Ah. Well, if that’s what you are saying then you are preaching to the choir. :) See e.g. the “pretrained LLMs are simulators / predictors / oracles” discourse on LW.
I feel like there is probably still some disagreement between us though. For example I think the “bulk of the intelligence comes from non-agentic next-token predictor” claim you make probably is either less interesting or less true than you think it is, depending on what kinds of conclusions you think follow from it. If you are interested in discussing more sometime I’d be happy to have a video call!
Agree that we still disagree and (in my biased opinion) that claim is either more interesting or more true than you realize :)
Not free for a call soon but hope eventually there is an opportunity to discuss more.
