There is an interesting discussion to be had about LLMs. How is it that what’s essentially a word predictor describes so much of human experience, mimics knowledge so well, and even gives the impression that it can learn? There are many debates over whether what we’re witnessing can be described as intelligence.
Funny enough, many of these discussions have taken place before. I am thinking of John Searle’s rebuttal of the Turing test called the Chinese Room.
Les pensées s’enfuient.

Understanding WordPress Filters & Hooks for Drupal Developers As a Drupal developer, you’re likely familiar with Drupal’s hook system, which allows modules to interact with and alter the core functionality of Drupal without modifying the core files directly.

Well, it was more like 4.5 days, but you get the idea. I had minimal expectations and an open mind coming into this. I expected it to be challenging, especially not having my phone.
Some of the things I learned that week:
I remember celebrating my 18’s birthday in Pretoria, South Africa. I moved there a few months earlier, and I had a pretty small social circle. I was not planning to do anything really, then a family friend called, and we went out that night, and I still remember that day with a lot of fondness. The next day, my friend called me and asked me: “so, how does it feel?” I replied, what?
