- Comment on Halloween is a more giving and fun holiday than Christmas 5 weeks ago:
He was by all accounts an insufferable asshole, petty, vindictive, and completely aware how fucking stupid most people are esp compared to him. And also a Biblical conspiracy theorist who was much more interested in the exact dimensions of the Old Temple than in developing Calculus.
Also he arguably created the miraculous technological world in which we live better lives than he could have dreamed. Our debt to him can never be fully paid. His name will rightly outlive us.

Animal brains have pliable neuron networks and synapses to build and persist new relationships between things. LLMs do not. This is why they can’t have novel or spontaneous ideation
This Nobel prize winner seems to disagree with you.
Neural nets do indeed learn new relationships. Maybe you are thinking of the fact that most architectures require training to be a separate process from interacting; that is not the case for all architectures.
