alt Hacker NewsThe model is not the system. The model is a component of the system. The "cron job" (or other means by which a continuous action loop is implemented) and the necessary prompting for it to gather input (including subsequent user input or other external data) and to pursue a set of objectives which evolves based on input are all also parts of the system.
yeah, I get that.
But the actual bit that's doing the thinking is restarting from scratch every time. It loads the context, does the next thing, maybe updates the context, shuts down. One second later the same thing. This is not "highly autonomous" Artifical Intelligence. Just IMHO. Other opinions are also valid.
