Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Yes, it does, from the information it was trained on (or - stored), which like you say, requires a lot of hardware power so it can be accessed on demand. It isn't just manifesting the information out of thin air, and it definitely doesn't "remember" in the same way we do (E: even the best photographic memory isn't the same as an indexable one).
It's definitely not indexed, we use RAG architectures to add indexing to data stores that we want the model to have direct access to, the relevant information is injected directly in the context (prompt). This can somewhat be equated to short term memory
The rest of the information is approximated in the weights of the neural network which gives the model general knowledge and intuition..akin to long term memory
or it can be equated to a shitty database and lossy compression (with artifacts in the form of “hallucinations”), but that doesn’t make the tech sound particularly smart, does it?
but half the posts in your history are in this thread and that’s too many already
They 11 posts in total and 2 are in this thread. 2 is not half of 11.
How bad is your maths?
People have such crazy misconceptions about AI. Glad to see someone else knows how it works at least.
oh do fuck off
awww, I just got another bowl of popcorn!
but rofl holy shit at "glad to see someone else knows how they work" given the ..... depth of understanding, shall we say? that was demonstrated in this thread
No you fuck off mate. You’re in here peddling misinformation like your name was ChatGPT.
