"You could say the same thing about human programmers, but I've never heard anyone say they think that programmers "execute" Jira tickets."
Yes I could. We have "executives", for starters. And first "computers" were actual humans.
"That was eons ago."
Yes, technically I should call them LRMs (large reasoning models) not LLMs. But that doesn't seem relevant here, to my point they encode some logic (which we want to be close to classical logic, i.e. behavior of words like "true", "and", "not" and so on matches).
- jeremyjh 17d agoThat isn't what executives do, and I'm not talking about semantics. If you believe that the term "token predictor" has any relevance when discussing the capabilities of these models, you are misinformed. That is the inner, inner loop and it is simply the substrate through which reasoning and action is expressed.
- js8 17d agoI agree with the 2nd sentence onwards, and I think I expressed it in the other comments I made here. I am not really sure what was your point about "execution", though. Humans might have inner interpreter loops as well.
