#404 โ€“ Lee Cronin: Controversial Nature Paper on Evolution of Life and Universe

And again, it's not just about compression. It is about understanding how you can make the most of the architecture you've already built. And I think this is something beautiful that evolution does. We're reusing those architectures. We can't just abandon our evolutionary history.

And if you don't want to abandon your evolutionary history, and you know that evolution has been happening, then assembly theory works. And I think that's a key comment I want to make, is that assembly theory is great for understanding where evolution has been used. The next jump is when we go to technology. Because, of course, if you take the M3 processor, I haven't bought one yet.

I can't justify it, but I want to at some point. The M3 processor, arguably, there's quite a lot of features, a quite large number. The M2 came before it, then the M1, all the way back. You can apply assembly theory to microprocessor architecture. It doesn't take a huge leap to see that.

Yeah, I mean, I think the thing about large language models, and this is a whole hobby horse I have at the moment, is that obviously they're all about the evidence of evolution in the large language model comes from all the people that produced all the language. And that's really interesting. And all the corrections in the Mechanical Turk.

That's part of the history, part of the memory of the system. Exactly. It would be really interesting to basically use an assembly-based approach to making language in a hierarchy. My guess is that

you could we might be able to build a new type of large language model that uses assembly theory that it has more understanding of the past and how things were created well basically the thing with llms is they're like everything everywhere all at once splat and make the user happy so there's not much intelligence in the model the model is how the human interacts with the model but wouldn't it be great if we could understand how to embed more intelligence in them in the system
