Setting the temperature to 0 mathematically tells the system to always choose the absolute highest-probability word (known as "greedy decoding"), but in no reality is this "deterministic". Output drift is still a thing.

Out of curiosity, which models are fully deterministic? I was under the impression that all LLMs were fundamentally probabilistic.

You're not alone.

My guess is that both interfaces where claimed (by a driver) already, so it's impossible to bypass (hence "back doors"), as the goal was to send commands directly to the hardware.

But it's hard to derive that conclusion from context alone, the style is so fucking annoying to read.

Except that you're wrong. The referenced sentence is in a quote block, written by Opus.

And they have spywares in their IDE and if they even think for a second that you're using the trial software in an unauthorized way, their lawyers will threaten you.

Like, they won't even try to discuss with their sales team, or try to clarify the situation. Despicable company if you ask me.

Two wrongs don't make a right. Whatever StudioCanal is doing, does not ethically or logically absolve Sony of doing the same to its own customers.

You're moving the goalpost. I get that many people view Vincent Bolloré as a bad guy.

But him being a "far-right actor" or whatever that means doesn't excuse Sony's anti-consumer actions in the slightest, that's completely missing the point, and turning things political for no reason. And also a logical falacy.

that's a wild theory, considering that Tolkien himself described Gollum to be "a small, slimy creature" after the revisions, probably because of Jansson's depiction of him. and although the parallel is clear between many characters of the Hobbit and the Bible, do you have any credible sources that Tolkien took inspiration from apocryphal texts (or in this case the Hadith) ?

Also with the rapid advances of vision language models, I would be surprised if we don't see image-to-text-to-voice system that works with real-time video in a not-so-far future! Like a reverse "Genie" where instead of providing a prompt and it generates a world, you provide a streaming video and it spouts relevant information when changes happen, or on demand, for instance...

You do know that some people aren't totally blind, right?
