What LinkedIn post did this blow in from?
Mistletoe··on The Millennium Problems for Biology
I’m going to be honest, I don’t know if improving Rubsico is possible. Nature has had every reason to and billions of years. It’s optimized as far as it can go and you either lose speed or specificity, I don’t think having both is possible.
Mistletoe··on New evidence for hidden chambers beyond Tutankhamun's tomb

Let’s look to the past:

Mistletoe··on The shrinking landscape of linguistic diversity in the age of LLMs
“In this case we will probably have one of the last feature films with authentic natives in it. They are fading away very quickly and its a catastrophe and a tragedy that's going on and we are losing riches and riches and riches and we lose cultures and individualities and languages and mythologies and we'll be stark naked at the end. We'll end up like all the cities in the world now with skyscrapers and a universal kind of culture like - like the American culture.” -Werner Herzog, Burden of Dreams (1982)

I’m reminded of that wonderful quote from that movie I just saw. Now not only will we have one culture, we will have one bland style of writing and even thinking, the LLM way.

Mistletoe··on “It works better in the app”

Mistletoe··on Nvidia agrees to acquire Hugging Face for $13B
Absolutely none of this makes sense and the thing that amazes me is how long it has continued. Future historians will just laugh at how stupid and obvious the crash was.
Mistletoe··on Study reveals UnitedHealth's profit margins four times what it claimed [pdf]
I really don’t think you should do this. It just makes you look dumb, not authentic. There is a lot more to LLM writing than perfect grammar and punctuation that gives it away.
Mistletoe··on Tim Curry has died
