Videos like this feel like a delightful subversion of the old (and largely outdated, I think, due to changing recommendation-optimization trends) UA-cam adage about being able to safely skip through the first third of any video, which inevitably contains nothing but useless preamble and calls to action. Except in this case the preamble is just sweet sweet tension-building as we gradually meander to the point of the video, and ultimately to one of the highest-effort single puns I’ve ever witnessed.
I was thinking that also, but reading this comment and realizing Tom is Tom, it may have been part of the whole "This scene is breaking immersion, because that's not how firearms are worked with!" since his out was recognizing the coffee cup being empty.
Read the SIGBOVIK paper before the video for once! I was thinking it was about that time of year again so I was curious what your submission was to this year's SIGBOVIK was, super excited to watch this one. Honestly despite being in a completely different field (Neuroscience), I adore watching these videos Tom.
Same. I got almost a minute into the video thinking 'I've heard this before', and yep - I'd gone and read the SIGBOVIK paper too. I even remember thinking that he'd have to get a video out on it at some point. Guess I'm one of those Computer Science Idiots...
After all that talk of being right rather than just looking right, I can't believe the slide of code you show at 13:00 has asymmetrical spacing inside the braces: a space between { and x, but none between img and }. I'm crestfallen.
At first I thought this video was going to be critical of people like Lorem Epsum, or critical of LLMs as the machine analog of such people. But in the end you created a tunable dial that lets you choose the philosophy that's right for you.
1:10 - your refillable holds more water than a disposable. And it was probably at like .8 or something when you started, so 1.3 disposables worth ticks it up twice.

You know I see Tom Seven and I really can only think of him as a person who as achieved peak self-actualization. I don't know if I have seen another human live in a way that carries such internal meaning.
Yay! Of course I drew the pictures, but this time the "timelapse" is actually algorithmically generated by BoVeX (which was even MORE work). I wanted it to look cleanly composited against the slide (sometimes it is behind or in front of text, for example). If it fooled you into looking like the Photoshop screencaps, I have won!
"Now that's what I call AI alignment" after suggesting creating a worse paperclip maximizer for better aligned lines is insane. Also, "Hurry-Coward So-So Morphism", omg.

The idea of this video had been alluded to by Knuth in the TeXbook where he is quoting Bernard Shaw: When a proof has been sent me with two or three lines so widely spaced as to make a grey band across the page, I have often rewritten the passage so as to fill up the lines better; but I am sorry to say that my object has generally been so little understood that the compositor has spoilt all the rest of the paragraph instead of mending his former bad work.

Seems valuable for texts that have to fit inside of skinnier boxes. Like newspaper columns, fine print, cards, and most importantly phone screens! You might be on to something here...
I'm five minutes in and I feel like I'm missing some context, but at the same time I feel like you're trusting me to be smart enough to fill in the gaps. Love it!
I think we need to train LLMs on text that constantly points out errors in past paragraphs. The only way it can realistically do that is if we gave it paragraphs of errors immediately followed by paragraphs correcting them.
This video was on my UA-cam homepage for a while, and I didn’t understand what the hell it was. Now I’m sad that I’ve already watched all of the other videos.
Rewriting the same sentence over and over again until it fits within the ideal amount of space. Fantastic. My soul is nourished, my heart sings. (I’m not being sarcastic btw, love your videos.) ((I think I’m gonna try and make an LLM playfun (NES) by giving it a screenshot and asking what NES input it would use, at some amount of frames per second.))

Tom's work represents some strange ideal I hold which isn't quite articulate yet. Thank you for making these videos.
That outro was magnificent. 11/10!
The outro took this video from top-notch to perhaps the best video on the internet
3:47 the darkness calls me, down the fractal paths of those darned rabbit holes...
I'm five minutes in and I feel like I'm missing some context, but at the same time I feel like you're trusting me to be smart enough to fill in the gaps. Love it!
I look forward to your video every year. Thank you, good sir!
I think we need to train LLMs on text that constantly points out errors in past paragraphs.
The only way it can realistically do that is if we gave it paragraphs of errors immediately followed by paragraphs correcting them.
Overboard and obsessive as usual. So gratifying
You really have an unusually designed reward function
this is genuinely so cool, like i want this to be used in an actual real world setting
Like for writing a paper for a prestigious conference like SIGBOVIK?
@@tom7 Yeah! Something like that would be a really neat idea!
This channel is so underrated.
Every time a video drops it’s like the best day ever for me
the amount of creativity is amazing :D
It wouldn't be a Tom7 video without a chess engine. I was waiting for it, and was pleasantly surprised.
Gun is clearly made of plastic. Immersion ruined.
This video was on my UA-cam homepage for a while, and I didn’t understand what the hell it was. Now I’m sad that I’ve already watched all of the other videos.
Surely one wouldn't stay up to 2AM to watch this, right,,,
it's completely justified
I woke up at 7am to watch it, not sure which is more intense
tom.. as always, you delivered a masterpiece.
this might just be the most important thing that has ever happened on the 6th of june
Rewriting the same sentence over and over again until it fits within the ideal amount of space. Fantastic. My soul is nourished, my heart sings.
(I’m not being sarcastic btw, love your videos.)
((I think I’m gonna try and make an LLM playfun (NES) by giving it a screenshot and asking what NES input it would use, at some amount of frames per second.))
