    Once again, the science piles up behind my “we’re just LLMs running on the mecha suit controlled by bacteria” theory

      Well neural networks (the construct LLMs use) is modelled on how neurons process information. Just in incredibly simplified form.

      And I’m pretty sure most scientists agree that humans are actually a colony of many different species given how we rely on bacteria to live.

        Oh, the metaphor goes further. We’re not the pilot of the suit, we’re not the hardware, we’re not the OS of the suit, we’re the AI assistant

        We speak for it with the other AIs, we get called up to handle things we don’t have learned behaviors for, we analyze and provide feedback - we give advice and it feels like we’re making decisions, but we’re not
