1970's! The little blighters are even older than most people think.
Which is why I find it extra hilarious / extra infuriating that we've gone through all of these contortions and huge wastes of computing power and electricity to ultimately just make a computer worse at math.
Math is the one thing that computers are inherently good at. It's what they're for. Trying to use LLM's to perform it halfassedly is a completely braindead endeavor.
But who is going around asking these bots to specifically do math? Like in normal usage, Ive never once done that because I could just use a calculator or spreadsheet software if I need to get fancy lol
