There's a lot _I_ don't understand about LLMs, but I strongly question whether there is a lot that the best experts in the field don't understand about LLMs.


Oh, boy, are you in for a surprise.

Our theories of how LLMs learn and work look a lot more like biology than math. Including how vague and noncommittal they are because biology is _hard_.


this is an argument against LLM cognition. we don't know anything about the human brain, and we don't know anything about LLMs, so they must be similar? I don't follow


It's an argument that we don't need to understand LLMs to build them. But mostly it's just a statement of fact to promote correct understanding of our world.
