A wild number of people who present themselves as knowledgeable or even experts on the subject either have no idea or worse, do not believe that it is possible to ie set a static seed value and send the same prompt across multiple fresh contexts and get the same result*

It's genuinely a little concerning. It does not help that many of them are gaslighting themselves into thinking these things are benchmark crushing elite hackers by running effectively unsecured, unfiltered, unlogged production environments.

*Obviously this also means a temperature of >0 to avoid the greedy trap, the same generation params, on the same software, hardware, drivers etc etc

My personal opinion is that this is the state of so-called experts in most scientific or engineering fields at their inception - it takes a fair bit of time for the ecosystem to filter out and players to get an intrinsic feel for how "full of it" others are.

I also believe that due to the sycophantic nature of popular LLMs, people tend to fool themselves more than usual by having a digital "yes man".
