You might be right, but that's terrible

Like this, for sure not. And Sam has not, even with that article, done anything to warrant violence.

The real issue is expecting an LLM to be deterministic when it's not.

Decision makers do pay attention to US internal affairs as it affects the rest of the world directly.

It doesn't "pick" anything. It produces the most likely number after this question based on the data it has been trained with! Reasoning models might pick in a sense that they will come up the the rules (like the grand parent post shows), but still it will produce the "most likely" number after the reasoning.

They can't be random, that's not how a stochastic model produces tokens. Unless the models in question are using a tool call for it, the result will very likely carry bias

You just went and created the worst example. The model knows how to create an rng, that's not it weakness. In fact, if you give it a random mcp it won't do that.

Well, yeah! It's a probalistic model, and extremely biased - it has to be, so that it can predict the correct token.

There's no "just" in RL. Fine tuning is very important and could make a lot of difference.

Same here. My take is that the codebase is too large and complex for it to find the right patterns.

It does work sometimes. The smaller the task, the better.

Same argument(s) can be applied to age verification.

Why not all of the above? Reducing costs and improving quality.

New comment by HeavyStorm in "Challenging the Single-Responsibility Principle"

HeavyStorm — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 02:39:44 +0000

> no matter how small a component already is, the single-responsibility principle can still be applied: every line of code can be assigned its own responsibility

The definition of SRP is to have each class (or module) to have a single reason to change. I don't see how that has anything to do with having each line be assigned a responsibility. If the line changes for the same reasons as it surrounding lines, then, they are part of the same component (to use the author's wording). My guess is that the principle is being taken literally from its name/acronym.

Words on a piece of paper mean absolutely nothing. What matters the most is the real intent of the leaders of the company (something that changes over time and that changes over time, that is, what matters to then and who they are). Sam Altman clearly isn't a man of deep principles regarding humanity and ethics. He seems to regard his legacy, OAI impact and money above everything else. Some of the rest of the leadership do seem to think differently, but I also believe they no longer have the social and political capital to stop Sam.
