That depends; it could be either redundant or contradictory. If I understand it correctly, "stochastic" only means that it's governed by a probability distribution but not which kind and there are lots of different kinds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_probability_distributi... . It's redundant for a continuous uniform distribution where all outcomes are equally probable but for other distributions with varying levels of predictability, "stochastic chaos" gets more and more contradictory.
Stochastic means that its a system whose probabilities don't evolve with multiple interactions/events. Mathematically, all chaotic systems are stochastic (I think) but not vise versa. Or another way to say it is that in a stochastic system, all events are probabilistically independent.
Yes, its a hard to define word. I spent 15 minutes trying to define it to someone (who had a poor understanding of statistics) at a conference once. Worst use of my time ever.
Not at all. It's an oxymoron like 'jumbo shrimp': chaos isn't deterministic but is very predictable on a larger conceptual level, following consistent rules even as a simple mathematical model. Chaos is hugely responsive to its internal energy state and can simplify into regularity if energy subsides, or break into wildly unpredictable forms that still maintain regularities. Think Jupiter's 'great red spot', or our climate.
jumbo shrimp are actually large shrimp. that the word shrimp is used to mean small elsewhere doesn't mean shrimp are small, they're simply just the right size for shrimp that aren't jumbo. (jumbo was an elephant's name)
Pretty sure he's not talking about the physics of stochastic chaos!
The context gives us the clue: he's using it as a metaphor to refer to AI companies unloading this wretched behavior on OSS.
Pretty sure the companies are intermediaries. Open claw is enabling this level of activity.
Companies are basically nerdsniping with addictive nerd crack.
isn't "stochastic chaos" redundant?
