@jrconlin@mindof.jrconlin.com @mimsy_borogrove@mastodon.social @emma@orbital.horse @glasspusher@beige.party the endless "we don't know what happens inside LLMs, they might be thinking logically!!!" is honestly making me even angrier. it's taking a tiny kernel of truth and then spinning a whole layer of bullshit around that

Meh, I just chuckle at the whole "We don't know what's going on inside an LLM".
No, you do. Hell, it's super easy to figure it out because the code, papers, and studies are all out there. The bits that are mysteries are the weights that were generated, and some of the associations, but yeah, y'all already know exactly how these things work.
It's just more fun to yell "MAGIC!"
(I swear these are the same folk that were convinced they had found their spiritual guide in a magic 8 ball.)
