Interesting read! As a mathematician I always had difficulties with AI jargon, even though I've been writing on neural networks since the late nineties. Almost at the same time as the emergence of transformers, I had only minimal conta

Mmmh, have you read the Quanta article? It does a good job, almost without equations.

Key here: "represented" I'm only a mathematician, no physicist. But I think to remember, that the concept of a continuous physical space becomes quite muddled at this scale.

Even then. The required mapping is 'onto' (otherwise, a discontinuous counterexample would be trivial). The air particles are equivalent to the water.

Show me a mathematical continuum in the real-world. And this is just the domain, nothing said about the mapping yet (the continuous function). Every analogy has its limits.

I think in this context, there exists a much more significant uncanny valley than any we know of right now. The usual example from visualization completely pales in comparison. There is no "almost" solution for any non-trivial tas
