The HN discussions for these kinds of articles is so annoying. A third of the discussion follows a pattern of people re-asserting their belief that LLMs can't possibly have knowledge and almost bragging about how they'll ignore any evidence pointing in another direction. They'll ignore it because computers can't possibly understand things in a "real" way and anyone seriously considering the opposite must be deluded about what intelligence is, and they know better. These discussions are fundamentally sterile. They're not about considering ideas or examining evidence, they're about enforcing orthodoxy. Or rather, complaining very loudly that most people don't tightly adhere to their preferred orthodoxy.
