Temperature is a dice, not a mood

In one sentence

At heat 0 the model repeats the same safe sentence. At high heat it writes a pretty lie. Facts like cool dice.

AI is not a person. It is a next-word engine with a very good memory of patterns.

Read the idea, watch the picture, then try it with your hands.

Watch the idea

The concept

A dice, not a personality

Temperature stretches how wildly the next word is picked. Zero repeats. High heat writes a pretty sentence that no handbook said.

Two desks

Handbook, citation, JSON: keep the dice cool. Titles and poems: a little heat. Never one knob for both jobs.

Worked example

Office hours

Tuesday 14:00 must be the same three times. If the dice invents Wednesday, the heat is too high.

Picture to keep

Cool facts · Warm drafts

  1. 10–0.3: retrieve, cite, form
  2. 20.7+: ideas, not truth
  3. 3Never heat a citation
