    LLMs can’t and they don’t know what can, it’s entirely bullshit. They don’t understand “intelligence” or “sentience” or “sapience” or generally how the brain works. These are business bros talking about math nerds while referring to neurobiology (which is entirely outside their field). The domain of brain science is impressive, but very far from mapping out the unknowns, it’s not even close.

    Which is to say that they can’t replicate something that they can’t understand at the required level of understanding. The brain is not understandable yet. Which is to say that the story that there’s some linear ramp up possible to “climb” to “AGI” and “ASI” and whatever bullshit term they come up with – that entire story is bullshit. At most, it’s old science fiction.
