There are a few innate reflexes but you lose them quickly and they are pretty basic. Our brains have way way more neurons/parameters than these models and are still not overfitting... the issue lies in the learning method.

What about Transformers? And GPT-3 is fundamental improvement to earlier LLMs. Same goes for speech recognition which went from highly parametric to end to end in the last decade. Many other things like stable diffusion, TTS, etc. It'

Yeah before you needed soldiers and many of them so you couldn't add all of them to the 1% of elites. Those people were obviously sympathetic with people not from the 1%, so you could only go so far until the soldiers mutinied or just.
