He is telling you how it mechanically works. Your comment about it “understanding what that means” because it is an NLP seems bizarre, but maybe you mean it in some other way.

Are you proposing that the attention input context is gone, or that the attention mechanism’s context cost is computationally negated in some way, simply because the system processes natural language? Having the attention mechanism selectively isolate context on command would be an important technical discovery.





I wonder if the AI companies will eventually just have a tool that lets the llm drop it's context mid convo when the user requests it.

I'm telling him... and you... that what I meant by the phrase is exactly how the LLM interpreted it.

For some reason that imbecile thinks that their failure to understand means they know something that's not relevant

How is it relevant what his interpretation of a sentence is if

1. His interpretation is not what I meant

2. The LLM "understood" my intent and behaved in a manner that exactly matched my desire

3. The universe was not deleted (Ok, that would be stupid... like the other individuals stupidity... but here we are)


Calling other people making comments in good faith “imbecile” or stupid is not awesome dude. It’s against HN rules and the spirit of this site.
