Fine-Tuning LLMs is a Huge Waste of Time
People think they can use Fine-Tune for Knowledge Injection. People are Wrong

Your LLM Doesn't Write Correct Code. It Writes Plausible Code.
One of the simplest tests you can run on a database:

The /llms.txt file – llms-txt
A proposal to standardise on using an /llms.txt file to provide information to help LLMs use a website at inference time.

LLMs and performative productivity
It's worth asking whether LLMs are actually making us more productive at all—and if so, what we might be sacrificing in return.
