In this absolutely ridiculous context, shouldn't we continually prompt the model to keep it "alive" lol

Until we run out of water and burn the surface of the earth to a crisp, yeah. Although to be fair, capitalism was going to do that either way.

That doesn't really change anything. Every function invocation is still completely separate. Doesn't matter if it's a single conversation where you always answer, or parallel conversations.

Absolutely not! It changes everything, and explicitly because said so! Since we are making shit up to begin with lol 🤣

We walked away from "reason" the moment we entered a conversation about "murdering" an LLM... LOL

[–] smiletolerantly@awful.systems 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What? I explicitly do not believe you can "murder" an LLM, I'm saying that due to the way the technology actually works, that if someone genuinely believes an LLM is sentient or alive, then sending a message to it mist also mean it "dies" afterwards.

LLMs are obviously neither sentient nor alive (and therefore the concept of murder doesn't even remotely apply).

You know those news articles about how like a third of adults are functionally illiterate?

I feel like I've been seeing more people replying to the shape of a comment, rather than what's actually being said, like right now.
