    I believe the biggest systems right now are at 500 bits at most. Why this is an issue: add one more to the chain of entangled qbits and the whole chain is twice as likely to collapse.

    I think it would be infinitely better for an LLM to walk a user through the use of the formula in their specific use case rather than do it for them The one time I used it (via the Microsoft 365 Copilot), that's exactly what it did. It only created the table in the spreadsheet that I wanted and then explained how to do the formula, explained the bits and bobs of the formula, showed me the code and told me where to put it. Sure, if I was lazy, I'd just copy-paste without thinking, but the information was there. but that won’t sell as well because most people don’t want to learn to use a spreadsheet they just want to do a thing and move on to something else (...) with an asterisk and fine print stating that it’s for entertainment purposes only and that whoever isn’t liable for any false information At the same time, you could be arguing that calculators should be teaching people how to do maths, instead of just giving them the result, right? It's actually a bit similar to LLMs, because, well, if you don't know how maths and calculators work, you can get a result that's horribly wrong (try 3+2*3 on any simple calculator and you'll get 15). I just had my place of work upgrade me to Windows 11 this week (...) I was directed by Microsoft to download the “Office 365 Copilot” app which downloaded the office installer So, first of all, it sucks that your IT didn't have the tools to handle this for you in the first place. Secondly - that's just Microsoft being Microsoft. They love changing names and making things as confusing as possible. Although now Copilot is part of that app, when they originally introduced the new name, it was just a rebranded Microsoft 365 App. We were joking that it was done by some middle manager so he could boast that "100% of Office users now utilise Copilot". Last time I tried to use it I was given hallucinated nonexistant python modules and powershell commands that wasted my time I haven't yet seen an LLM that didn't invent PowerShell modules, although recently Copilot's been pretty good.

    Always wondered what happened to this guy after he gave up on stealing Pee Wee Herman's bicycle.

    Then all hope is lost and there is absolutely no point in fighting, all it will do is annoy people who try to read your messages. If writing weird can have an impact on the world, I'm sure a lot of other things can too.

    I remember an Arthur Clarke novel where a space ship needs water from the planet below. The easiest thing is to lower cables from space and then lift some ice bergs.
