It’s definitely not indexed, we use RAG architectures to add indexing to data stores that we want the model to have direct access to, the relevant information is injected directly in the context (prompt). This can somewhat be equated to short term memory

The rest of the information is approximated in the weights of the neural network which gives the model general knowledge and intuition…akin to long term memory

or it can be equated to a shitty database and lossy compression (with artifacts in the form of “hallucinations”), but that doesn’t make the tech sound particularly smart, does it?

but half the posts in your history are in this thread and that’s too many already

People have such crazy misconceptions about AI. Glad to see someone else knows how it works at least.

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here’s the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
