I come back to this way after everyone else has stopped reading. But it’s been making me think. Richard Dawkins says he thinks LLMs think. And the physical angle is that nothing is special about humans and software simulating it would also be thinking. But from using LLMs all the time, and understanding what is under the hood, I’m thinking that the current approaches aren’t cutting it for me and I’m not expecting them to get there. There was such big jumps early on but progress is slowing as though diminishing returns. So we can build things that think and outthink us, but I don’t think anything we’ve hit upon yet is going to scale up into it.
