  Several answers touch on this already. “Intelligence” is a very flattering “magic” feeling that doesn’t really explain what is happening with LLMs.

  Probablistic/Statistical weights are heavily involved here. But it feels “intelligent” because of a combination with ever-expanding processing/computational speed and power that can be thrown at the prompts. Things that were previously limited to on-site super computers can now be accessed via the internets/online services.

  It’s worth noting also that dynamic “seeding”, such as via on-demand searches can contribute to better/worse context resolution.

  AI is the common speak for large language model querying (with all the above, plus other details), in mind. So, Probablistic Inferencing (at) Super Speed (i.e. “PISS”) seems about right to me!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to wake up during nightmares?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  While the lucid dreaming comments may work, there is a lot of trial/error/luck to it, I think.

  I had accidental lucid dreaming as a kid but have failed to do so as an adult. I have tried numerous times, even with considering suggestions from people online. Therefore, I will come at this from experiences I have had without intentional lucid dreaming. (Possible that I reached a point of accidental lucid dreaming during these, but hope it helps, nonetheless!)

  Finding “perfect” hiding places after/during a chase.

  Recognizing that waking up from a similar/the same situation very recently (eg the movie Inception) is basically impossible. Even if you have brain damage, the duration of a day and night are fairly difficult to ignore. Brain damage or medicine/drug use is more like losing chunks of time that feel lost vs waking up repeatededly and/or in short order.

  I (at least once recently) had a scare that felt like sleep paralysis and/or attempted demonic possession. Basically, I was sleeping but “felt” awake but couldn’t move/make sound and felt like darkness was “hunting” me. I was scary af. I just kept trying to scream or yell “ahhh”. I think I tried it about 8+ times before I woke up finally. Each time I screamed, it got louder…slowly. I knew I was breaking free slowly, but it was extremely scary and I felt like if I didn’t escape, I would be trapped/taken forever.

  Depending on the feeling of the dream, you can sometimes play in/with it. This touches on the accidental side of lucid dreaming, I think, but I have had variations of feeling afraid and then treating it as a game, such as hide’n’seek or even flipping it to start finding/hunting the thing that feels like the agressor. Not sure I recall enough details to explain specific examples, but hope this general explanations helps!
