I loved the whole series and now recommend them to folks looking for something wild and fun in the sci-fi realm.

Knowing this, there is no approaching "singularity" of advanced machine intelligence.
Furthermore, LLMs are not learning or self-improving in any way. They are fed training data, corrections, and prompts and produce their answers solely through predictions, not as a result of learning.

Ok, I choose to define intelligence as having the ability to transform vectors of tokens with matrices. There, LLMs are now intelligent and what you just said is incorrect, because this is one possible definition of intelligence.
Seriously, nobody can argue against what you are saying if refuse to elaborate on what exactly you mean. Provide the definition for "intelligence" you are using.
> it is the human being reading intelligence into the behavior of LLMs. There is none in the LLM.
There is no justification for why it must be a human and only a human that can "read intelligence into" something.
I give up. I don't think you even know what you're claiming.

We didn’t make it to the singularity but the race is on. Hope he realized we finally had a bit of a breakthrough.
