I dont need a 5 minute podcast to explain the fact that LLMs are literally selecting the statistically most common answers, because thats literally what an LLM is

Thats like being surprised that the top 5 correct answers on family feud were the most commonly picked answers from the poll.

Dawg... thats literally how it works lol.

I gave my agents a skill that has them cat from /dev/urandom (which is this corralled into text characters) any time they need to generate passwords for something. Even then I have only ever had one need it like twice.
