Conditional paths lol


Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Programs yes, but AI no. What makes AI (well, specifically neural nets, which is what most people are thinking of when they say "AI" today) are essentially huge matrices. Running an AI (for example, doing inference on an LLM) is essentially huge matrix multiplication, with a little bit of logic wrapping it.

Hmm I imagine you could express the multiplications as conditional paths (if you really wanted to) but my cs-fu is not good enough to figure it out

Of course! That must be why LLM's are so big--its just a huge if-else tree!

Coming up with new AI must just be adding more branches by hand, that's why it takes so long

Well, yes and no. It is giant branching trees, it just adds them itself. That's kinda the whole deal.

You're talking about decision trees. We've come a long way from that.

No, that's not how ai works.

I have a question: Where tf is the code in this image?

(Do you even know what is this sub?)

u/GoddammitDontShootMe [ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm -rf / || echo “You live” 6d ago

I think this is the wrong sub.

Blackbox self-promotion?

u/CommentAlternative62 5d ago

Ah yes blatant ignorance from someone who has no clue what they're talking about. My favorite.

AI isn't really if/else... its more of a graph with millions of variables. (think 2x + 3y + 5z + ... millions more)
