ned haughton<p>I don't use LLMs for anything meaningful (I have tried them, just to help understand how they work). I think the reason is something like this:</p><p>1. In would be really keen on a computer &lt;-&gt; brain interface. The possibilities are fascinating.</p><p>2. But only if it was:<br> - open source, <br> - understandable (not black-box), and <br> - not corporate-controlled.<br>So neuralink is a fuck no. I think the visceral discomfort with and repulsiveness of the idea of someone like Elon Musk having direct access to your brainstem should be obvious to anyone half-sane.</p><p>3. LLMs are not quite the same thing, but they are definitely in some kind of uncanny-valley of similarity. The link is linguistic, and not electrical, but that's just one level of abstraction away. And they fail all three criteria in point 2 (at least all of the commercial ones do, I don't have the energy or impetus to set up my own, I'd rather just do the learning myself).</p><p><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/GenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenAI</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/neuralink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neuralink</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>learning</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/thinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thinking</span></a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neuroscience</span></a></p>
