I haven’t played in ages but innates / facets seem like a big deal, no?

Do Dota2 players even keep up with this? I tried to come back but checked out when I saw random neutral drops. It was always a bit overwhelming but it looks more and more insane every time I do it.

Can’t wait for this thing, such a fun concept.

I doubt that anyone saying that LLM are calculating next word solely based on previous sequence. It’s still statistics, regardless of complexity.

Most people don’t know what Bayesian statistics are so you could say most people don’t really get how machine learning works in general anyway. It’s not misleading though as it perfectly sets expectations on what you’re getting as output. It’s much more healthy to general understanding of AI than anthropomorphizing very inflexible and limited models achieved thanks to technology that is seemingly in a plateau.

ELIZA from 1966 was enough to convince people that computer program they were talking to was human. People are now being sold on getting answers to their questions via natural language prompts and those answers are pretty much plausibly sounding sentences that happen to be right sometimes due to probability calculations.

Bayesian statistics is very different from what’s being taught up until high school (at least here) and is foundational to earlier machine learning applications like spam filters. It’s hard to imagine understanding what LLMs do without basics.

DF is 50% owned by Gamer Network according to their statements. So who knows 🤷‍♂️
