Silly vegoon, only the cute animals I didn't want to eat have feelings. The others are unfeeling slabs of meat that is magically created by wholesome farmers being folksy.

Witches hat/traffic cone for the seppos.
The algorithm assigns weights to nodes in a neural network. These weights are derived by statistical association of tokens in the training data after they have been cleaned.
That is so enormously far from how we think humans learn (you don't teach a kid to understand theory of mind by plopping them in front of the Gutenberg project and saying good luck, and yet they learn to explain theory of mind problems all the same) that it is just comically farcial to assume something similar is happening underneath.
It is very interesting that llms are able to appear to be conversational but claiming they have some sort of mind with an understanding of maths is as ridiculous as suggesting a chess bot understands the Pauli exclusion principle because it never moves two pieces into the same physical space.
I'm a curmudgeonly physics nerd, it's very strange being on the side of a debate going "No now come on, that's way too reductive"
You're arguing against a position I didn't put forward. Also
Seems like a pointless distinction, you were told it so you believe it to be the case? Why can't we say the LLM outputs what it believes is the correct answer? You're both just making some statement based on your prior experiences which may or may not be true
This is what excessive reduction does to a mfer. That is just such a hysterically absurd take.
Yep. You're smarter than everyone who found it insightful.
Well, I hope the deer didn't get too sick. Poppies are in a weird place in Australia. you can just buy the seeds in shops but if you plant them that's crimes.
There are places they grow as weeds, and if you're someone who wanders off the beaten path you can stumble on some suspiciously well tended clusters.
It's a shame because I think they're very beautiful and would love to grow them ornamentally (actually, not "ornamentally") but there's no way I could plausibly plead ignorance if someone noticed what I was growing.
By grabthar's hammer, what a put down!
Yeah this is the exact criticism. They recombine language pieces without really doing language. The end result looks like language, but it lacks any of the important characteristics of language such as meaning and intention.
If I say "Two plus two is four" I am communicating my belief about mathematics.
If an llm emits "two plus two is four" it is outputting a stochastically selected series of tokens linked by probabilities derived from training data. If the statement is true or false then that is accidental.
Hence, stochastic parrot.
Really? I don't think that's rhoeas or orientale. That flower is so iconically p. somniferium. The bread seed, and uh other things, poppy.
In phase one git gud? it's more like dark souls than sekiro. In phase 2 use the spear to fuck it in the thrussy and be brave and parry a lot.

ya, my sister is raising kids atm and she's had to hunt for books that don't associate farming with cuddly-happy—funtimes
