Sorry, I didn't mean to twist your panties. I was merely pointing out (pedantically, I admit) that the rules of logic are not identical to the rules of statistics. LLMs (and arguably all current generations of AI models) are inherently statistical systems. This can be pretty easily demonstrated by the fact that all current LLMs can be coaxed into saying things that are illogical. As you point out you can "approximate" logic and arrive at logical conclusions with these systems, but you are not doing so using a logic engine. You are doing so using a stochastic system.

At the philosophical level, logic exists outside of our neurons. Its rules are (as far as we accept anything in reality) independent of human existence. So just because our neurons are also subject to the imperfections of stochastic systems does not mean that ALL stochastic systems are logical.

Point of order. LLMs are not applying logic to a data set. They are applying statistical probability models to a data set. Not quite the same thing.

I didn't say they don't need calibration.

I said they don't need calibration all the time.

Failure to connect to the cloud should not result in immediate device failure. Manual calibration steps should be possible. Or at least a message "cloud service unavailable, device will stop working in 48h" or similar.

I don't understand why people are willing to bootlick the company in this case. Cloud connected everything is cancer.

I mean, the data is easily googleable.

Me: Prison is not the answer to everything.
You: It is because (insert specific scenario).

Let me introduce you to the word "everything" and what it means.

This whole article is about how to STOP people from driving while drunk. I'm not hand wringing, I just don't think that prison is the only solution here.

Because prison is not the answer to everything for fuck's sake.

Sure, in this case we can say "fuck you" to drunk drivers and the don't deserve sympathy, but this everything must be cloud connected trend is going to fuck us all eventually.

The problem is that the above sentence requires a person to be able to hold two thoughts in their head at the same time, which appears to be above almost everyone commenting in this thread.

Drinking and driving is not cool.

Making a device that could and should operate locally rely on a cloud service is also not cool. Breathalyzers have been around for decades, and do not need calibration all the time.

That's some optimism you have, asking people to think before posting.

That's a cheap low IQ tactic. I don't need to have a fully formed alternative politico-economic system, ready to deploy tomorrow, in order to critique this one aspect of the existing system.

Alternatively (and I understand that this is unintelligible to Americans), I have a social conscience, and socioeconomic structures that exacerbate the already destructive and divisive civilisational landscape that we are currently suffering with bother me. I want my fellow humans to live in a world characterised by justice, fairness, compassion, and kindness.

For whatever it's worth, I have an MBA and I own two successful businesses. But if it makes you feel better telling yourself that I'm just a barefoot hippy railing against the establishment, go right ahead.

No, it's not. Some shit in society is so unredeemably depraved that excising the cancer is the only meaningful solution.

It's fundamentalist capitalist bullshit that the fuckery in Wall St is somehow a necessary component for our way of life. Fuck that, and fuck you.

This is the internet.
