Takes from two months as an aspiring LLM naturalist

I spent my last two months playing around with LLMs. I’m a beginner, bumbling and incorrect, but I want to share some takes anyhow. Take 1. Everything with computers is so so much easier than it was a year ago. This puts much “playing with LLMs” stuff within my very short attention span. This has felt empowering and fun; 10/10 would recommend. Detail: In my past life, when I wanted software packages installed, I mostly asked my CS friends.
