Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Learning from past mistakes isn't an example of free will, though.

Doing so, or not doing so, either one is a choice out of free will. πŸ˜‰ or is also the outside world that enforces that?

If it's free will, why would somebody not do it if it would make their life better? All of the reasons that I can think of are either in-born traits (e.g. anxiety, ego, getting more pleasure out of drugs than other people), or external influences.

Anyway, LLMs can learn from past mistakes, too.

Because they don't want to get better :(

Well, why would somebody not want to get better? Would somebody decide that of their own free will for no reason at all?

In my case it was a combination of fear, and misery being comfortable. What's your reasoning?
