That misses the point of the post. They have actual uses; just not what they are hyped for.

I, for example, have a mixed receptive-expressive language disorder.

LLMs have been life changing for me. I can write out rambling scrambled attempts at saying things, and ask it to reword and make it concise and clear. Or I can ask it to analyze something I wrote.

But I always write it first, then have the LLM do a pass, then I come behind and study/correct the output.

So not every use is dumb, just like lasers are useful in science.

When they called the function, they didn’t specify any cells. The copilot function, like any other Excel function, cannot see cells that aren’t given to it.

The second argument is blank, so it just Gave a typical answer to a sum question.

Some ion trajectories involve constant low acceleration. It really adds up time. You accelerate halfway there, then decelerate the rest of the way.

The dawn spacecraft mission to ceres has 48,000+ hours of gentle acceleration under ion propulsion. That’s 5.5 years of firing. But it gets over 38,620 km/h of delta-v (acceleration).

To me, it died when they allowed users to hide their post and comment history. Enables bots and bad faith behavior.

Learn how the government works if you’re gonna prescribe how it should act. The Democrats have no power to 25th him- only his hand picked cabinet can do that.

Now they DO need to be filing impeachment every time he does something wrong and just add it to the growing list and make them have to go through all of it every time. That’s all they can really do.
