  • Retrospective 2024-24

    This is a retrospective of week 24, 2024 (2024-06-10–2024-06-16). This week, I’ve read an article about the persistent inaccuracies which plague Large Language Models (LLMs). The authors argue that it’s more accurate and useful to describe “AI hallucinations” as bullshit. These models replicate human language without any concern for truth. This is a serious problem…

  • Retrospective 2024-01

    This is a retrospective of the first week 2024 (2024-01-01–2024-01-07). I will write in both English and Swedish because I write for myself.

  • Playing with ChatGPT

    I played with ChatGPT this morning (Nov 10, 2023). This is what happened: User (me): Please, make the language in the following paragraph simple, clear, and succinct: It is profoundly misleading to compare an organism to a machine.
