It really shouldn't be hard to understand that a titan of a field has forgot more than what an arm chair enthusiast knows.

I remember having thoughts like this until I listened to him talk on a podcast for 3 hours about chatGPT.

What was most obvious is Chomsky really knows linguistics and I don't.

"What Kind of Creatures Are We?" is good place to start.

We should take having Chomsky still around to comment on LLMs as one of the greatest intellectual gifts.

Much before listening to his thoughts on LLMs was me projecting my disdain for his politics.
