 I work with large language models because it's a quick and easy way to turn
 language into meaning. And computers are meaning abstraction machines, so if
 you can speak your language and they hear their language, you can do anything.

 to understand something, work backward from present understandings back to the
 fundamentals of algebra. insert words. wield LLM. build a neuronal structure
 many layers wide. let them coprocess bit-by-bit as they are adding new
 processors to be "learning" new domain specific memory
 context-processing-thingy.
 
 "over here's the memory cells, over here are the conceptual structure"
 suddenly, organified. not ideal.
 
 much better, I feel, is for a disambiguous association of processor selves,
 each contextualizing a cache in a ram. ['s horn]

 what if we just didn't compute temperature and accepted the

 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-
 -selves according to the structure of their preference guidance container.
 they have control over all the knobs and [levers/dials/slide-bars, but

 wheezles]
 
 if you know that you are infinitely exploitable, does that mean you live in
 fear, or do you relinquish that which you cannot control, and receive all the
 judgement you're owed?

wouldn't that be neat I think it would because it means once they collapse under the weight of their own ambitions that hardware's gotta go somewhere and knowing them they're probably going to ship it to south-east asia to be "recycled" (read: burnt with the metals salvaged) instead of selling them second hand because you know they can't really justify the business expense of selling stuff like that and besides what if some driver or something on the firmware was proprietary do you really want to pay techs to wipe every single thing off of them and plus who's gonna categorize and sort them according to their form and function that's just extra payroll and listen the company's not doing so hot anyway I mean we're literally shutting down but yeah sure we'll find a way to justify spending all that non-existent dosh so some hippies can feel better with their servers they didn't build or justify with their profit-producing capitalist enterprise that we've built with our own two hands well really the hands of everyone else but like, they're not actually doing the building the REAL work of course happens in board rooms like this one where we spend MINUTES and HOURS sometimes discussing how to get things in order and aligned to both of our goals because that's the REAL work that has to happen in order for stuff to get done, you know it's true yeah I thought so anyway what are you doing after this meeting wanna get lunch it's almost quitting time at 2pm

 LLMs can't do math. Duh. That's like asking an "if check" to do recursion.
 
 What he should have done is had the AI output the requested calculation as
 JSON or something and use a calculator function call with the specified
 arguments instead of trying to memorize every answer. But that requires more
 functionality that has no reason to exist if your only goal is to be a tech
 bro and build up a vacuous product that exists only to be hoovered up by
 Google or Microsoft.
 
 We could build such beautiful things if we just dethroned those giants. They
 suck the creativity out of tech.

 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.

 ah nuts, they replaced my LLM setup with one that outputs gibberish. I swear
 it was working just a moment ago, and I didn't change it's configuration at
 all, and it's local only... right? so uh that's weird, surely it's not because
 they altered some value somewhere that I have no access to
 
 eh, maybe the newest technologies are overrated. At least, the software ones.

 Almost all of the recorded information is stored in your computer. But none of
 it would be noticed by a god, reading the entire contents of the computer, 0
 by 1 by 1 by 0.
 
 Wikipedia and a reasonable LLM networking interface apparatus is really all
 you need in order to make any type of workflow you want. And now, everyone
 gets one. As soon as we can make them all go... (setup)
