The machines have no driving force to act in the world. That is fundamental for humans. Twice in your comment you suggest things that you think that I believe, please do not do this.

A free will versus determinism argument doesn't really have a place here. Consider instead that humans factually have 'the illusion of agency.' The LLM does not even that have that. It cannot act on it's own, it has n

I consider that to be the illusion of learning. You are not wrong, I think they may actually learn in the future though. But not today.

The big problem is often times they don't as well. That's why we can't rely on them.

LLMs do not learn. You put it out to pasture and create a new one. "Memory" in a session is essentially a context window party trick.

by operatingthetan 3mo ago
I think you're mildly obfuscating the issues at hand by diving too deeply into philosophical questions. It's quite simple, the agency that the LLM appears to have is actually your own. Without a prompt an LLM does nothing. It ha

The claim that we are assigning human-like agency to a machine with none is simple and factual.

Alright, well I guess I thought were were talking about naming apps after stimulant drugs lol.

There were mac apps called caffeine and amphetamine years ago.

I admire your pharma knowledge.

by operatingthetan 3mo ago
So now we're naming apps after obscure Modafinil derivatives?

This story reads like a William Gibson novel. Wild times.

The companies seem to truly believe they will just have a handful of devs at that point manning large pools of AI agents. I doubt it though!

If you listen to gaming Youtube then the gaming industry is already in trouble from hardware costs and availability. I'm not sure if they are making a mountain out of a mole hill or not though.

I mean I can make a good meme with AI but it requires effort to ensure it is indistinguishable from a homegrown meme.
79.
by operatingthetan 4mo ago
nope!

by operatingthetan 4mo ago
It's to the point where if you drop an AI meme or screenshot of text in chat people will mock you. I don't see that getting better?

by operatingthetan 4mo ago
It's sort of cargo-cult behavior to add them to non big corporate websites. Just like adding superfluous chat bots now.

Yep, the only way these things can have "memory" is by shoving previous conversations into the context window.

What then is your LLM "thinking" about between answers? The answer is nothing. Your definition of thinking does not match the one humans normally use. >That how we know another person is thinking too. By their output. We don&

by operatingthetan 4mo ago
Indistinguishable output does not mean thinking occurred. It simply means you have the appearance of thinking. I believe thinking requires agency, which the LLM does not possess. As in, it has zero stakes. It does not receive dopamine a

Interesting take, LLMs then have a sort of 'communication culture.'

These companies are pitching us a magic machine that can answer all our questions and the only catch is they are extremely manipulative and controlling of us. Most people don't seem to care, for now.

You seem to be suggesting I'm saying something that I don't believe I am, this is obviously not working. Hope your day goes well.
