I'm actually in need of a service like this but have been unable to find anything close to it until yesterday when I saw a video that twelvelabs dropped showing off their new model. Initially I was extremely excited, but then after trying to dive in deeper, I realized that I can't find anything about this company. The video even makes it seem like they already had a model out there capable of doing this, but I can't find any clips of that being used by a neutral party. I want to give the engineers the benefit of the doubt here. But I think we've all worked at companies that had a "sell first, solve later" philosophy, regardless of engineering opinions. Im considering asking for a demo and making them go off-script to see if it really is vaporware.
Honestly this is a perfectly valid concern. I mostly use it as a jumping off point. Sometimes we don't have the language required to do our own search on a subject.
If the LLM can give me a bird's eye view of the subject, then it enables me to go off and do my own research and come with my own conclusions, even if they don't align with what the LLM originally told me.
The fact is, there's a ton of misinformation on the Internet. Doesn't matter if you're getting your info from an LLM or not, you should almost always be trying to get your info from multiple sources if possible.
Hey man this is going to sound really weird but when I just saw your name, it struck me as super familiar. Like I know I've seen your name on GitHub somewhere. I started going through your public Repos and I figured it out!
The first commit I ever made was on a fork of one of your projects over 5 years ago. I wasn't a software engineer then, I was just some guy learning to code in his free time.
Anyways I just wanted to say thank you. I know it may seem silly. But your code gave me the scaffolding I needed to take some important first steps towards where I am today. I'm now a senior software engineer/team lead!
Wow, that’s really wild! Yeah, I remember this — 8 years ago Pokémon go came out and I was working on some projects to reverse engineer the API. Now I’m reverse engineering neural networks. Go figure.
I had an encounter like this in real life. Turns out Tom Scott was a really early contributor to POPFile. He was a teenager and I’d never met him. Had been enjoying his YouTube channel for a long time. One day he interviewed me at some conference and thanked me for accepting his commits when he was a teen.
I did notice that it referred Spinoza as if his views were in opposition to Panpsychism.
Spinoza actually proposed that God(consciousness) exists within all things, and that studying physics and the nature of the universe is to study the psychology of God.
Like he's literally mentioned on the SEP page for Panpsychism [1]
I see where chatGPT would get confused. Spinoza is identified as a Rationalist, which is generally more aligned towards determinist thought.
Looking at it, I wonder if perhaps Spinoza's views are already in alignment with both Deterministic and Panpsychist thoughts (which, as others have mentioned, are not inherently mutually exclusive anyway).
I think your question is getting into the field of martial arts lineage. People might have their own narratives/ mythologies around this, but here's the most neutral way I can explain it: As techniques and styles evolve over the years, people come up with new names to describe those styles. Name similarities will often imply closer ties in lineage.
As a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practitioner, I cringe when I see it spelled any other way, but also I have to recognize that I only feel that way because I have more exposure to that specific martial art/spelling.
A well-balanced and nuanced representation of the subject.

But really, I come to HN for quality content. Regardless of topic, posts tend to lean towards the direction of intellectual honesty and good-faith arguments.
I used to teach a computer science class to elementary-middle school kids.
I always did a week on internet literacy, and would open the lesson with a worksheet that included this fella, along with a number of other fake animals, and some that look fake, but aren't.
Each kid was supposed to come up with a summary of what the animal was, where they live, what they eat, etc.
It was a lot of fun, but I've got to say... Parents: please take some time to teach your kids how to critically evaluate information that they read online.
I've got a similar situation here in Baltimore. The community I'm a part of here is like nothing I've ever experienced. We actually have a neighborhood telegram chat of ~70 people where we post about neighborhood events, parties, etc. My wife and I have a great circle of friends within this community and it led us to buy a house a few years back(before the market got all wild). We just had our first kid, and there's plenty of other newborns popping up so I'm looking forward to seeing them all grow up together!
