Agreed. Also, complaining about the climate impact of an AI model download while opening your post with an ai generated image is peak hypocrisy. Did not bother to read the rest.

This reminds me of the CEO of a cyber security company that challenged Anonimous https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HBGary. If you work for any kind of security company, do not ever ever ever challenge any kind penetration specialist. Everything is hackable, it is only a matter of cost vs reward, but when you challenge someone that goes out of the window.

It would be nice if it had the option to indicate you which finger you should be using to press the key ideally. Like the mechanigraphy games.

Whatever comes out of any LLM will directly depend on the data you feed it and which answers you reinforce as correct. There is nothing unknown or mystical about it. I honestly think that the main reason big tech claims they “don’t understand how they work” is either to avoid responsibility for what comes out of them or as a marketing strategy to impress the public.

EDIT: By the way, I definitely think LLMs are intelligent and could even be considered “synthetic minds.” That’s not to say they are sentient, but they will definitely be subject to all kinds of psychological phenomena, which is very interesting. However, this is outside the scope of my initial comment.

No this is like saying that whovever writes a piece of software understands how it works. Unless one forgot about it or stumbled upon it out of sheer luck. And neither of those are the case with LLMs.

I guarantee you that whoever designed Google understands how Google works.

| "Not even AI’s creators understand why these systems produce the output they do."

I am so tired of this "NoBody kNows hoW LLMs WoRk". It fucking software. Sophisticated probability tables with self correction. Not magic. Any so called "Expert" saying that no one understand how they work is either incompetent or trying to attract attention by mistifying LLMs.

I agree. This is a very dangerous marketing and legal stragety than can end up costing us very dearly.

For many people "wealthy = evil". And "poor = good". It is easier to demonize someone that is doing better than you than to admit that maybe he is just making better choices.

Something that has helped me a lot when dealing with noise or other distractions is present time meditation. Just sit there and focus on actively hearing and feeling everything, I would just do 5 min sessions but quite often. After practicing this for while I became less distracted and more comfortable wherever I was.
