Both of those things only happen once by the LLM model provider and not every time a prompt is issued.

I think just the possibility of consequences that they can give a damn about. An LLM doesn't have feelings no matter how much human-like text it can simulate. There is literally nothing going on between prompts for any given model.

The models do not get better until a new one is released. And we are already at diminishing returns. So sorry. Also sorry you don't know the difference between a model and a context, harness, router, or cache.

None of what you mentioned changes the model. Because it's a fixed model. The weights are constant. It does not learn. It only knows what gets repeatedly fed to it and those fixed relationships represented by the weights. You can prete

Right. They can do all those things. And none of that will make it smart or able to learn new things. The underlying model is just an llm. But judging from the downvotes, it seems AI folks get upset when someone talks honestly about their p

It was edited. Original talked about the model learning. Glad they managed to clarify. Because the models are quite literally stupid.

The models don't get better, except when a new one is released. Their performance depends solely on the model training before release and how well you curate the context you feed it. That's it. Contrary to popular belief these thi

Or, phrased another way: there's a reason why we consider basic availability in nines and 2 nines is still considered pretty bad. 99% uptime means being down over 7 hours each month.

I am referring to the hype causing it to be adopted now instead of a decade ago, not the specific implementation. The hype causing people to adopt AI of all kinds hastily without proper validation.

No, but it is about the, very expected, shitshow caused by the AI hype. When companies think cramming AI in any random place is a magic bullet for replacing workers, shit breaks. Because AI is dumb af. LLMs are just the shittiest of the way

That's exactly what I said. Rust compiles to binary opcodes. Assembly is not an rtos, and does not require one. ASM isn't a standard "language". It's literally a fancy display of opcodes and registers that the CPU r
