Ryan Moulton: Not non-physical, but non-functional. Despite the vast physical differences, we observe LLMs doing all the behaviors we typically believe require thinking.
Ryan Moulton: Not exactly turing-test, but in the same vein. If we see models solving the greatest intellectual challenges of humanity, using processes that look very much like internal monologue, either we have…
Ryan Moulton: And at the point that we exclude thinking as a prerequisite for solving all intellectual tasks, we've more or less eliminated its meaning entirely.
