"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Looking for resources to better understand LLMs (leminal.space)

I do not believe that LLMs are intelligent. That being said I have no fundamental understanding of how they work. I hear and often regurgitate things like "language prediction" but I want a more specific grasp of whats going on.

I've read great articles/posts about the environmental impact of LLMs, their dire economic situation, and their dumbing effects on people/companies/products. But the articles I've read that ask questions like "can AI think?" basically just go "well its just language and language isnt the same as thinking so no." I haven't been satisfied with this argument.

I guess I'm looking for something that dives deeper into that type of assertion that "LLMs are just language" with a critical lens. (I am not looking for a comprehensive lesson on technical side LLMs because I am not knowledgeable enough for that, some goldy locks zone would be great). If you guys have any resources you would recommend pls lmk thanks
