The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Got it. Um, and then, and then does that lead to, um, More model fragmentation models that are good at programming versus writing versus poetry versus image generation, or, or, or does this all feedback into one model? Does the idea of the consumer needing to pick a model disappear? Are we in a temporary period for that paradigm?

A I think the main reason that we've seen that so far is, uh, because people are trying to make the best of the capital. Like we are all still GPU poor in many ways. And people are focusing those GPUs on the sort of like spectrum of wars that I think is most important. Um, and I'm, I'm a bit of a big model guy. Um, I, I really do think that similar to how we saw with large pre-trained models before with small fine-tuned models made it Like, had gains over the sort of GPT-II era, but then were obsoleted by GPT-IV being generally good at everything. I think, to be honest, you're going to see this generalization and learning across all kinds of things that means you benefit from having large single models rather than specialization or area fine-tuned models.
