Yeah, it not a linear cap (x% entropy doesn’t mean x% wrong) but it does seem like a hard cap. To be honest, the more I’ve understood scaling laws the more I think that the elephant in the LLM room is the entropy of the language. It explains why coding languages are so much more tractable (they’ve got WAY less entropy) and it explains why we haven’t seen a step function in capabilities for LLMs since GPT-4 outside of making specific toolings for particular contexts. I think E is coming to dominate and there isn’t a workaround for it.
