Great discoveries are often made when someone has the cleverness to join together multiple, seemingly unconnected domains.
I'm a layman in both QM and LLMs, and found a few of the comparisons here contrived, but it's an interesting idea nonetheless.

I was half expecting a discussion of the eigenvalues of a random matrix, or something at least halfway plausible, but no, this is useless mumbo jumbo, a la Deepak Chopra. People with zero understanding of quantum mechanics should stop making analogies to everything else.

This is slop.

#6> Tokens take on definite semantic meaning defined by their context.
> Quantum particles resolve to particles upon measurement
Tokens don't have meaning though, it is in our heads. Particles are measurable on the other hand

#7Both LLMs and QM are based on linear algebra. That’s pretty much where the similarities end.

Emergent Quantumness in Neural Networks
Abstract: ...Madelung equations, that is, a hydrodynamic form of the Schrödinger equation, can be derived from a canonical ensemble of neural networks where the quantum phase was identified with the free energy of hidden variables.

#10ah, yes, the spooky similarities of hilbert spaces and probability theory
