Looks like Twitter changed its recommendation function to indiscriminately boost videos ... Are others experiencing the same endless scroll of click-bait auto-playing popular and unpersonalized videos

The data + LLM space is going to get interesting soon Pressures: * Publishers want to get paid for the use of their data * EU / regulators * At some point, some big publisher will go after the open source datasets -- Common Crawl / Pile / Pushshyft / ...

All the things Google announced in I/O: - BARD improvements - PALM in BARD - PALM2 / ULM - MUM in Search - Gemini Branding advice -- simplify. Even if it's half a dozen codenames under the hood, brand them externally the exact same way. BARD1, BARD2, BARD3, BARD4, BARD5

Open web crawl always relied on a quid-quo-pro bt. aggregators and publishers ("you take my data; you send me clicks") With LLMs, the value exchange has tipped and pubs like Reddit go after cash-rich aggregators for their "fair share". May we live in interesting times ...

More thinking re: the OpenAI ChatGPT GPT-4 plugin launch ... The browsing plugin (WebGPT) uses Bing search. Bing just increased prices on that API 30x (from $7 for 1k requests to $200 for 1k requests) for AI applications OpenAI could not have pulled this off w/o MSFT ...

Curious how to bake personalization into LLMs: 1/ Train a personal language model per user, e.g from flan-t5-xxl, or OpenChatKit's model and domain-specific pre-training on a user's own data (e.g Google Docs)? 2/ Shim of API calls to OpenAI with output massaging ... wdyt?

How many times have you heard "trustworthy" and "search" used together? Too many times until Neeva gets what discerning researchers want. I was using #chatgpt4 yesterday. I wanted footnotes 2 support chat's "mansplaining" - random facts asserted w/ confidence

There's a HUGE gap between [LLMs for chatbots] and [LLMs in search] - - 's doing the hard work of integrating language models into search - in *reliable*, responsible, and delightful ways! Check out the series of updates they released this week! 🚀

First, at @Neeva we're passionate about generative search engines combining the best of search & AI. But it's clear generative AI systems have no notion of sources or authority. Their content is based on their reading of source material, which is often a copy of the entire Web.

Great BSers BS very well ... With humans, I claim there is an empirical correlation between groundedness/factuality and fluency/ability to reason ... Ques for the LLM cognoscenti -- is this also true for LLMs? If yes, what are the implications for LLMs in search ...
