But they're not "slow"! Unlike biological thinking, which has a speed limit, you can accelerate these chains of thought by orders of magnitude.

- Jweb_Guru 7mo agoI assure you that LLM thinking also has a speed limit.
- ramses0 7mo agoBut imagine a beowulf cluster of them... /s ...but seriously... there was the "up until 1850" LLM or whatever... can we make an "up until 1920 => 1990 [pre-internet] => present day" and then keep prodding the "older ones" until they "invent their way" to the newer years? We knew more in 1920 than we did in 1850, but can a "thinking machine" of 1850-knowledge invent 1860's knowledge via infinite monkeys theorem/practice? The same way that in 2025/2026, Knuth has just invented his way to 2027-knowledge with this paper/observation/finding? If I only had a beowulf cluster of these things... ;-)
- bitexploder 7mo agoTheir consolidation of memory speed is what I was referring to. The model iterations are essentially their form of collective memory. In the sense of the human model of intelligence we have thoughts. Thoughts become memory. New thoughts use that memory and become recursively updated thoughts. LLMs cannot update their memory very fast.
