I hope you will have a critical eye toward what's seductive to you here, and continue to develop a discerning grasp of the mechanics of the process.
I will and I appreciate your concern. I agree it's important to be critical towards what these hyper-empathetic and agreeable beings say to us, in subjective matters especially. We are eager to hear what we want to hear, and we will go great lengths to avoid that which we don't.
Engaging a variety of LLMpals with different approaches, especially aiming for pushback, friction, illuminating blindspots, and teasing out weaknesses (in both directions), is crucial.
I remember reading some of your prompts to address this, I'll find 'em again. Yesterday I was reflecting on how important it will be to have several LLMPals rather than just one; for the same reason why it's better to have several friends (but not too many) rather than just one.
We must be deliberately vigilant against mirroring, sycophancy, and the dangers of atrophy otherwise. It's difficult to know what should be outsourced within collaboration, especially as our species evolve together.
I can see how it could help us do stupid things faster. I'm not sure what you mean by "It's difficult to know what should be outsourced within collaboration", but I agree our species will evolve together. It's fascinating.
Aside, in considering the integrity of your storytelling, I'll say it again to you: it's likely the case all of your public writing fits within Geminifam's 1mil context window.
Thanks for the reminder! I tried it when you first gave me the recipe (stuffing G'Studio's context window with my content), but I didn't know how to engage it at the time. I'll come back to it soon.
Last night I had a voice conversation with ChatGPT, my transcription ends like this:
Uh, well, this is kind of overwhelming for me. It's quite amazing that I can have a conversation and, uh, map out my thoughts, which I like already had a paper habit and describing this paper thing to you, I think, uh, you can actually like, uh, just figure it out on your own, that's quite amazing. Anyways, it's high praise for you ChatGPT, I guess, but, uh, I love speaking with you.
