LLMs neither understand nor analyze text. They are statistical models of the text they were trained on. A map of language.

And, like any map, they should not be confused for the territory they represent.

If you admit that they have issues with facts, why would you assume that the randomly generated facts their "analysis" produces must be accurate?

So, what? They're going to pay a human to OK the output and the whole lot of them never even gets seen?

Say 12 minutes per covenant, that's 1 million work hours that humans could get paid for. Pay them $50 an hour and it's $50 million. That's nothing, less than 36 hours worth of the $12.5 Billion in weapons shipments we've sent to Israel in the last year. We could pay for projects like this with the rounding errors on the budget for blowing up foreign kids, and the people we pay to do it could afford to put their kids through college.

Instead, we get a project to train a robotic bigotry filter for real estate legalese and 50 more cruise missiles from the savings.

The use of LLMs instead of someone that can actually understand context.

The latter is correct.

English has a fixed adjective order:

Determiner

Quantity

Opinion

Size

Age

Shape

Color

Origin/Material

Qualifier

"Versatile" is an opinion and "modular" is a qualifier.

"The single, versatile, large, new, round, blue, local, modular thingamawidget."

Given the error rate of LLMs, it seems more like they wasted $258 and a week that could have been spent on a human review.

It's inflation plus 2%, nothing spectacular but still a solid win for the union.

Local races are actually important even if the electoral college makes my solid blue state federal votes worthless.

Trump knows he's going to lose and isn't wasting time with the paperwork.

Y'all seem to misunderstand, Harris already won the election months ago when Biden dropped out. It isn't defeatism to resign myself to another four years of trying to convince the Democrats to maybe stop helping boil the planet and blow up foreign kids.

Specifically, ones that aren't chock-full of mobile game enshittification and in-app purchases?

I don't mind paying for games but I'm sick and tired of predatory monetization schemes and will immediately uninstall a game if the tutorial insists on showing me a store page.
