I’m in the Penrose camp who thinks understanding is the result of quantum activity. LLMs are really good at making associations, but they don’t make “connections” in the sense that they’re able to integrate an understanding of the world to contribute to it in an original way. Also, the power efficiency of the brain relative to GPU farms. It just makes me think we’re no where even close.

I certainly hope that’s the case. I really like programming and building things for money, fun, and status.
