ML promises to be profoundly weird

The author critiques current large language models (LLMs) as fundamentally flawed 'bullshit machines' that confabulate and lie due to their statistical nature, despite impressive capabilities in some areas. They highlight the 'jagged frontier' of ML competence versus idiocy and express concern about societal impacts as these systems become more widespread.
