Is it just me or the clocks frequently break or change appearance without the page being refreshed?
Edit: nevermind, I skipped past the sentence explaining that every minute, the site prompts LLMs for a new solution. This is hilariously sad how LLMs aren't able to be consistent from one prompt to another.
It's the expected result if your big ol' artificial intelligence wannabe is ultimately just a stochastic word combinator.
if every single token is, at the end, chosen by random dice roll (and they are) then this is exactly what you'd expect.
that’s a massive oversimplification
not really. If the system outputs a probability distribution, then by definition, you're picking somewhat randomly. So not really a simplification
Typically that's configurable. Like for a chatbot, you'd want it to give the same/similar results for a given question, where with a character creator, you might want the results to vary so you can re-run until you get something you like.
Of course that wouldn't be as funny here.
When I tried it Kimi K2 was surprisingly consistent and not even as bad as the others. Occasionally the numbers or hands (I couldn't really tell which) were possitioned a bit off, for example the seconds hand will appear to be horizontal but the 9 or 3 will be slightly below or slightly above the hand. But whoever can center a div may throw the first stone, and it's not going to be me for sure
