Of course. But after reading too many mechinterp and functional anatomy studies I'll be lying if I say that there are no striking similarities between the biological evolution, brain function, societal processes, and implicit processes inside big models. Surely this deserves a mention and can't be trivially dismissed.

There is no biological evolution of the models. They are emulators of an existing biological process of language. Ghosts, as Karpathy himself put it.

It seems like we're witnessing the architecture of a mind being built with a new set of components.

Like driving a car — it's transportation, and it will get you where you're going, but it doesn't use bones or muscles. It has many characteristics in common with builogical locomotion, such as energy requirements, intertia, and the need to navigate, but it doesn't involve proteins or sugars really.

Well said, this seems like a very appropriate comparison.

GenAI thinks like the human mind in the same way that cars run like the human body.

Similar utility in drastically different ways.

Good thing I'm not talking about any of that
