I find the capability of LLMs deeply surprising, so I want to track down the source of the surprise before doubling down on anything (except the argument from Slavic pessimism, which the killbots will have to pry from my cold, dead hands)

The more time passes the more I’m convinced that what we are witnessing is that intelligence is not actually that rare or complicated and any kind of system complex enough to create emergent behaviours will end up displaying it.

Very curious to see where things are going to go from there.
