bigbangcmbr

i like to think along these lines too. sometimes it's paralyzing. one of the biggest mind blowing facts is that all this complexity started at a point in time: big bang. no one explicitly programmed it. all of it came from a soup of elementary particles 13.8b yrs ago.

Pluribus is kinda different. An LLM cannot wander too far from the average. Even if it wanted too. In pluribus, the 'others' work toward a common goal, each utilizing their own expertise, knowledge and experiences in a shared way to achieve a common goal. Each is unique. They can, if they want, perform as the host's individual before the the joining. To put it other way, the other in pluribus are convergent by choice, llms are convergent by design.
