I’m starting to think that it’s important to generally push back against anthropomorphism with regards to LLMs. There’s way too much of this: “it understands”, “it likes”, “it hallucinates”, “it knows”. This is confusing/dangerous for people who don’t know how LLMs work.

Shock and awe didn’t work as planned for the military.

The world all of us Americans have lived in is one where—despite our griping & not awesome moments & political narratives—the United States has been an engine of innovation, prosperity, security, human progress
