alt Hacker NewsYeah I think a lot of us are taking knowing how LLMs work for granted. I did the fast.ai course a while back and then went off and played with VLLM and various LLMs optimizing execution, tweaking params etc. Then moved on and started being a user. But knowing how they work has been a game changer for my team and I. And context window is so obvious, but if you don't know what it is you're going to think AI sucks. Which now has me wondering: Is this why everyone thinks AI sucks? Maybe Simon Willison should write about this. Simon?

Who's everyone? There are many, many people who think AI is great.
In reality, our contemporary AIs are (still) tools with glaring limitations. Some people overlook the limitations, or don't see them, and really hype them up. I guess the people who then take the hype at face value are those that think that AI sucks? I mean, they really do honestly suck in comparison to the hypest of hypes.
