       Say it with me, and internalize it: “Statistically likely text is not intelligence!”If you’re more of a nerd you can replace “text” with “tokens”, same thing.Fuck, it’s so easy for our brains to trick us into seeing meaning when there is no meaning.

       The LLM’s model has ingested every piece of text that has ever been on the Internet and built a huge matrix of weights of what strings of words are related to other strings of words. Then it uses this to generate new strings of words that are very statistically likely. It looks like magic, and it’s technologically very spiffy, but I assure you it’s just a combo of math and our own brains going “wow!”
