<p>>  I want any LLM I use to choose the very best, most precise words at every single decision point.<p>Then bad news: LLMs already use randomness in a fundamental way. Each time they go to generate a token, they first generate a probability distribution of possible tokens. Then they pick one randomly according to this distribution. The technique described can be thought of as making the random number generator pseudo random. The output it generates is one of the possible outputs it would have generated before, just now it's deterministic and will generate the same thing every time.</p>

<p>Twitter has right wing and center/apolitical people on it, bluesky just has left wing people. They "cater" to them by not clamping down on those people harrassing anyone who joins who doesn't agree with their politics. A smart move, because if they did then the leftists would leave too and they'd have nobody. But the result is they can't even get the centrist/apolitical people to move.</p>

<p>There isn't such a problem, it is at best an incidental use case that has been blown out of proportion. Such glasses would only be useful for illicit purposes in instances where a person is permitted to look at something, but not to photograph it. In such a case, they can be politely requested to remove the glasses, just the same as you would ask someone pointing a smartphone at you to put it down, even if they were just scrolling instagram. It's a non problem that spiraled into a moral panic.</p>

<p>This is a facile and pointless discussion. The hard work in building source code is paying millions of dollars to software engineers to write it. "Open source" allows others to benefit from this expenditure. The hard work in building an ai model is spending millions of dollars on training. "Open source" models allow others to benefit from this expenditure. Regardless of whether you had access to the complete training data and architecture of a model, you would never retrain from scratch in order to make a modification to the model. You would fine-tune in whatever behaviour you wanted. Just like open source software is when you are allowed to modify it, open source models are when you are allowed to fine tune like this.</p>

<p>Fighter jets don't need 100%. In a war, we accept a much higher rate of casualties than we do in day to day driving. I would also imagine that while planes are harder for a person to pilot, they are easier for a computer. Most of what makes them hard is mechanical, not dealing with unexpected situations.</p>

<p>>  I don't know if that is an Arch distribution specific feature.<p>That's unlikely for two reasons, first because minecraft is closed source, and second because arch packages usually follow upstream very closely.</p>
