That is a silly point. We very clearly are not "a series of weights for probable next tokens", as we can reason based on prior data points. LLMs cannot.

Unless you're using some mystical conception of "reason", nothing about being able to "reason based on prior data points" translates to "we very clearly are not a series of weights for probable next tokens".

And in fact LLMs can very well "reason based on prior data points". That's what a chat session is. It's just that this is transient for cost reasons.
