Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Drag chooses to respect your identity as a non-statistical model. Drag's opinions are not as important as the way you feel, and drag will make an effort to avoid upsetting you by referring to you in the wrong way.
This is not about identification. I am a human (which is not a social construct) which exists in the real world. Statistical models don't exist in an onthological sense.
Drag wonders whether you've changed your mind about LLMs being statistical models, or whether you've decided there's no such thing as LLMs.
They don't exist in an onthological sense, yes. (They are completely deontological; they don't exist in the real world via representation, like vectors or matrices)
