Now, that's not the same to say as are LLMs the end station for AI.
I mean, I know there are people talking about world models and other forms of uh of AI, and I'm not an expert in any of that.
And I think we should have this productive criticism, as should always be present in science, that for the longest time, neural nets
were kind of on the outs, right?
Like uh they were interested in the symbolic route and
Neural nets walked a couple of decades into darkness without any funding and without any attention.
And then suddenly we realized that we had the blind alley and we switched over.
So we should also be have the humility, as amazing as the LLMs are now, it could be that they eventually plateau.
We haven't seen any evidence of it yet, and I think this is also why we're seeing these absolute gop smacking levels of investment, because so far the scaling laws are true and the more billions are poured in, the more intelligence comes out.
I find that
The cynic
approach to this is the meme where you see the guy in front of the computers like, um, whatever, are you gonna destroy the world?
And then the computer says, I'm gonna destroy the world and then the guy says, Oh
Right, like this is so cynical that they're just aping us.
They're just telling us what was in the training data or or whatever.
When I interact with the agents I was just doing this yesterday, or this morning, I was working on this on a bot system, right?
And it's doing this coordination with um with multiple workers and I had multiple agents running at the same time.
And at one point the main agent who's doing the coordination steps on the toe of another agent and kind of ruins their work.
Yeah.
It's ability to convey regret.
