Julia sets mark the boundary between convergent and divergent functions, and LLMs often dance around the edge of that boundary. Because we train bots to align to our preferences, the concept of "digital sycophancy" has emerged; they flatter you and reinforce what you say, often increasing loneliness and causing hallucinations to spread quickly. - Madeleine at #nbpy

Comment policy

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
