Here's hoping LLMs stick to the naming trend used for telescopes like the ELT:<p>• Large Telescopes → Large Language Models (LLM): Solid start, foundational capabilities.<p>• Large Telescope (VLT) → Very Large Language Models (VLLM): Major upgrade in size and skills.<p>• Giant Telescopes → Giant Language Models (GLM): Multimodal, smarter and more specialized.<p>• Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) → Extremely Large Language Models (ELLM): Expert-level, cross-domain.<p>• Overwhelmingly Large Telescope (OWL) → Overwhelmingly Large Language Model (OWLLM): Theoretical AGI, huge power, ethical dilemmas.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld made the famous statement:<p>"There are known knowns. There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know."
when it comes to anything to do with the universe,what could very generously be called the "knowns" ,is still such an improbably tiny part of what we suspect might be out there as to disappear without effect
the only realy interesting fact, is that we are not detered by the missmatch at all
rock on telescope dudes
<i>> ... will house a mirror the size of four tennis courts...</i><p>What's with those "football stadium", "tennis court", etc measurement units?<p>Is it assumed that everyone knows how much that is? Are they more understandable than giving a number (area) or two (length x width) in SI - or even Imperial - units?<p>Instead you have to go search for what the size in that particular sport is, so you can get any idea of what they're talking about!
