    They are just predicting the next token. In human text it's more common to talk to other people than a computer, so they end up talking to the computers like they were people.

    We don't know what LLMs encode because we don't know what the model weights represent. On the second point it depends how the models were made to reporduce text verbatim. If i copy…

    It wouldn't amplify them, there's no energy gain. A gravitational lenses just bends the trajectory of the waves. If you do it right it may be possible to use that to focus the sign…

    Pilot's shouldn't be encouraged to walk out of the cockpit mid flight, also after 9/11 all cockpit doors are locked during flight

    It's still a neural network, like your brain. It lacks plasticity and can't "learn" autonoumously but it's still one step closer in creating an artifical brain
