LLMs aren't world models. They're linguistic models. However, with the right training database, it turns out that a good parsimonious linguistic model will have a (multiple, probably) world model as a subset, as it is so much be

Why do you think "biological neuron"s sidestep the halting problem? People, who happen to run on biological neurons, have a sense of boredom that tries other approaches, and is also willing to eventually "give up", which

Those aren't part of the model though. The model is just a representation of the world. An abstract representation can be useful, but so can more concrete ones. A representation that is amenable to logical reasoning is also useful,

The first "better" approximation, while having a better "max distance" (0.019608% vs 0.027253%), has a _worse_ span between min and max (0.039216% vs 0.027253%), which probably matters for some applications.
