In smash bros, turn the launch multiplier all the way up and turn on sudden death mode so everyone starts at 300%.
Go to one of a few levels (the underground area of Hyrule Temple works, the underground area of Skyworld is better, but it’s best if you make a custom stage)
Getting hit once will send you bouncing around the screen! You only ever die if you get unlucky. It’s hilarious, and we call it “Pinball Mode”. I’ve made a couple custom stages to improve on the experience.
The question of “do they think” is a little complicated because I don’t think there is a clear enough definition of what counts as “thinking” to say. This discussion should be independent of the quality of LLM results.
As for what they are actually doing:
Imagine a mathematical function that takes in a series of numbers and spits out the next number in that series.
A “neural network” is just a fairly general mathematical model to describe any function, and using curve fitting techniques we can approximate the previously described number pattern function.
Now assign each letter to a number and define the pattern being a large block of text consisting of almost the entire internet.
Now that we’ve trained our mathematical model, we can give it some text and let it complete it, and it will produce a somewhat reasonable answer.
There are more math and computational tricks going on, and a couple more steps to get from a completion model to a conversational one, but this is the jist of how it works.
Where I am in the US, delivery basically means using one of the apps, and it’s much more expensive but the fees are typically hidden in insidious ways like just having the menu item prices be more expensive instead of having a delivery fee.
