       who would winrunning convex optimization on a few hundred million tokens of scraped text vsa bare minimum amount of programatic effort to analyze common query phrases and connect them to the relevant databases

       even building robust indices of the texts ingested by an LLM would be a better use of computational resources. recreating information from them probabalistically is just such a dumbfuck idea.

       i feel like i was innoculated against llm hype because in like 2015 i spent a few hours laughing my ass off at the half-successful attempts to generate MTG cards and the absolutely unsuccessful experiment where they tried to do the same thing with a database of recipes and i was like oh, it works for MTG because nothing in that game refers anything outside of the symbols being manipulated

       @tholindeth using the llm to translate text in to RDF triples to throw up a graph store is a thing some people do. works decently well, surprisingly.
