My favorite Hacker News comment in a while!

Could you break it down for someone who isnt in the know?

  • “We used LLM technology, which is great at parroting content, to attempt to predict what the US president’s spokesperson would say at their next conference.

    We used that as input for ~gambling~ purchasing a position on a prediction market, which has been popularized recently in part due to its ability to circumvent gambling regulations.

    However, even the LLM couldn’t parrot the words of the spokesperson. The implication is that the spokesperson speaks so outrageously that even an uncensored LLM couldn’t parrot their words.”
