The same way a light fixture copes with being switched off.

Oh, these binary one layer neural networks are so useful. Glad for your insight on the matter.
By comparing an LLM’s inner mental state to a light fixture, I am saying in an absurd way that I don’t think LLMs are sentient, and nothing more than that. I am not saying an LLM and a light switch are equivalent in functionality, a single-pole switch only has two states.
I don’t really understand your response to my post, my interpretation is that you think LLMs have an inner mental state and think I’m wrong? I may be wrong about this interpretation.

LLMs have an inner/internal state.
Deep neural networks are weird and there is a lot going on in them that makes them very different from the state machines we're used to in binary programs.
