It is a stateless text / pixel auto-complete it has no references of self, stop spreading this bs.

is a kv cache not a kind of state? what does statefulness have to do with selfhood? how does a system prompt work at all if these things have no reference to themselves?

It has trained on vast amounts of content that contains the concept of self, of course the idea of self is emergent.

And autoregressive LLMs are not stateless.

  • of course the idea of self is emergent

    You sound really sure of yourself, thousands of ML researchers would disagree with you that self awareness is emergent or at all apparent in large language models. You're literally psychotic if you think this is the case and you need to go touch grass.

Imagine people would just click words on iOS auto complete mistaking this for intelligence:

"I think the problem is that when you don't have to be perfect for me that's why I'm asking you to do it but I would love to see you guys too busy to get the kids to the park and the trekkers the same time as the terrorists."

How do you like this theory?
