Getting treatment or not is a decision. It is linked to pressure of suffering. You write that you did well and managed your life well. Awesome.
Other people feel extensive pressure of suffering and are not able to manage their lifes like you did. For those, professional treatment can be life saving.

I do like the style of the images, though. Does anybody know how this style is named?

I think it is pretty safe to assume that at least one third of Googles users will take what the chatbot says as gospel and will not look any deeper, just as users previously took the first search result as the verbatim truth.

That, I think, is a very interesting question!
I guess Google found itself in a situation where they had to jump on the AI bandwagon and add AI features to their search. Summaries existed before for certain topics, now they pop up always.
In the long run they probably need to integrate ads into these responses or they find another way to monetize the combination of "knowing about user intent" and "present matching answers".

I think there are different factors. One is that doping in cycling had big media coverage, especially in the 90ies to 2010s. Media uncovered that basically everyone in the race org knew that doping was involved. See for example Cofidis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cofidis_(cycling_team) This adds to the perception that cycling is very prone to doping.
Whether it is so more than other sports... I don't know. As was mentioned before, in cycling as in other endurance sports, doping can push you very far. Then there is the way the whole sport is organized. In the tour de france, privately sponsored teams compete against each other. I think this is very different to, say, a world championship. A country or trainer may have the interest of pushing their athletes beyond what is legal. But in a privately sponsored team, the pressure could be much higher.

A unified API for online advertising. Think Plaid for ads platforms instead of banks.

I wrote my bachelors thesis about IDE support for lexical effects and handlers: https://se.cs.uni-tuebingen.de/teaching/thesis/2021/11/01/ID...
All of what you state is very doable.

But then the random seed is the source of randomness and not the training data. So the question "Can LLMs do randomness" would actually boil down to "Can PRNGs do randomness".

Sorry, I did not mean to downtalk the blog post :) I did not mean silly as in stupid. It's rather the title that I think is misleading. Can a LLM do randomness? Well, PRNGs are part of it so the question boils down whether PRNGs can do randomness. As mentioned here before, setting the temperature of say GPT-2 to zero makes the output deterministic. I was 99% sure that you as the author knew about this :)

This is silly. Behind an LLM sits a deterministic algorithm. So no, it is not possible without ibserting randomness by other means into the algo, for example by setting temperatures for gradient descent.
Why are all these posts and news about LLMs so uninformed? This is human built technology. You can actually read up how these things work. And yet they are treated as if it were an alien species that must be examined by sociological means and methods where it is not necessary. Grinds my gears every time :D

Among them were jewish nationalists like Fritz Haber. He was allegedly a very proud german. Didnt help him though.

Uh, you are right, that was a silly comment I made.
original answer: because if you dont come up with these ints randomly they are sequential which can cause many unwanted situations where people can guess valid IDs and deduce things from that data. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_tank_problem
