That's changing the meaning. But say, even if we keep that constant, we can still talk about what's easier or hard for me, right? The listener and the, right? Which phrase structures I use, which combinations, which, you know.

But I think that's why... these large language models are so successful is because they're good at form and form isn't that hard in some sense. And meaning is tough still. And that's why they're not there. You know, they don't understand what they're doing.

We're going to talk about that later maybe, but like we can distinguish in our, forget about large language models, like humans, maybe you'll talk about that later too, is like the difference between language, which is a communication system and thinking, which is meaning. So language is a communication system for the meaning. It's not the meaning.

And so that's why, I mean, and there's a lot of interesting evidence we can talk about relevant to that.

Well, you or anyone has to think of a task which they think is a good thinking task. And there's lots and lots of tasks which should be good thinking tasks. And whatever those tasks are, let's say it's playing chess or that's a good thinking task or playing some game or doing some complex puzzles. Maybe...

maybe remembering some digits, that's thinking, remembering some, a lot of different tasks we might think, maybe just listening to music is thinking, or there's a lot of different tasks we might think of as thinking. There's this woman in my department, F. Fedorenko, and she's done a lot of work on this question about what's the connection between language and thought.

what language is okay and so as i mentioned earlier you can localize my language area your language area in a few minutes okay like 15 minutes i can listen to language listen to non-language or backward speech or something and and we'll find areas left lateralized network in my head which is especially which is very sensitive to language as opposed to whatever that control was okay
