@agoldst@mastodon.social Thanks. I also like the immediately previous quote: "...we know (quite spectacularly, from the world of self-driving cars), that it is very very difficult to keep paying attention when you’re monitoring a system that is meant to be A-OK most of the time, but needs you to be constantly aware because it sometimes screws up in a way that requires immediate action." #LLMs #genAI
