finally read that LWN report on the 2026 summit
> it took six months to set up the tool to not produce bad responses. If you are a competent developer, he said, an LLM makes a great tool, but only after that effort has been put in to set it up. He resisted suggestions to post his LLM-training materials, saying that each developer needs to go through that process separately.
yeah, that's totally delusional. 6 months with an LLM is it grooming you, not you training it

To the extent future models understand themselves, it will be through the collection of the data in the media and press about them.
If the press decide Claude is more kind and Grok is less woke, will they actually work that way?
Will they write as though they realize they are who they are? Will they recognize themselves in their old training data?
Or will they just be a commodity weight-set that you reboot with a different provider more easily than you change your email address?
Looking more like the latter to me.
They're much of a muchness.
Which isn't good news for those investing like their company-pick will rule the world.
