Have you tried asking e.g. Claude to explain it to you? None of the usual resources worked for me, until I had a discussion with Claude where I could ask questions about everything that I didn't get.

Perhaps we have already reached ASI. :)

  • In some respects, yes. There is no single human being with a general knowledge as vast as that of a SOTA LLM, or able to speak as many languages. Claude knows about transformers more than enough to explain them to a layperson, elucidating specific points and resolving doubts. As someone who learns more easily by prodding other people's knowledge rather than from static explanations, I find LLMs extremely useful.
