AI seems to be popping up everywhere, so it’s no surprise that it has made its way into software development. Fortunately, it’s not here to take over, but to make our lives a whole lot easier and a bit more fun. There we go: a four-day work week

In the USA? Yes. And people thought the influences on our 2020 election was suspect? The 2024 election is saying "hold my beer..."

The notoriously confrontational tech site SemiAccurate claims that Qualcomm is cheating on the benchmarks of its new Snapdragon X Elite and Plus laptop processors, and Qualcomm has now responded to those accusations. There are four kinds of lies: Lies, Damned Lies, Statistics, and Benchmarks

Using his previously formulated Second Law of Infodynamics, Vopson claims that the decrease of entropy in information systems over time could prove that the universe has a built-in “data optimization and compression,” which speaks to its digital nature. He just saw the same black cat again
And by "evidence" he means a full word salad of bafflegab. I'm certain that Saint Carl Sagan would have something to say to him.

After skimming the article, its central point seems to be that LLMs can't reason. They merely do a great job summarizing and regurgitating the data that they've scanned, so it's hard to know how accurate they are. This hardly comes as a surprise given the many documented, deranged responses from various LLMs.

The dirty little secret is that LLM is that training... it is essentially stacking the deck and then managing to pull an ace... maybe > 50% of the time.
But it's still "luck". We've rigged the game by telling it what we're most likely talking about when we say x.
This is a fundamental issue when it comes to contexts where it absolutely shouldn't be allowed to be wrong (like handing it its own reigns).
