We'll be spending a lot more time trying to understand the outputs of language models. A few thoughts, tips & tricks:

Writing. Something I've had success with: Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for "80% of the way to ASD-STE100" because the spec is quite stringent. But even better:

Diagrams / images. Instead of writing, ask your LLM to create a diagram. These can be a lot easier to process, parse, and understand. But even better:

Web pages. Ask for output "in HTML" to get a beautiful, interactive webpage. LLMs are getting really good at frontend and can create beautiful experiences, animations, etc. But even better:

Explainer videos. The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Experiment with things like "Create a 3b1b style video explainer on X. Use my ElevenLabs API key for audio narration". (you'd need an API key for the latter or you can ask your LLM to find you decent free alternatives that use your local compute). This is actually starting to work!

In summary:
- As LLMs get better, they will do more and more of the legwork autonomously, and a lot more of our work will rise up the abstractions into oversight and understanding.
- Luckily, LLMs can help here too because as intelligence and code are increasingly abundant, you can ask for large, custom, discardable software artifacts (e.g. web apps, video explainers) that would have never made sense to create before. Push the boundaries here and you'll be surprised.

@altonbrown I think it can be summed up with: Haters gonna hate.

@Battlefield any ETA on a working key-mapping function? I can't play with the stock bindings :(

Congrats to Michael Stipe! Now he can start that R.E.M. cover band he always wanted.

@AltonBrownSucks @altonbrown I dont think either party took this as seriously as some followers did. twitter is a terrible medium for dialog

[Tim Fournet @zaf337]

@AltonBrownSucks wait, is this BA?

[Tim Fournet @zaf337]

@Gamewiz_X Yeah, looking forward to enjoying it until Fox cancels it just when it starts getting good. #terranova

I'm trying to have parallel conversations: slaw and .45 pistols. And I'm really not having a problem.

@altonbrown kraut, toasted hoagie bun, grilled brat, and good strong mustard

[Tim Fournet @zaf337]

@alyankovic That's OK, I can get you a great deal on a DVD rewinder!

[Tim Fournet @zaf337]

@altonbrown I was actually kind of hoping you'd stay out of twitter. Much prefer your posts on Google+. You just need to read your replies!
