Everyone seems to be complaining about LLMs not actually being intelligent. Does anyone know if there are alternatives out there, either in theory or already made, that you would consider to be ‘more intelligent’ or have the potential to be more intelligent than LLMs?

    This is all good info, thanks.

    I just have one minor nitpick:

    An LLM takes about 80 watts per inquiry reference. So a LLM takes quite a bit more energy per connection to run. We’re running 100x the connections on 1/4th the power.

    The math is wrong here. At “rest”, the brain is still doing work. What you call “an inquiry reference”, is just one LLM operation. I’m sure the human brain is doing much more than that. A human being is thinking “what should I have for dinner?” “What should have I said to Gwen instead?” “That ceiling needs some paint” “My back hurts a bit”. That clang you heard earlier in the distance? You didn’t pay attention to it at the time, but your brain surely did. Let’s not begin with the body functions that the brain, yes, the brain, must manage.

    So an LLM is much, much, much more resource intensive than that claim.
