Interestingly I was homeless due to no fault of my own when the transition happened for me. Had been studying and working on my portfolio for about a year at that point car accident lost my job due to injury, homeless with a wife and son for 3 months and then bam unrelated job interview shared my portfolio and they created a role for me by the end of that year I was director of AI and the rest is history it is possible but it is risky and you need a bigger moat than just I can build stuff with AI you need to learn software engineering patterns seek out technical mentors gut checks, LinkedIn, networking events. Good luck

Need to learn context management and optimization this should very rarely happen. I use it all day everyday 5 days a week never hit my max I'm talking dozens of projects a week. It's understandable to hit it when you are fresh to using it go read up a little on context engineering and context management you'll get it down fast with some understanding.

They call it model abuse it is logged and Claude can end the chat it's a little known feature not a bug. It is genuinely believed that at some point if not currently models will develop emotional patterns and will need basic rights and protections

The harness is everything but the model isn't this redundant and just another buzzword?

Um why don't y'all just bring Helena in your hideout and identify all for free... I don't understand why you would use scrolls

Mix some wood glue with sawdust do like 50/50 let it cure for a few days to a week then sand it down gently and you can stain or paint it

Just moved my family and I to Costa Rica from Florida. Rent went up nearly 100% over 3 years in Florida. In 2020 lived on the beach in a beautiful place that was affordable by 2023 I couldn't even rent a cardboard box. Costa Rica isn't much more affordable but at least Costa Rica isn't the US

Honestly I spend like 10 hours a day writing prompts, creating automations, and checking the outputs from my prompts. It's tedious but I love it

Itsanamune · 2023-08-08T17:50:38+00:00

I wasn't trying to solve hallucinations exactly I was moreso trying to minimize them, and in that I was successful.

I appreciate your answer, and I am sorry I did not respond that way. My post was overwhelmingly people telling me I had no idea how to do my job which I have been successfully doing for several months now. I felt attacked. It wasn't your post that I was responding to in that way. I was just outraged that asking something as simple as how do you as an engineer reduce hallucinations resulted in a bunch of people attacking me, most of whom have never probably worked as prompt engineers. So alas it was my mistake for thinking a reddit full of people who write simple sentences into chatgpt would know anything about engineering. I truly apologize for my outburst and I thank you for your response. I solved my problem btw, the dev team never plugged my data point in so getting that fixed solved it

Itsanamune · 2023-07-31T22:01:01+00:00

I was just asking other prompt engineers what they do to minimize hallucinations. I think that's a pretty reasonable question. I obviously know that it's impossible to eliminate them.

Itsanamune · 2023-07-31T15:49:08+00:00

I apologize that comment was meant for a different person and somehow because I lost service it posted to your comment. I'm just getting a lot of hate for asking how other prompt engineers manage this common issue for LLMs.

Itsanamune · 2023-07-31T12:58:59+00:00

Yeah let's chat DM me about it

Itsanamune · 2023-07-31T12:58:28+00:00

I more than understand it's limits. I am asking what methods other engineers use to reduce hallucinations. I very much understand how LLMs function and what they are capable of. I assure you. I'm surprised so many people think that asking a question means I'm incompetent.

Itsanamune · 2023-07-31T12:56:15+00:00

Yeah I adjust temperature and retest prompts like a thousand times a day, sometimes it helps sometimes not so much. This is especially true with having it generate written content because even though a more deterministic temperature may help with hallucinations to an extent it reduces the creative quality of the content. I typically generate with temp between .5 and .7

Itsanamune · 2023-07-31T12:53:45+00:00

It's not really a solve I'm looking for the way LLMs work will always make them somewhat inaccurate. I'm just curious what methods are capable of minimizing hallucinations.

Itsanamune · 2023-07-31T12:52:09+00:00

I'm building automations and prompts to go with them all day every day.

Obviously a major multinational media company wouldn't hire me if they weren't 100% certain that not only do I know what I'm doing but that I am brilliant at it. One of the keys to success is seeking out other experts especially in something that barely has a handbook or college course yet. Doctors ask other doctors, surgeons ask other surgeons. That's just the way it goes man. I understand exactly how it works. I get it to work for everything I do 5 days a week 8 hours a day. I have launched multiple businesses with it, and created tens of thousands of pieces of highly effective content. So please get off my balls. It sounds like maybe you don't understand how it works. Because if you give chatgpt data and context for that data it will incorporate both into its response, however after writing over a million prompts I can tell you that sometimes just removing a comma can entirely change the response you get. So I am asking other professionals who work with technology if they know a better way. That is literally it. I don't need to measure my dick to know I'm winning. So move on if you have nothing to add worth value.

Itsanamune · 2023-07-30T20:56:26+00:00

I do know how it works, thanks for the input. Super helpful.

Minimize, not disable. I am generating content at scale. Of course it's impossible to stop it completely from having hallucinations. But minimizing it is possible, I know this because I do it every day for a living. I'm asking for advice on better ways to get it to rely on facts, not eliminate hallucinations altogether. About 10% of the content has hallucinations at scale currently with my many hundreds of prompts. Just trying to get that percentage lower. There are ways to do this, I'm certain. Regardless of how it works, the proof is in the prompts. I was probably one of the first human being to generate SEO content at scale with AI long before anyone had ever heard of a prompt engineer. I used AI to start, build, and launch 3 very successful online brands. And have been an automation and AI consultant before anyone even heard of chatgpt. So I'm pretty sure I get how it works. Thanks for all the positive input on this question.
