Tangent comment, it's so sad you had to create a throwaway here just to express this opinion.

People shouldn't have to be afraid to post what they think of tech topics here, as long as it is not an illegal expression of speech. i.e. one shouldn't have to use a throwaway to ask sensible and valid questions.

Yeah sorry guilty as charged -- it's hard because I've met these people IRL and yes I don't want to damage those relationships.

They're super nice, smart and capable folks. But, also as a practitioner in this space the gulf I see between stated capabilities and actual output is super big and I just don't get it.

I'm also worried I'm missing something obvious, like it's me that's the problem and that's embarrassing.

So at least I'll share that anonymously. :/

note that unless you've de-anonymized your text - your own idosyncracies might be enough with other clues you've left to figure out who you are IRL

Came here to say exactly this. The way anon writes could be a hint if there are a couple of emails laying around from him/her.

If people are really that excited about my identity go for it. I was just trying to be respectful and diminish my criticisms by making them pseudo anonymous.

You didn’t do anything wrong. I was just worried FOR YOU. Sorry if I came across like I was attacking you or blaming you.

No their point is that you should scramble your voice through an LLM for anonymity.

Amusingly, an LLM could probably figure this out in seconds.

If you mean a custom one made for that ... maybe and with a high range of uncertainty.

If you mean any of the big commercial LLMs out there, not even close.

I have to create a throwaway to make this comment: I honestly believe if Fei Fei was a man, she would be getting less scrutiny from the commenters here.
