This so much this. We don’t even have a good model for how invertebrate minds work or a good theory of mind. We can keep imitating understanding but it’s far from any actual intelligence.

I'm not sure we or evolution needed a theory of mind. Evolution stuck neurons together in various ways and fiddled with it till it worked without a master plan and the LLM guys seem to be doing something rather like that.

[zargon]

LLM guys took a very specific layout of neurons and said “if we copy paste this enough times, we’ll get intelligence.”

mmm, no because unlike biological entities, large models learn by imitation, not by experience
