Standard experience booking an Uber

“5 minutes away”

I order it

“Finding your driver…”

“Pickup in 7 minutes”

I open my timer

9 minutes and 21 seconds later, it arrives

This is so tedious and I am tired of being deceived at the margin

"They're made out of weights."

"Weights?"

"Weights. Floating-point numbers. We checked the whole thing through. It's nothing but weights."

"Weights doing what? Where do the words come from?"

"The weights make the words. Are you understanding me?"

Can we make a humble model with a bit of self doubt but high internal quality bar?

Its Sad that the Japan has not yet built an LLM, maybe they should.

What is most surprising to me about the OpenAI unit distance result is that they found it. My experience is less that frontier models can't make insights, so much as that you have to wade through piles of overconfident garbage to find them, largely canceling out the time savings.

@arundsharma I asked for it to look for a script from a video game, it said it does not exist over 3 turns and then I a google search led it to being the first result. I pointed it out and then it said, oh I did not search as I relied on my training data.
