  • I’m not wrong. There’s mountains of research demonstrating that LLMs encode contextual relationships between words during training.

    There’s so much more happening beyond “predicting the next word”. This is one of those unfortunate “dumbing down the science communication” things. It was said once and now it’s just repeated non-stop.

    If you really want a better understanding, watch this video:

    And before your next response starts with “but Apple…”

    Their paper has had many holes poked into it already. Also, it’s not a coincidence their paper released just before their WWDC event which had almost zero AI stuff in it. They flopped so hard on AI that they even have class action lawsuits against them for their false advertising. In fact, it turns out that a lot of their AI demos from last year were completely fabricated and didn’t exist as a product when they announced them. Even some top Apple people only learned of those features during the announcements.

    Apple’s paper on LLMs is completely biased in their favour.















  • No, it gets worse. Adults don’t have the amount of mental plasticity that younger people have. While it’s possible to make things easier through CBT and learning to cope and deal with certain challenges. The mental load of keeping up with daily life ultimately has its toll. Life is getting harder every year for everyone, and having ADHD makes that mental load just that much harder.
