I often see a lot of people with outdated understanding of modern LLMs.

This is probably the best interpretability research to date, by the leading interpretability research team.

It's worth a read if you want a peek behind the curtain on modern models.

There is no mind. It's pretty clear that these people don't understand their own models. Pretending that there's a mind and the other absurd anthropomorphisms doesn't inspire any confidence. Claude is not a person jfc.

You’re reading the title too literally. “Mind” is only mentioned once in the entire article, and that’s in the title.

Ah yes, it must be the scientists specializing in machine learning studying the model full time who don't understand it.
