  • The challenge with LLMs is often giving them the right context.[add][ade]
    • It's not that they lack a baseline common sense, it's that they don't know anything about your particular situation if you don't tell them.
    • This is an insight from Jesse Andrews in the comments of last weeks' reflections.
    • Often it's hard and tiresome to tell them all the background knowledge you need them to know.
    • LLMs are in a dark room; each conversation is a fresh start where you have to start from scratch giving it background knowledge about your particular goal and context.
    • This all implies to me that the LLM "montage" kind of breakthrough will be around wrangling contexts.
