@gisgeek humans don’t have context windows
that’s not how humans work
@thomasfuchs i was under the impression this was common knowledge -.-
@thomasfuchs Picking and remembering a person while not disclosing who they are directly in chat requires having a memory separate from the chat text.
LLMs have no memory beyond the chat history unless you specifically give them a tool capable of saving information.
@thomasfuchs probably one of the best and most succinct videos on the topic with concrete examples anyone can understand. Thank you for sharing
@thomasfuchs I tried it but in my case I always win which is very suspicious
@thomasfuchs If $10,000 is deposited your cash app account or PayPal unexpectedly , what will you use it for to be honest ?
:A car
:B Bills
:c school
:d families
:e vacation
:l donation
:g food stuff
:h business
@thomasfuchs So are we not gonna talk about the model likely pulling from racist, sexist, transphobic language of incels online to predict Serena Williams as a man? Or was that implied?
@thomasfuchs LLM's are less like artificial brains and more like the theorem about "An Infinite Number of Monkeys on an Infinite Number of Typewriters" and I don't mean that as a pejorative.

@oshox it can be useful if you have a way to verify the output (which is possible for formal languages like in programming), but for most stuff it’s just meh at best
@thomasfuchs If we have to spend our time analyzing and parsing AI output, what time does it save us?
@thomasfuchs can we have the video source please? searching isn't possible on tiktok

@ambiguous_yelp oh ty, I saw it cross my Bluesky (I don’t use TikTok)
@thomasfuchs Long shot, but has anyone the link to a job interview with an LLM agent that someone posted a few days ago?
The interviewee responded to the agent's questions with random words/phrases, and the agent conducted the interview as though these were valid.

@InarticulateOtter hmm I remember that but don’t remember where I saw it

@thomasfuchs ah found it on YouTube, perhaps misremembered that I saw it here.
@thomasfuchs In prior versions of ChatGPT and still in self-hosted model harnesses like Ollama, there is a "Retry" button. If you play 20 Questions/Guess Who and then use Retry after it has revealed, it will give different answers, each consistent with the previous conversation.
thank you for this
@thomasfuchs fantastic TL;DR.
we really need to get quality vloggers to cross post on the fediverse.
You get what you feed it...
In some professional applications where you feed it huge amounts of information it is very good at getting you a summary of the exact thing you want without you wading through all the data. IF you are very precise in what you want from it. As a specialist it can make you more efficient IF you know your data.
It is not intelligent, it is not human, it is just what it is, a large language model...
And garbage in is still garbage out (...).
@thomasfuchs
Indeed, I fear that the day an LLM's limited context reaches the size of an average human's, we will be screwed.
