It is refreshing to see problems being solved by AI that are not LLMs. There are so many day-to-day challenges that we could solve using data, machine learn and some creativity.


This is technically true I guess but assuming the YT comment I just read represented it truthfully, it was an LLM that wrote it.


It's well established that machine learning excels at solving classification problems, or those that can be reduced to one.

It saddens me that we're wasting so much of that potential on those stupid stochastic parrots that solve all those non-problems that no one has ever had. It saddens me even more that so many people are absolutely sure that LLMs are "smart", or that they can "think", or even that they're somewhat conscious. And that even if they're not quite that, one more order of magnitude of scale will definitely give us an AGI. Oh that didn't help? Then one more, that will definitely be it.

One real problem that LLMs have solved is that they made natural language processing as a discipline obsolete. They also usually don't suck at summarizing long texts, except when they sometimes do. But that's it, really.


If you look at the github page it was an LLM that wrote all the code. Makes sense as corridor are not software developers.


This is a pretty cool project! Thank you for open sourcing it!


I loved it. Pretty hilarious and actually with a good reading flow.


This!!! And especially foreign private equity home ownership!


Looks like tryreason.dev is down now or is it just me?


To me https://tryreason.dev is working. Which browser are you on?


Firefox and chrome. I'm getting a timedout error.


That's weird. Can you access using this URL https://tryreason-www.vercel.app/ ?

EDIT: if that also doesn't work, there is the documentation — which is where 99% of the info is: https://docs.tryreason.dev/


You have the same name as the billionaire guy. Are you him? :)


"Beej's Guide to Networking" book is phenomenal!


Amazing team! John McCarthy was the guy! Invented Lisp around this time!


Hey this is pretty cool! I will try it! Thanks for sharing it.


We should plant more trees for sure! Not because of carbon, but because of covering the soil. Check back to garden of eden documentary. Covering the soil is the solution to end hungry! Why? Watch the documentary.
