Definition 2 (Large Language Model). Let S be a computable seta of all the finite-length strings of alphabet A and (s0, s1, . . .) be an one-to-one enumeration of all the elements in S. A large language model, denoted h, is a function that

The result in the theorem applies to your brain. Your brain can be modelled as an LLM in the sense of the paper up to arbitrarily small error. The result is a diagonalization argument that is not very relevant for the real world.

I can assure you it has no relevance for people working with LLMs, as the result includes your brain, for example.

This is just another diagonalization against some finite thing, like the no free lunch theorem. An "LLM" in their definition is essentially any finite thing which predicts the next token. The same result applies to your brain too,

I feel like some people living wealthy cushy American lifestyles think the world is fine the way it is. It's not. The world has a dramatic lack of physical and mental labor, which is the cause of economic struggle. The best hope these

Lack of quality in the details yes but the fact that characters and scenes depict consistent and real movement and evolution as opposed to the cinemagraph and frame morphing stuff we have had so far is still remarkable!

The way that LLMs are billed now, if you can densely pack the context with relevant information, you will come out ahead commercially. I don't see this changing with the way that LLM inference works. Really? Because to my understanding

I think one issue with this is that some candidates who might be great at the actual job could, for whatever reason, be bad at this verbal type of simulation. Perhaps they work by staring at the problem on their screen a lot, perhaps they s

Well for LLM services that do what they currently do google may have an advantage, but all this stuff is still only experimentation with the goal being hopefully much more advanced things, like almost-agi agents. If this happens then no one

LLMs are Marokov Chains in the following sense: States are vectors of context-length many tokens. Then the model describes a transitions matrix: For a given context-length sized vector of tokens it gives you probabilities for the next con

It is largely a text-only model, but tiny amounts of information from other modalities are indeed represented in the text. The best example is GPT-4's drawing ability. From text only it might theoretically be possible to infer to some
