This is almost exactly the opposite of how LLMs work.

With the exact state of training data, and the exact prompt history, you’ll get the same output. Problem is that you only get this scenario a single time. And as much as a spelling error, or simply repeating the same prompt twice, will not yield deterministic output.

So no, LLM garbage is not deterministic. Otherwise it would be possible to predict output before the matrix processes the input.

They have no determinism, no concept of context and their “reaction” are pure statistics.

This almost perfectly describes human behavior.

That’s nonsense. Most mammals have a high understanding of context, and humans are very much able to produce deterministic answers to a given problem.

1. No one talked about AGI, and of course video game NPCs do not have that.
2. LLMs are - technically speaking - the shittiest subset of the broad field of AI research. However, since they have zero determinism, they are the absolute opposite of “intelligent”. They are artificial morons, if anything. And I object to the overuse of “AI” because words are important, and most humans are incredibly gullible and when everyone and their news station calls something “AI”, they will assume it is intelligent and will rely on its outputs. This will kill people.

Therefore: No, LLMs are not AI. They are statistical garbage generators with a high word prediction accuracy that is enough to fool humans into falsely believing they have understanding of context.

You misunderstand AI. Limited algorithms are still AI. So yes, video game algorithms are AI, LLMs are not, because they are statistical garbage generators.

You missed the point. Video game NPC “AI” is actual AI, based on deterministic rules, combining contextual(!) inputs to determine reactions.

LLMs are none of that. They have no determinism, no concept of context and their “reaction” are pure statistics.

Here’s me with a straight face: Anyone who claims LLMs are conscious “does not understand AI”.

absolutely, but most colleagues in my line of work are too complacent and/or well-enough paid to even consider starting a worker’s council / representation.

Things come easy to me, but I don’t derive an entitlement to a higher salary from that vs. my colleagues who have to work harder to accomplish less. I do derive an entitlement to negotiate harder vs. my employer though, and sometimes leverage my usefulness to speak up about issues that other colleaguea are afraid to complain about.

I am not even gonna click that link because I knew it was gonna be a suggestion :p

To be honest I used to do the same, but then recently felt safe formatting old disks to give them away. Then discovered no one wanted a 340GB drive for free, and ended up throwing it into anl container, and at the last moment I decided to whack the controller electronics for good measure ;)

What worries me though is my growing collection of old smartphones that can’t be wiped reliably and therefore not recycled. I wouldn’t even know which chip to destroy.

Respectfully, a single pass of randomized data is enough for everyday purposes on magnetic hard drives since 20+ years ago.

Disclaimer: on SDDs, this is only sufficient if the full disk is overwritten, due to dynamic management of memory cells by the controller.

Your opinion != objective truths

I’d be surprised if it could function well enough to even be compromisable.

If you’re stupid enough to install an Epic store, you don’t deserve a Linux distro holding your hand.

That’s what baffles me most about all these corrupt fucks: how many morons still vote for them anyways. It’s not like you need to be a genius to see them for the frauds that they are…

Dunning Kruger…

Okay put like that I get what you meant :)

Of course not. For something personal, two people need to be involved with personality.

Fuck off if you still use gas chamber OS for playing games.
