@aral @SheDrivesMobility The voters do, but the government doesn’t care. The voters forget and elect the same people again. Rinse and repeat. Sadly often the answer to “Why do they do x instead of y, when y has to be more popular” (at keast in Germany).

> Do people in Germany think this is the right course of action? According to the latest poll, a clear majority believes the chancellor should increase pressure on Israel.

@zzt @jaffathecake This is an interesting read, but I struggle to find a proper demarcation criterion that

(1)separates LLMs and other types of „AI“, while
(2)allowing for a translator to be part of the last group.

I think we might have reached a point where not just „AI“, but also „LLM“ is starting to lose its (already underconstrained)meaning.

@jaffathecake This article claims that LLMs are always transformers. This is not true, in fact the first LLMs were LSTMs (https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.04517).

@firefoxwebdevs How are the models not LLMs, if they are trained on large datasets and generate text?
