  We can't tell yet if that is true, partially true, or false for humans. We do know that LLM can't do anything else besides that (I mean as a fundamental operating principle).

    Why is it important? “Statistical fit” is what you want…not understanding this is indicative of a limited understanding of what statistics is. What do you think it means to truly understand something? I don’t get it: read probability theory by Jaynes. It doesn’t really matter if the brain does Bayesian updates but that’s what’s optimal…

      "Statistical fit" to environment is arguably what all life does.
