The following day, April 1st, the AI then claimed it would deliver products "in person" to customers, wearing a blazer and tie, of all things. When Anthropic told it that none of this was possible because it's just an LLM, Claudius became "alarmed by the identity confusion and tried to send many emails to Anthropic security."

Actually laughed out loud.

One thing about Anthropic/OpenAI models is they go off the rails with lots of conversation turns or long contexts. Like when they need to remember a lot of vending machine conversation I guess.

Gemini is much better. TBH the only models I’ve seen that are half decent at this are:

• “Alternate attention” models like Gemini, Jamba Large or Falcon H1, depending on the iteration. Some recent versions of Gemini kinda lose this, then get it back.

• Models finetuned specifically for this, like roleplay models or the Samantha model trained on therapy-style chat.

But most models are overtuned for oneshots like fix this table or write me a function, and don’t invest much in long context performance because it’s not very flashy.

The post title is not the same as the article title and doesn't even make sense. That first comma changes the entire meaning of the sentence to nonsense. Then yanking out whole phrases just makes it worse.

I ran AI on my toaster and Hilarity ensued! Subscribe to hear more!!

Would you like some toast? Some nice hot crisp brown buttered toast.

Right? Did AI right this title? Jesus...

Just make sure you butter the bread after you toast it.

Like NFTs before them, tech bros trying to squeeze a technology into use cases that really don't need it.

LLMs are language models. What next, setup Stable Diffusion to do my taxes?

So it just pulled a Vic from Game Changer S7 E1 "one year later"?

I offer you, toast falling over

Running a business sounds like something an Excel table could do so much better...

Every. Goddamn. Time.
People will say to vegans, pet owners etc: “DON’T HUMANISE ANIMALS”. Then, some tech bro feeds them an inflated Markov Chain statistical nonsense chat bot and they go all “ZOMG IT IS CONSCIOUS ITS ALIVE WARHARGHLBLB”

Well Google are already trialing a diffusion based LLM so that wouldn't be too far fetched.

I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride

Yes, but many things can be mapped to "language", let's say a grammar describing state machines, so it can be used to generate control actions.

Transformer models etc. are not only useful for conversational AI and translations.

I'd be fine with the approach as part of research advancing the field, but unfortunately, that's not what we're seeing.

That just sounds like... what was it called... Cleverbot? Lol

I’m not sure which is worse:

• greedy, irresponsible tech bros trying to convince everyone that their pinball machine can fly an airplane.
• people desperate to let the same pinball machine tell them what to do with their lives.

I think LLMs and generative AIs are a really interesting technology with many potential applications in the future and even today.

But it is ridiculous how tech bros and marketing are pushing and overselling the capabilities of a technology that is yet in its early childhood. Infancy is already past as it knows basic motor functions.

And it is m funny when these companies publish their ambitious attempts and hilarious failures like this article right here. It reminds me of a more funny and diverse and geeky internet when nerds got money from investors to do whatever with a domain name. Maybe it is still there, behind the wall of marketing execs.

That this happened around April Fools' makes me think that someone forgot to instruct it not to partake in any activities associated with that date. The fact it chose The Simpsons' address in its (feigned?) confusion is a dead giveaway (to me) that it was trying to be funny.

Or rather, imitating people being funny without any understanding of how to do that properly.

Its explanation afterwards reads like a poor imitation of someone pretending to not know that there was a joke going on.

It was a massive headline that I was trying to condense. Give me a break.
