> But for many purposes you will not find it helpful to think of human beings as bags of chemicals
But when we talk about humans, we're not talking about the chemicals involved in those humans.
When we talk about LLMs, the tokens are the valuable thing they produce for us. We want LLMs because they give us sequences of tokens.
Agentic behaviors don't require end-users to be aware of tokens at all. Also, we literally say human actors have great chemistry :)
?? we pay for tokens though…
