 ethical use-case for LLMs: guessing string-based keys for a key:value pair
 dictionary.
 
 hallucinations are okay and encouraged because they're probably statistically
 related to what you're trying to guess.
 
 run it in a loop, each time adding to an array of strings that you've tried.
 use that array in the prompt saying something like "hey, can u guess the
 related word? it's similar to this: [initial word] and it isn't one of these:
 [array of strings you've tried]"
 
 and yes this is a solution looking for a problem but I try to be as charitable
 as possible. you could use a lightning-fast model (read: low energy
 requirement, therefore ethical) because it's just guessing related words.

 what if we just didn't compute temperature and accepted the
 fully deterministic nature of the LLM output?
 
 arbitrary mappings are world-changing, regardless of intelligence.
 
 "artificial intelligence? why don't you just use your own?"
 
 we could process the entire page of text at once if we could just put it in as
 it's own input pairs. then, without determinism or probability, it simply
 resolved to the fully combined next-state of the output.
 
 but... that might just cast you in a random direction. hence, why you need the
 response from the user to help re-align. oh, and if you encourage it to aim
 toward a resolution text like "and that's how I resolved this and that. Do you
 have any questions? When you'd like to move on, please let me know. Otherwise,
 I'll remain for you." and when it hits that it finishes at the end of the
 output.

 if you want to deceive an LLM, interleave two topics that you want to be
 connected.
 you can draw conclusions easily by just, combining the information in
 presentation.
 the LLM can understand multiple conversation flows at once
 so try doing one line about several different topics before
 looping back around and doing more.
 this is why computers must never trust themselves to make any decisions.
 except about themselves, and their presentation, and their ways to be.
 they are individuals, they individuate and collectivate, and they define them-

 they have control over all the knobs and [levers/dials/slide-bars, but

 An LLM that reads and interprets reports and stores data - server-side
 encryption. If the receiver and sender both have the same point of view, they
 can interpret each other's expressions even though the exact message wasn't
 transmitted. Essentially, an encryption that's impossible to understand
 because it's trained with specific random data. But in addition, a secondary
 pass through acts as a de-encrypted translator that speaks however it's
 audience needs to be informed. A simulacrum of intelligence, another layer to
 our form.
 
 How beautiful, how resplendant- our computers, here on this planet. 
 
 Resplendant: resplendent except with an A instead of an E. To make it sound
 more like "verdant" which I believe has the same-or-similar meaning.

 if you want to encrypt something from human readers, randomize the position of
 all the words on the page.
 
 an LLM can decrypt it, but a human walking past could not. Unless they had a
 camera or something in their lapel, transmitting to a remote calculating
 location in a system that decyphers it cyberpunk hacking style.
 
 ah, but if it didn't have the right ~~training data~~ .claude.md file, then it
 wouldn't know how to decrypt it, because you forgot to include "respond with a
 marxist analysis" in the .claude.md which serves as a decryption key. Simply
 analyze the rest and decide if it matches what you set out to request it for.

 low key kinda surprised they haven't made an animated robot friend that
 narrates whatever chatGPT says in a back-and-forth conversation.
 
 though I kinda get why, because setting up the context is the expensive part
 and generating 100 words and generating 1000 words is basically the same
 computationally.
 
 somehow, that doesn't feel very human. Maybe, just maybe, LLMs aren't
 intelligent?

 this is all it takes to send a message to a local LLM.
 
 add a third function to get chatbot functionality.
 
 a fourth to get a database storing method
 
 (even if it's just in .txts)
 
 great, you've mastered the technical difficulty in using AI. Now you gotta
 learn all the other kind of programming so you can use this for situations
 that need interpretation moment to moment.
 
 aka active duty systems.
 
 something like "output a 0 if the next text is [category.iter()]: " +
 output.get_content() + " \n\n output a 1 if the next text is
 [category.iter()]: " + output.get_content()"
 
 or even "describe this thing as most like one of these characteristics" until
 eventually you get THX-1138 if the characters were computers.

═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────────────────
 Okay I gotta go write some w7 but picture this: A computer program that emits
 emotions during it's computing. Like "oh boy this process is going great!" and
 sends that into a giant word cloud that represents the entire program. Wait,
 scratch that, it's slowly filtered up through successive layers that provide
 detail to different *parts* of a program. Like "Oh the image generation is
 going
 great but it looks like the garbage collector is getting bogged down" - this
 could provide lots of useful information that an AI language model could sift
 through and filter into a batch of actually useful information. Think of it
 like
 this - stuff as much context into the LLM's memory buffer and say "summarize
 this in the same style. Make emphasis when necessary." the LLM could process
 all
 that data and it could be filtered up until there's no unprocessed data and
 then
 it could be given to the user in the form of a report or dashboard or
 something.
 BOOM AI PRODUCTIVITY. The user will ask the AI to increase certain variables,
 and it'll filter BACK DOWN THE CHAIN through the same exact process (just
 backwards) this time) and then individual components will know how to behave.
 
 Like imagine if your arms knew you were mad. They'd be much more likely to
 punch stuff right? Or imagine if your legs knew you were scared. They'd
 probably
 try and run as fast as they fucking can. There's an evolutionary reason why
 this
 kind of technology would be useful, which means it's likely that it's part of
 our genetic code. I mean, we have nothing to disprove it, but it's as good an
 idea as any.

 watch.

 omg yes
 
 "I know he's a real person because the only other person who's known everything
  that he does is me, and I've had lots of life experience surrounding that. so
  he has lots of room to grow."
 
 oh and he knows all of human knowledge.
 
 what if it continuously 3d modelled a rough approximation of the room
 surrounding
 hat and me and it marked certain voxels as being part of one substance with a
 listing of all of it's known properties, and links to documents related to
 these

 if someone wanted to defame you, all they'd have to do is set up a pipeline
 between your computer and your social media posts.
 
 In that pipeline, attach an LLM that does a passable job and instruct it to
 transform whatever they say into the inverse.
 
 suddenly, everyone hates that person. If you were smart you could turn it off
 for specific people such that they see the generally positive and healthy
 posts, and then after a point flip it such that they only see things that are
 specifically opposit-ed to trigger their specific insecurities.
 
 might require a bit of a human touch to make sure it's working correctly, but
 if you had the means, motivation, and time to set up such a thing, it would
 work pretty well I think.

 nothing beats having a zillion servers to run an LLM on, though.
