#14I had always had wanted to ask him if he didn’t think now that his critique of BF Skinner’s “Verbal Behavior” had been wrong after all, and that LLMs are the experimental proof of Skinner’s idea that simple conditioning can give rise to something that, to us, looks like intelligence.
Now I’ll never know.
(But maybe the two of them can have a discussion now in the afterlife, now that their worldly egos and public opinion are out of the way.)

Tried to add the death, but other editors are still in disagreement. It's not solidly confirmed yet. I don't think either Jacobin or New Statesmen are reliable sources for this kind of news (they don't usually do breaking news like that).
Debate about it on the talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Noam_Chomsky#Is_he_dead%3...
