    I think of LLMs like digital bugs, doing their thing, basically programmed.

    They’re just programmed with virtual life experience instead of a traditional programmer.

      Back in the early 2000s CERN was able to simulate the brain of a flat worm. Actually simulate the individual neurons firing. A 100% digital representation of a flatworm brain. And it took up an immense amount of processing capacity for a form of life that basic, far more processor intensive than the most advanced AIs we currently have.

      Modern AIs don’t bother to simulate brains, they do something completely different. So you really can’t compare them to anything organic.
