Subj : [$] Imitation, not artificial, intelligence To : All From : LWN.net Date : Tue Jul 23 2024 22:00:06 [$] Imitation, not artificial, intelligence Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2024 20:58:58 +0000 Description: Simon Willison, co-creator of the popular Django web framework for Python, gave a keynote presentation at PyCon2024 on topic that is unrelated to that work: large language models (LLMs). The topic grew out of some other work that he is doing on Datasette , which is a Python-based " tool for exploring and publishing data ". The talk was a look beyond the hype to try to discover what useful things you can actually do today using these models. Unsurprisingly, there were some cautionary notes from Willison, as well. ====================================================================== Link to news story: https://lwn.net/Articles/982289/ --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 (Linux/64) * Origin: tqwNet UK HUB @ hub.uk.erb.pw (1337:1/100) .
