My best friend who has literally written a doctorate on artificial intelligence doesn't. If you do, please write a paper on it, and email it to me. My friend would be thrilled to read it.

Yeah I sort of cringed when I read his comment to be honest

The whole point of the area of work that as far as I know is called interpretability, is precisely to try and figure exactly how these things work

So I thought your comment was a good way of putting this

I don't know much about this space other than a user of Claude and a Electrical Engineering background...

However reading some Standford study summaries (not the whole thing) and just generally where AI research is now, it's clear that researchers can't deterministically say exactly how the black box works.

So yet gain, HN armchair scientists are no better than any other topic. I love reading comments here, but so many people have opinions on things that aren't well founded.
