I think that the hidden state is really just at work improving the model's estimation of the joint probability over tokens. And the assumption here, which failed miserably in the early 20th century in the work of the logical posivitist

This is correct. It's really more of a mindset than anything. You take a guess at how much something will cost based on a quick calculation (good cloud providers make this easy, some cough Databricks cough just use a black box and

That would be fine too. The Soviets stealing our nuclear information was the biggest pro-peace act of the 20th century.

The Russia-Ukraine war already did that. Ukraine let us talk them into giving up their nukes, and see what happened. Iran having nukes would mean peace in the Middle East.

Yeah I was specifically asking for synthetic a priori knowledge, which AI by definition can't provide. It can only estimate the joint distribution over tokens, so anything generated from it is by definition a posteriori. It can generat

I think you should be more precise and avoid anthropomorphism when talking about gen AI, as anthropomorphism leads to a lot of shaky epistemological assumptions. Your car example didn't imply intelligence, but we're talking about
