       | Is llama 2 a good fit considering its small context window?

       | I presume you want information of some value to you otherwise you
       | wouldn't bother reading an article. Then you feed it to a
       | probabilistic algorithm and so you _can not have_ any idea what
       | the output has to do with the input. Like
       | https://i.imgur.com/n6hFwVv.png you can somewhat decipher what
       | this slop wants to be but what if the summary leaves out or
       | invents or inverts some crucial piece of info?

           | so that I know what the overall points are and can follow the
           | writing better. Too much long form writing is written like
           | some mystery thriller where the writer has to unpack an
           | entire storyline before they'll state their main thesis, so
           | it helps my reading comprehension to know what the point is
           | going in. The personal interest stories that precede the main
           | content always land better that way.
