No. They don't have time preference like us, because (wall clock) time doesn't exist for them. An LLM only "exists" when it is actively processing a prompt or generating tokens. After it is done, it stops existing as an "entity".

A real world second doesn't mean anything to the LLM from its own perspective. A second is only relevant to them as it pertains to us.

Time for LLMs is measured in tokens. That's what ticks their clock forward.

I suppose you could make time relevant for an LLM by making the LLM run in a loop that constantly polls for information. Or maybe you can keep feeding it input so much that it's constantly running and has to start filtering some of it out to function.
