when I was young we used to play lots of poker with my colleague mates, one day one of my friend said "any of yall seeing the cards before you sleep?"
replyI think that's whats happening with some of yall, seeing tokens every day in the screen then thinking you're just an llm as well.
I struggle to imagine the inner life of someone who would say this.
replyI expected someone would say this.
replyThat’s how it feels like. ;)
More seriously, the only time where you’re jolted out of your prediction flow state is when you’re surprised, which means something happened counter to what your brain was predicting.
Same! I do think a vast majority of tasks are essentially next token prediction, but that's why I'm thinking that long, creative thinking periods will be what's actually valuable/rare.
