who would win
running convex optimization on a few hundred million tokens of scraped text
vs
a bare minimum amount of programatic effort to analyze common query phrases and connect them to the relevant databases

even building robust indices of the texts ingested by an LLM would be a better use of computational resources. recreating information from them probabalistically is just such a dumbfuck idea.

i feel like i was innoculated against llm hype because in like 2015 i spent a few hours laughing my ass off at the half-successful attempts to generate MTG cards and the absolutely unsuccessful experiment where they tried to do the same thing with a database of recipes and i was like oh, it works for MTG because nothing in that game refers anything outside of the symbols being manipulated

@tholindeth And when wolfram alpha made mistakes, they were fun, and still usually technically correct!

@diogenes @tholindeth and no one gets sick or dies if the mtg cards are wrong

@tholindeth @gsuberland it turns out computer programs with a deliberately-constructed ontology are Good, Actually

@unlofl @tholindeth Heeee!
Is there an open source equivalent for Wolfram Alpha yet? Seems like the kind of fun shit critters would totally build for the hell of it, but I don't know if anyone has, 'cause it's also probably terribly complicated.
