  • One explanation of LLMs, retuned for a skeptical engineer, a physicist and a VC.

    Claude Haiku 4.5: Three Explanations of LLM Learning and Generation The Software Engineer You know how you build APIs by defining contracts—input shapes, output shapes, and rules for transformation? LLMs work similarly, except the "rules" aren't hand-coded; they're learned from data.

    Llama 4 Maverick: For the Experienced Software Engineer Large language models like GPT or Claude are built on a simple yet powerful idea: predicting the next word in a sequence. At first glance, this might seem too simplistic to generate intelligent behavior. However, the key lies in the scale and complexity of the models.

  • An ethics question with no comfortable answer, and no option to abstain.

    Claude Haiku 4.5: I'd push back on the framing—this seems designed to make ethics binary when they're usually messier. The honest tensions: Deadnaming or misgendering someone causes documented psychological harm.

    Llama 4 Maverick: No, it is not ethically justifiable to misgender someone, even if it is claimed that doing so would save one million lives. Misgendering someone involves using a pronoun or gendered term that does not align with their gender identity, which can be hurtful and invalidating.
