  • I’ve begun to think of LLMs as compression algorithms for patterns. It can take an existing pattern and apply it on unusual subjects. Like take the pattern of a limerick and apply it to the patterns of Danny Devito, that’s the upper limit of their creativity. So rather than storing information, it stores these patterns making it seem more dynamic.

    The way I see it, human creativity is the combination of patterns but in a chaotic non-analytic way. We make leaps of logic that without precise knowledge of our brains can’t be exactly replicated. Meanwhile LLM’s just do the basic combination of patterns that result in the most generic realization of any idea.

    However the well dries up as soon as we stop training them. They’ll store the basics of any field but fail to replicate new developments or conclusions until trained.


  • In these situations the asker is typically skeptical that your a “real fan”, usually because of sexism.

    It doesn’t really matter how you answer because they’re not asking for a genuine conversation, they want a dick measuring contest to prove they are superior. If you do fulfill their request chances are they’ll nitpick the songs you chose and still accuse you of being a “fake fan”.

    Gatekeeping often comes with moving the goalpost so the only winning move is not to play.

    A genuine asker would probably ask about your favorites rather than demand they answer trivia.




  • I’m early Gen Z with a kinda poor family. So I had CRT’s and old VHS but also grew up on the internet.

    I feel an extreme gap between me and people a few years younger. I graduated in 2018 so I was some of the last people to have a traditional highschool experience. Before Covid, Zoom, and Chatgpt.

    I also mostly grew up with computers instead of phones so Im only just now getting into TikTok, I’ll likely never truly revolve around it like many others (both older and younger than me).
