Quickbooks. Not to get your hopes up but you could try tweeting at @QBcares there is a chance they might. They got me back on the phone with support. #brickwall #QBdoesntcare #heyeveryonehas5hours

[David Maples @DavidMaples]

@QuickBooks @QBCares Trying to get a fix for a payroll error Quickbooks caused. Stonewalled and frustrated. Caveat emptor if you use QB for your business. Really don't want to turn to the courts for resolution

Just because our team works remotely doesn't mean that we don't cut loose sometimes. Thanks to everyone who attended last night's luau-themed trivia night!

@NateSilver538 Please let Ossoff win by 11,780

[The Book of Boba Brett @Snywalker]

Well, shit. I guess I can return all of this flannel.

[David Maples @DavidMaples]

@HPSupport is a total waste of time.

[David Maples @DavidMaples]

Oh hello Twitter. I think I might stay and visit for awhile.

Somebody should also remind Trump that while the Chinese sometimes lose, they never back down

Asking them to lose face is like trying to persuade the Germans that they worry too much about inflation
