there would be terabytes of X garbage (and non-garbage) used
for training material. Meta used LibGen, which is 7.5
million books and 81 million research papers. Among these
books are many math textbooks. What’s fascinating to me is
that ChatGPT will say, “No, that’s not correct” in response
to a technical proposition, but for other topics it will
riff in indefinite and complex ways in response to complex
queries. This makes sense from a business perspective:
Technical users won’t use these services if the answers
don’t speed their work along. On the other hand, if
conversation is the user’s goal, it makes sense to keep
riffing but without challenging the user too much. </span></p>

<p>yes, the difference between a "bar friend" and a new colleague at
a tech conference... both can be collegial and conversational but
the latter is more likely to insist on significant technical
seriousness. The bar friend may well have their own "standards"
but are more idiosyncratic to their personal hangups and while
they may want to be "right" in any given moment, they also want to
continue the conversation (if not with you, then the person on
their other side?)<br>
