Well, I think of every Large Language Model as if it were a spectacularly faceted diamond.
More on these lines in a recent-ish "thinking in public" attempt by yours truly, lay programmer, to interpret what an LLM-machine might be.
Riff: LLMs are Software Diamonds

- maxaravind 6mo agolol nice analogy. LLMs are frozen diamonds forged in compute. We need then to be malleable in production and change with experience.
- adityaathalye 6mo agoAnother way I see it is... Mind is process. LLM is (very lossy) snapshotted state of process/mind. LLM in-process is mind-emulator with potential to explore the state-space of the mind-snapshot. Consequently, and by its very construction, LLM cannot be mind.
