First, by current Physics, thermal noise is deterministic. And second, it makes a difference for the mechanism of the proof. Hence your argument is nonsense.
And as a side-note, nobody actually knows whether putting in true randomness (by currently known Physics reserved for quantum effects) would make a difference or not. My proof would certainly not work for that scenario though.

Nope. I guess you lack experience with proof theory or are not smart enoug to see what the claim actually is.

No. It is a proof. It leaves open what the meachanism is and for sure there is none in currently known Physics. The one doing "mysticism" here is you by ascribing properties to known mechanisms which they do not have.

That is called "moving the goalposts" and it is essentially dishonesty.

When the British were regularly poaching our waters, we pushed them back incrementally in a series of three "Cod Wars". We didn't just sit there and allow it to happen.

The guy who, by popular consensus, leads the project.

A project which could be forked (and has, a thousand times over), could go elsewhere, could be renamed, could have any number of spinoffs, is the choice of plenty of famous developers who actively work with the intention to get into Linus' tree, including all the big distros.

He's literally the democratic leader and founder of the project. If he was that wrong, people would have gone elsewhere and there's be Linux spinoffs everywhere. Instead, every distro bases their trees on the main Linus kernel tree, include those in use by IBM, Microsoft, et al.

Sorry, but if you don't understand that someone has to put down rules, enforce those rules and rule on those rules and their interpretation... and that the guy who most often that's escalated to for the most definitive answer was basically PUT on that pedestal by countless thousands of developers.... then I don't think you understand that you don't need to be nice, "popular" (in the common sense), or involved in every patch to do that function. You just need to be good at that job, which means technically and academically (in terms of computer science).

You just need to be the person who people seek out to answer those questions, and heed when they give an answer.

Linux is a meritocracy. Those who can't follow the rules, do what's required, update, adapt (e.g. convert their drivers to a new API, etc.), or have the skill and experience to point out where things will go wrong and fix them... they don't last long.

I have had at least three suppliers who I have called up and asked them how to / to turn off the AI features they've introduced.

No, I don't not want your AI "summarising" long helpdesk tickets chains so that people don't bother to read them before telling users what the fix is or how long it'll take.

It will, quite assuredly, affect my future renewals and purchasing of such products if I can't turn it off, and it's something I'll be looking for. We're looking at new HR packages. I hit upon one that said it was an entirely AI-powered HR and payroll package. I cannot, for the life of me, imagine a situation more likely to go drastically wrong than AI being used in HR or payroll.

What kind of guardrails should they even have? Chatgpt literally has no fucking clue what it's saying. It doesn't even know what suicide is. And if we're going to try to anticipate every single mental health episode that can possibly occur, then does that mean Avatar must come with a trigger warning?

Though, it turns out that the trigger warning itself can in fact create the problem to begin with.

And this is actually an interesting thing that most people who want things like trigger warnings don't actually realize -- trigger warnings are just more likely to make somebody feel triggered even if they've never even been traumatized at all.

You're literally asking chatgpt to understand the difference between a person talking about suicide like they actually want to do it, and talking about it in an academic sense, like try to do research on it. It has no fucking idea what the difference is.

This is very much false. A ouija board is "talking" to the person in a far more realistic sense than chatgpt does. Chatgpt is just spitting out words based on static correlation alone with zero in the way of "understanding" what it's actually saying. Ouija boards operate by the ideomotor effect, which is basically where your body makes very subtle movements when you merely think about making those movements but stop short of actually doing so. In other words, there's actual human intelligence behind any "messages" it gives, even if all participant(s) really believe they weren't moving it. Here's a more detailed explanation:

^^^^^^^ This! A thousand times, this!

Naa, you are just as bereft of insight and an the same idiot as always. Proof: I never, ever claimed LLMs cannot do anything. Prove your claim and find a statement by me that says different.

There is actually a relatively simple proof for that: LLMs are fully deterministic. Yes, many do include "randomization", but that is by PRNG and does only add the appearance of non-determinism. Hence there is no mechanism for consciousness. Because consciousness can influence physical reality (we talk about it) even though it is completely unclear as to how that happens. But a deterministic computation always behaves the same, there is no outside influence. Hence it cannot have consciousness.

I do realize that understanding this proof probably requires some ability to think idependently. Most people do not have that.

Nope, there is not. There are fake claims to that effect, but they are only claims. They have no scientifically sound basis and they are generally easily identifiable as misinterpretation of the data.

People that make "silly memopry use errors" are incompetent. They remain incompetent when using other languages. Of how do you think all those PHP or JavaScript security problems come into being?
