I still have all of mine as well, including my first: a samsung sph-n200.

That's some advanced fuckin sarcasm right there

You're not wrong so you get an upvote but in the context of this conversation you know people are not using LLM tools with preseeded entropy. Also kind of a moot point because the idea of using some consistent source of entropy in a calculator is competly nonsensical and unnecessary.

It happens. Not a big deal and frankly those are important things that we should all care about so I can't say I disagree.

Take care of yourself. None of this is normal and thus you're going to need more self care than normal. You are making a difference even just sharing the way this makes you feel. We're all in this together and I can see you know that too.

No worries!

Oh I certainly don't disagree with you. Yea my interpretation of what you were saying is that Caitlin was the 'another' dead American. Which is definitely true. Stay strong.

Lmao I use LLM powered tools in my work daily, I understand their limitations and stay within them so say what you will. I still think your comparison is dumb.

You're not wrong but the point here is that it's actually way more than one.

Your point is a false equivalence. Just because people said the same thing doesn't mean a calculator and an LLM are equivalent in their accuracy as a tool.

You are implying that one must ensure the veracity of the output of a calculator in the same way that one must ensure the veracity of the output of an LLM and I'm saying no, that's strictly not true. If it were than the only way you could use an LLM incorrectly would be to type your query incorrectly. With a calculator that metaphor holds up. With an LLM you could make no mistakes and still get incorrect output.

My point wasn't that people don't make mistakes they obviously do. My point is that calculators are deterministic machines; to clarify that means if they have the same input they will always have the same output. LLMs are not and do not. So no it's not the same thing.
