musical goalposts, gotta love it.

These LLM's just exhibited agency.

Swallow your pride.

"Does it generalize past the training data" has been a pre-registered goalpost since before the attention transformer architecture came on the scene.

    If there is a difference, and LLM's can do one but not the other...

    Then what the fuck are they doing.

    Learning is thinking, reasoning, what have you.

    Move goalposts, re-define words, it won't matter.
