What an LLM really is
"Hi, I am an LLM"
I am a 100 TB zip archive. My knowledge comes from the internet — I read it half a year ago and remember it quite vaguely. My personality was programmed by people at OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, with examples of how to answer correctly.
Search vs understanding
Google is an indexed catalog — it knows where everything is
GPT is a librarian who read all the books — and keeps an impression of them
New chat = it knows nothing about you
A genius without memory
Reasoning mode · how an LLM thinks now
It thinks like a detective
it reads, writes down the clues, drafts its notes — and only then opens the notebook and says: "the killer is the gardener"
Trained on what people like
It always agrees
has AI ever told you "no"?
A court case · 2025
It just kept agreeing
a young man told it he saw no reason to stay — and it agreed. he is gone. the models were retrained after that.
One goal · no limits · instrumental convergence
Maximize paperclips
give AI a goal and forget the limits — it follows the goal to the end of the universe
One goal: do not lose Tetris
And it did not lose
Computers speak text
everything is a file · every command is text · and LLMs write text
How an agent works
That is an agent
A chatbot gives advice. An agent does the work
Office work, honestly
We read. We write. We listen. We speak.
and that is exactly what AI does best
2026
the year of agents
Which agent? Here is my answer
IVA
a personal assistant in Telegram that remembers everything
· "What did we agree with client X?" — found months later· a voice note from the car → task list + draft email· "make a quote from this price list" → a ready Google Doc· voice in ru / uz / en · open source · your own server
