Provide the the system with the same model, the same prompt, and the same sequence of numbers, and you WILL get the same answer, regardless of how complex the question is, or who asks it.
In theory.

In fact you don't. I gave you already an example, two potential outputs have the same probability, does not not matter which one. So the system has to pick.

The only way to be deterministic would be if the random number generator at the moment of choosing the output, would always be the same number.

Perhaps you want to nitpick about that ... no idea.

There are other reasons when the NN behind the LLM and AI is not deterministic. For example when the traversal through the NN is cut in some directions based on time spent or power used.

If you want to nitpick that the fundamental code is deterministic, you have a point. However we are talking about the user experience. Unless the LLM is just a "Search Engine" and the result is backed up by some Wikipedia articles or similar, and the LLM just makes a summary: it will always give a different answer.

Just try it, ask it to write an Haiku containing the Words "Nonglak, Luck, Dance" and as season spring.

Every time you try: you get a different result.

Agile software development is the _solution_ to the problem of clients not knowing what they want and developing a piece of software that isn't military, medical, space, aeronautic, nuclear, mission-critical embedded or some other hardcore stuff.
That is wrong.
The area has nothing to do with it.

Agile actually means what the word implied to mean: being agile to change direction, up to canceling the project if it is clear we are going nowhere. Fail fast, fail early, instead of burning a lot of money and time.

Has absolutely nothing to do about the segment of the software development.

And web development - seems to be an anathema for "real developers" - certainly does not really require any "agile" mind set. Because it is rather simple and there are no challenges that imply that you have to adapt "agile" to.

Well, it is not possible to verify that you are correct.
As this: They are fully orthogonal.
That is simply wrong.
And this: I am an agnostic atheist. 100% agnostic, and 100% atheist. is simply impossible.

As Atheist you are convinced/know there are no gods. As Agnostics, you try to stay on the save side, and consider: there might be gods, but you do not care about them.

It is not possible to be convinced something does not exist and in the same breath say, well there might be something.

If 1% of what you write about yourself is right: you are an Agnostics, and not an Atheist at all.

In that document, he designed the system that would result in mass oppression and murder
I am not aware that he designed such a system.
Perhaps you want to cite a few lines from him?

"One that sought to have people living like ants in dormitories attached to factories." That is Frank Herbert, not Karls Marx.

As a memory researcher, I understand that belief in photographic memory is common and the idea is compelling. But it is simply wrong.
Must be an idiot then.

How can one call himself researcher about something when his stand point can simply be invalidated by counter examples. And those are plenty in history.

I have a friend with an eidetic memory. You ask him about a book and a page, he can recite it - including spelling errors - from the first word to the last word. The only thing in question which we can not challenge or disprove, is: the date when he read the book, or read that particular page.

And people with similar eidetic memory are not particularly rare.

If you have two choices with the same probability, you have to pick one.
And that makes it indeterministic.

You do not have a single random number generator that got seeded ...

You have dozens, and they get triggered from random jobs.

You do not know from where your current LLM gets its next random number from for deciding if it takes 33% A or 33% B path.
