Comment on I'm looking for an article showing that LLMs don't know how they work internally
theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 1 week agoThere is a distinction between data and an action you perform on data (matrix maths, codec algorithm, etc.). It’s literally completely different.
Incorrect. You might want to take an information theory class before speaking on subjects like this.
LLMs are just tools not sentient or verging on sentient
Correct. No one claimed they are “sentient” (you actually mean “sapient”, not “sentient”, but it’s fine as most people mix those up. And no, LLMs are not sapient either, and sapience has nothing to do with reasoning or logic, you’re just moving the goalpost)

It’s wild, we’re just completely talking past each other at this point! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten to a point where I’m like “it’s blue” and someone’s like “it’s gold” so clearly. And like I know enough to know what I’m talking about and that I’m not wrong (unis are not getting tons of grants to see “if AI can think”, no one but fart sniffing AI bros would fund that (see OP’s requested source is from an AI company about their own model), research funding goes towards making useful things not if ChatGPT is really going through it like the rest of us), but you are very confident in yourself as well. Your mention of information theory leads me to believe you’ve got a degree in the computer science field. The basis of machine learning is not in computer science but in stats (math). So I won’t change my understanding based on your claims since I don’t think you deeply know the basis just the application. The focus on using the “right words” as a gotchya bolsters that vibe. I know you won’t change your thoughts based on my input, so we’re at the age-old internet stalemate! Anyway, just wanted you to know why I decided not to entertain what you’ve been saying - I’m sure I’m in the same boat from your perspective ;)

loses the argument “we’re at the age-old internet stalemate!” LMAO

Indeed I did not, we’re at a stalemate because you and I do not believe what the other is saying! So we can’t move anywhere since it’s two walls. Buuuut Tim Apple got my back for once, just saw this now!: lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/27197259
I’ll leave it at that, as thanks to that white paper I win! Yay internet points!
