No it doesn't. Have you been actually "hacked"?

> why we are using generative models for categorization and extraction

Because LLM models have already amortized the man-years cost of collecting, curating and training on text corpuses?


Yeah, LLMs are a solution to the cold start problem plus they are easy to integrate and if you know what you're doing in terms of evals, post processing and so on you can get excellent performance out of them, plus they can do semantic classification and reasoning that you won't get out of some bespoke traditional DS/ML model.

They amortized the creation of corpuses with trainable features, not the myriad of methods that can categorize text with a success rate in the levels required by high-stakes industries.

Sounds like a lot of work just to avoid doing work.

Can I just type out the code instead? Please?


It is a lot of work, but I’m much more productive and produce better code than when I was running a small team. And I’m not spending 36k a month. As a research stage startup, that’s a really big deal.

I’ve been writing code for nearly 50 years now, and the only thing I like better than coding is getting things done. For me, AI is rocket fuel if you do it right, and a bunch of hypergolic liquid if you don’t.


Yes, but for a limited time only.

Probably not, the tech-savvy politicians know about things like "DPI" and "traffic signatures".

And DoT and ESNI.

I think lots of countries block Cloudflare whole-sale.

Laundering IP addresses for (or against) shady purposes is, in fact, Cloudflare's whole business. It's a wonder Cloudflare isn't being blocked more often.


What? Again?

I lost count, it's how many attempts again? Fill me in.


The gendarmerie already switched.

Only place I know that went back to MS is Munich city council. After MS put a big research office in the town.


As far as I know it was successful for the gendarmerie and assemblée nationale for exemple. There are many public entities and apparently each migration is news worthy

It needs just 1 successful attemp.

> AI is the scariest technology ever made

Well, it's a good thing that all we managed so far is a large language model instead.


Unfortunately there are so many bespoke LEGO brick forms that this doesn't work.

Oh boy. Thanks for the nightmares.
