I struggle to reconcile frontier LLMs' proven decompilation abilities with any assertion that humans possess equivalent parsing skills.
They're looking at information as information; we're looking at it in some higher order abstraction.
The degree of nativeness of the skill is orthogonal to the raw power of these systems. A frontier model has access to dozens of GPUs, each moving terabits of data, and performing trillions of matrix multiplication operations, per second.
