Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

“This is the perfect opportunity to describe retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).” We assume the family had already threatened violence if he mentioned bitcoin.

It is also lovely that the quote follows directly after Google's glue in pizza. Just pivot to something else.

But since I don't trust the linked AI fondler's description, what is RAG? Sounds like an LLM stapled to a search engine.

Rag feels to me like the other new llm tricks (like voice commands), the base model cant be improved much so they tack on modules which make it look like the base tech is still improving. While in reality it is just the tacking on of older tech.
