They don’t have persistent memory though. Models are static, what you have is a model that will reprocess the whole series of prompts + some data fetched from a data store. A harness is just a while loop prompting an LLM and executing tool calls, but the model is purely static
- vidarh 25d agoThe model does not. The system it runs in can. My agents have persistent memory. It is not at all clear whether or the distinction that the long-term memory is external from the model matters.
- chrisjj 25d ago> My agents have persistent memory. So your disc drive likewise experiences emotions?
- vidarh 24d agoDoes your disc drive have the complexity of an LLM that shows behaviour consistent with having emotions? I'd consider that a prerequisite, but not sufficient, for that question to make sense.
- chrisjj 24d ago> Does your disc drive have the complexity of an LLM that shows behaviour consistent with having emotions? An LLM does not show behaviour consistent with having emotions. It's regurgitation of humans' written accounts of emotions is not "having emotions".
- vidarh 24d agoYour second sentence does not support the claim in your first sentence; it's merely a second unsupported claim. It is also entirely irrelevant to the argument. The threshold for behaviour consistent with having emotions (note: not behaviour sufficient to prove emotions) was one I purposefully set extremely low, because your comparison to a disk drive is so ludicrous, and yet your disc drive will still not clear it. Do you have an actual argument?
- chrisjj 24d agoMy disc drive, like your LLM, has persistent memory, does not have emotions. If your LLM "shows behaviour consistent with having emotions" beyond my disc drive delivering a PDF of poetry, let us please see the evidence.
